The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright has joked the new series of the show could be over before it’s even begun – as no one is talking to one another.

The scripted reality show is about to return to ITVBe for its 14th series and Lydia revealed: “We started filming last week, and I don’t think you understand the amount of dramas there has been!

“No one’s talking. Everyone hates each other. And I just feel like, where can we really go, because we’ve peaked so early!”

Lydia chatted about the new series with co-stars Elliott Wright, Georgia Kousoulo and Billy Norris.

Towie returns on Sunday February 22 2014.
