Revenge is a dish best served with lashings of fake tan

She left TOWIE under a storm cloud - with allegations her quiff-loving boyfriend Mario Falcone cheated on her with a Sugar Hut Honey.
Despite the pair reconciling, Lucy Mecklenburgh's boyfriend slammed the Essex reality show on Twitter, likening it to scripted soap Coronation Street.
But a week after tailor Mario scrubbed up and smooth-talked his way back onto our screens it is boutique owner Lucy's turn to head back to Essex.

 

Here's to me! Lucy Mecklenburgh blasts back on our screens on Sunday - after 'taking some time out'

In a sneak peek of Sunday's episode the pretty brunette is seen sipping Champagne with Jessica Wright as the pair have a private dinner.
Producers are keeping their lips sealed as to exactly what the pair said but Lucy makes a toast with her perma-tanned pal - perhaps as a sign of positivity to the future.
In the episode, set to air on Easter Sunday at 10pm, camps are divided - but this time its not about love or the price of drinks at the Sugar Hut - but a football competition.

 

She's back... but what will she say? Lucy has a catty dinner with Jessica Wright... does she have revenge in mind?

The male stars of the show challenge each other to a football match to determine who really are the kings of Essex.
With the big game dawning, football supremo Arg gets his team together for a training session.
But the episode soon turns to love as Jess and Ricky Rayment discuss their future and after the reality star turned businesswoman was spotted looking at engagement rings, Millie Mackintosh could soon have a rival for the reality wedding of the year.

Mario revealed that he'd taken Lucy away for a while to work on their relationship: 'She wanted to get away from everything, all the crap, so we've been away,' he said.
'She's still going to move out and get her own space, but I've realised that nothing even matters apart from me and Lucy,' he added.
 He told Joey that everything is now back on track between him and Lucy after the couple were plagued by rumours, but admitted that they'd had a hard time.
