Model and former The Only Way is Essex star Samantha Faiers will visit Ashford this month.

Miss Faiers, who is currently dating fellow former cast member Joey Essex, will visit the Ashford Designer Outlet on Saturday, August 16 to promote her new perfume, La Bella.

The Big Brother contestant announced her plans to her 1.28m Twitter followers yesterday, saying: "Next signing is on Aug 16th @FragranceShopUk in Ashford, Kent. A southern date for you all."

The 23-year-old shot to fame on the ITV2 semi-reality show The Only Way is Essex in 2010.

She left however at the end of the 11th series earlier this year following her Crohn's disease diagnosis and to work on her relationship with Joey.

In 2014, she competed in the 13th series of Celebrity Big Brother, and finished in fifth place.

She is currently the face of lingerie chain Ann Summers and co-owns fashion store Minnies, based in Brentwood, Essex, with her sister Billie.

Miss Faiers' visit comes four months after her boyfriend Joey guest starred at a Bounce club night at Liquid and Envy, in East Hill.

The reality TV star will be in The Fragrance Shop in the Kimberley Way shopping centre on Saturday, August 16.
