The season finale of The Only Way is Essex is set to be filmed in Kent this week.

The structured reality TV show, often abbreviated to Towie, is bringing the cast to Hythe to record the conclusion of its latest series.

Residents have even been invited to be extras in the scenes which will be filmed at a secret location on Friday.

By now, the cast of the ITVBe show should be familiar with Hythe as the show has been filmed there before.

The final episode of last year’s 30th series centred around a garden party was also filmed in the town.

The 2014 Christmas Special 'The Only Way is Essexmas' was filmed at Lympne Castle.

The Bafta award-winning show follows the lives of a glamorous cast as they go about their lives in Essex.

The show has been going since 2010 and was originally broadcast on ITV2 before moving to ITVBe in October 2014.

Last month reality star Lucy Mecklenburgh, known for being in TOWIE, was spotted exploring Port Lympne Safari Park near Hythe with her family.

In May, former star of the show Gemma Collins also visited the reserve describing it as “the most beautiful place”.

She posted a picture of her posing next to a wisteria plant and a rhino, and said the work the animal park does is amazing.
