Or the script writers just want to make Arg and Amy a "couple" for the next series or am i being too cynical??

Jessica Wright - Singer - she earns no money from this and does not have a record deal
Lauren Goodger - Fashion Assistant (was, now unemployed)
Sam Faiers - Shop / Glamour Model
Lydia Rose Bright - Fashion (unemployed)
Lucy Mecklenburgh - Fashion (unemployed)
Lauren Pope - DJ (that is a hobby, unemployed)
Billie Faiers - Shop
Chloe Sims - Ex-Playboy - Currently unemployed
Gemma Collins - Car sales
Maria Fowler (Lauren Popes friend) - Model (unemployed)

Towie is half their jobs

I would also add

Kirk - unemployed
Mark - unemployed
Joey - unemployed

Lydia has an lovely lithe figure as witnessed last night.

Totally agree. I don't see why he can't be mentioned, just because he's clearly decided he doesn't want to appear on the show!

Maria has a modelling agency
Mark has a modelling agency
Kirk works at Sugar Hut with his dad
Joey is unemployed

I doubt mark has any agency. he may have some models who he has got some work for but is he vat reg, does he declare to the taxman?

Kirk just gets pocket money. what "work" does he do apart from be at the club?

What is the name of Marias agency, is it online and is it a company?

Well, he has a website, not much there though....

Its a bit like trying to explain Darwins theory of Evolution to a group of teenage girls in here isn't it?

Ok I'll leave you lot alone

that is just around 5 online pages and means nothing

Lucy isn't unemployed, she works for Forever Unique, and Laure (Popey) is/was actually quite a successful DJ and she also has her own business selling hair extensions.

Joey is unemployable.

To be fair, I think at the mo, magazine/newspaper interviews, columns, live PA's pretty much earn them enough not to have a 9-5.And I doubt any employer would be happy for one of their staff to spend half their time filming and not working, hence none of them have a job.

Oh god. Imagine him working anywhere!

Bless Lauren, she was so sweet lol

Regarding the careers chit-chat above - how come Jess has stooped to serving as Joey Essex's "totally reem" girl? Does this mean it has all gone t*ts up for girlband Lola? (possibly literally) I am concerned for Jess' curriculum vitae

I know a lot of their ages are questionable on this as a lot of them seem to have been doing the rounds for a number of years in things.

Jess looked on the "mature" side for being a promo girl she looks around 30 but her "essex" age will be around 24 I assume.

Lola last season streched the term "girl" band.

Lauren Pope seems to have put her glamour career behind her nearly 29, she and was well known as a dj, she was in something called Mile High on Sky 1, I think that was about 10 years ago

Edit was 2003-2005

Rita Simons was in this as well

Funding from the Bank of Mum and Dad probably helps the rest of the time

Well, she was getting a bit old to be still dreaming of being a popstar.

But- in last weeks Sun magazine they have a lauren and sam diary page and lauren, jessica and two other girls were in a band in the x factor a couple of years ago and where up against another girl band to make it through to the final but simon chose the other band

'Considering' buying an £800k house at circa 25 years old. Is the boy that rich?

according to the NOTW Amy is leaving at the end of the year and getting her own show

Which will doubtless feature much Peter Andre, Kerry Katona, and Danielle Brown's coffee shop, leavened with ocassional ad hominem attacks on Katie Price, since (if the story is true) this will be a CAN production.

I think the bank of mum and dad would be the ones stumping up the cash tbh.

The longer this program is allowed to go on, the worse it becomes. They need to end it as its ridiculous. I was expecting something outrageous or some interesting people but all I saw was boring and tedious people. I am sure my friends up North could pull off something much better. Thumbs down to this poorly acted and scripted dross!

Does anyone know why Kirk's mum has not featured in series 2? She was in in quite regularly in the first series, but seems to have been replaced by his dad. Maybe their taking alternate series?

read the article again, and it also mentions that Harry may be leaving too
