The reality show that made their names is currently off air - but The Only Way Is Essex sweethearts Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright won’t be finding themselves out of the headlines any time soon.
The pair were enjoying some time off in Alicante last week following the end of the second series a fortnight ago - but seemed to be behaving as if they were still being filmed for the show.
The engaged couple hired a luxury motor boat and then larked about in a series of poses that would have looked somewhat staged if they hadn’t simply been taking a few days holiday.

Showing off her curves in a bright pink and white gingham check bikini, at one point Lauren looked rather uncomfortable as she sat on the prow of the boat.

They then took a towel and lay on top of one another on a ladder poking out of the back of the boat in a bizarre-looking scene, but then moved to sit on a more comfortable padded cushion big enough for two as their hired skipper steered them through the waves.
Later, Mark, 23, cracked open a bottle of bubbly and then laughingly sprayed his fiancée with the contents, which she didn’t seem too impressed with.

He then appeared to try and make it up to her by holding a glass of fizz up to her mouth to sip before planting a smacking big kiss on her lips and pointing out to a sight of interest back on the shore.
However, night club promoter Mark then seemed to disappear off into his own world, and was seen gazing blankly out to sea, until Lauren started prodding his shoulder with her bare right foot to get his attention again.
It certainly seems as if her ’no carbs before Marbs’ diet is working, in which she pledged on the show to lose weight before her main summer holiday in the Spanish resort of Marbella later this summer.

Lauren told her Twitter followers that she got back last night and is due on Daybreak today.
She wrote: ’Just got back from lovely break in Spain. I’m still dressed like its hot n sunny lol!! Guys I’m on DayBreak 2moro morn watch my interview X’
Fiancé Mark meanwhile has got an appearance lined up on Loose Women a few hours afterwards.

Mark had been on holiday with his family as well as Lauren but arrived back in Britain on Friday for his jaunt up to Manchester for the British Soap Awards.
The pair have been fending off accusations that their engagement is staged ever since Mark popped what was something of a surprise proposal on TOWIE, the second series of which finished earlier this month.
However, they have both been insisting ever since that their relationship is for real as these happy holiday snaps will surely show.
Fans will find out more when TOWIE returns on ITV2 later this year, with scenes expected to be shot in Marbella this summer.
