It's that time of year again!
For the third summer in a row, the cast of The Only Way Is Essex have decamped to Marbella, otherwise known as 'Marbs', for more constructed reality mayhem on the Costa Del Sol.
After flying in on Saturday morning, the females of TOWIE wasted no time in stripping down to their bikinis to show off their figures.

Leading the way was Jasmin Walia, who flaunted her figure in a pink lacy two-piece.
Making her bikini debut in relative newbie Grace Andrews, who joined in Series 11, opted for a mint-coloured number with metallic embellishments.
Clearly excited about returning to Marbella with the TOWIE cast for the second year in a row, Jasmin tweeted: 'I don't know what to do today!!...o wait I'm catching a plane to #marbs ✈️#seeya @OnlyWayIsEssex ☀️x.'
New girl on the block: Grace only joined TOWIE in Series 11 and was involved in a 'love triangle' with Mario Falcone and Lewis Bloor
Poolside is your catwalk! Jasmin certainly looked at home showing off her toned curves
Part-time banker worker Jasmin has formed a friendship with new co-stars Grace, Farn Parman and Georgia Kousoulou since her original partner-in-crime Abi Clarke left after Series 10.
While Grace and Jasmin were providing some scenery for the men, their male co-stars Tom Pearce, Elliott Wright and Dan Osborne showed off their sculpted frames for their female fans.
The men slipped into their colourful swimming trunks as they sipped on beers by the pool.

After arriving in Marbella and checking into their apartments on Saturday, the TOWIE gang were quick to start the party, with some taking to a yacht for a ride on the Mediterranean Sea.
While Tom, Dan and Elliott were spotted in the yacht, it appears Grace, Jasmin, Georgia and Fran missed out on the sea cruise.
However, given that Ferne McCann was on board, perhaps its no surprise after she famously clashed with Fran in the last series.

Wearing a white bikini, Ferne split her time between soaking up the sun and cuddling up to boyfriend Charlie Sims, who she reunited with in recent months after both cheated on each other.
Also on board was Lydia Bright, who has recently re-joined TOWIE after quitting after Series 7.
She was a bit more modest than Ferne, preferring to stay in her white sundress.

Another star re-joining the show is original castmember Harry Derbidge, who quit after Series 2.
He is now dating existing TOWIE star Bobby Cole-Norris.
Missing out on the Marbs spin-off is Billie Faiers, who is heavily pregnant with her first child.
