Remember when The Only Way is Essex was all about sporting the very best Vajazzle in Brentwood, Amy Child's cousin constantly saying "shuuuuut up", and that impenetrable love triangle between Mark Wright, Lauren Goodger and Lucy Mecklenburgh?
As the glam-tastic reality TV show celebrates its fifth anniversary, here's what happened to the original cast members:
Mark Wright
Muscle-bound Mark Wright was mostly muddled over whether he wanted to go out with childhood sweetheart Lauren Goodger or Essex rival Lucy Mecklenburg in the debut series of Towie.
He swaggered out of the show and into the night in series 3, never to be seen again... Until he was eating buffalo balls in the jungle a month later for his successful stint on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - leaving as runner-up to winner McFly bassist Dougie Poynter.

Danielle Armstrong is currently the most emotional girl in Essex, as she's been named the biggest sobber in this series of Towie.
After tonight's finale - in which Danielle breaks down again - she will have cried nine times across the 12-episode series. And if you don't believe us, ITV sent us this handy picture to prove it:
Danni's emotional state is understandable, given that she broke up with her nearly-fiancé Lockie in Marbella at the beginning of the series.
But her bouts of blubbering this series now mean that she is tied for third place with Lydia Bright when it comes to who has cried the most in the entire show, as both of them have wept 21 times (although Lydia only let it out once this series).

Bobby Lockwood has been crowned the winner of Tumble.
The BBC One gymnastics competition drew to a close this evening (September 13) as Lockwood battled H, Carl Froch, Amelle Berrabah, Sarah Harding and Lucy Mecklenburgh for the title.
The final saw each of the six compete in a combined floor and double trapeze routine, as well as taking on The Vault.
H led the leaderboard after receiving a full 40 points for his superhero-themed floor routine. Girls Aloud star Harding was awarded an impressive 38 points, receiving strong comments for her highest-scored performance of the series. The pair were joined by actor Lockwood in the top three.
The winner was decided purely by viewer votes, as the judges' scores had no effect on the final result. Once each celebrity had completed The Vault, head judge Nadia Comăneci chose Froch's "different" approach as her favourite.

Prepare for your Saturday nights to get much less gymnastic - Tumble comes to an end tomorrow with finalists Amelle Berrabah, Bobby Lockwood, Carl Froch, Ian 'H' Watkins, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sarah Harding battling it out to win the trophy!
Obviously to do that they're going to have to pull out all the stops - and we've got some exclusive pictures and gossip from their training. Who had to have emergency physio? Who keeps dropping their partner? And who has the best grimace? Read on to find out...
Amelle
All of the celebrities have to do a combined floor routine and double trapeze as well as the vault - but Amelle's pretty nervous because she has to complete head judge Nadia's challenge and give an aerial cartwheel a (literal) whirl.
We all remember how well that went last time she tried it, and we've heard her training has been "hit and miss" so far.
