New TOWIE cast member revealed and they’re the spit of reality TV royalty

Thank the reality TV gods because the latest series of TOWIE is just days away and finally our Sunday nights will have meaning again.

Filming began at the start of the year and there’s been a number of new faces spotted in front of the cameras. Not only does it look like James Lock.

Saffron and Junaid gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of filming as they posted themselves working on the show with their friends Lauren Bayford and Grace Lizzimore. It seems that Lauren and Grace will be appearing on the show – in a guest role, at least – when it returns and we couldn’t help but notice that she looks so similar to a reality TV legend.

Surely it’s not just us who think that Grace bears more than a passing resemblance to Geordie Shore.

Exhibit A: Grace

Exhibit B: Chloe

Seriously, it’s uncanny. They’ve even got matching highlights.

Although it remains to be seen whether Grace will be involved in any Essex drama, she does have history with TOWIE.

The reality telly newbie works as a hairstylist and runs her own company Hair By Grace. She’s previously styled the likes of Dani Imbert and, of course, her bestie Saffron for the series 30 finale.

Remember Saffron’s jaw-dropping unicorn look completed by sky-high blonde hair and a pastel unicorn horn? Yeah, that was Grace’s handiwork.

Well, if Grace’s appearance on the show is even half as iconic as her Saffron’s look then we’ll be very happy indeed.
