You don’t need to go as far as Oxford Street to shop shoulder-to-shoulder with the stars.

One of the glammest of the TOWIE girls past or present will be mingling with bargain-hunters at Ashford Designer Outlet on Saturday, August 16.

Model and former The Only Way is Essex star Samantha Faiers, who is the girlfriend of fellow former cast member Joey Essex, is in the county to promote her new perfume, La Bella.

The blonde 23-year-old shot to fame on the ITV2 semi-reality show in 2010. She left at the end of the 11th series earlier this year following a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease and to concentrate on her relationship with Joey. In 2014, she competed in the 13th series of Celebrity Big Brother, finishing in fifth place.

She is also the face of lingerie chain Ann Summers and co-owner of fashion store Minnies, based in Brentwood.

You can rub shoulders with Samantha at the Fragrance Shop at 2pm. Visit
