The series launched on 14 June 2015[2] with two Marbella specials. After the launch of the new series, it will be immediately followed by another one-off special "TOWIE: All Back to Essex" hosted by Mark Wright.[3] It is the third series to feature on ITV's new channel ITVBe. As well as confirming the new launch date, it was confirmed that ITV had renewed their contract keeping the show for a further six series, taking it to Series 21.[4] Ahead of the series it was announced that cast member Ricky Rayment had taken a short break from the show but would be back.[5] It was also confirmed that Mario Falcone had been suspended from the show for the second time, this time after promoting slimming pills on social media.[6]
