Snow way this weather will ruin my outfit! Maria Fowler slips and slides her way out of Essex nightclub in heels and minidress

By Andrea Magrath


Fashionable frostbite? Maria Fowler is pictured leaving Nu Bar in Loughton, Essex at 2am in the snow in just a mini dress and heels


As the country was blanketed in snow last night, most of us bunkered down indoors with fires blazing and buried under blankets.

But nothing can stop the hard-partying Essex gang from doing what they do best - and in the minimal amount of clothing, regardless of the temperature.

Maria Fowler didn't let a little snow hinder her night out at her old stomping ground at Nu Bar in Loughton, where she partied until 2am.


True to form, the former TOWIE castmember chose to risk frostbite for her fashion, leaving the nightclub in just a tiny mini dress and heels.

There were no coats, scarves or even tights in sight as the reality star gingerly made her way to her waiting car.

Maria was determined to show off her her outfit after telling fans earlier that she'd invested in a new, head-to-toe look for the occasion: 'Tonight is going to be bigggg new tan, new dress, new hair, new nails,' she tweeted.

Bambi moment: The reality star slid her way to her waiting car after partying inside the nightclub

Maria wore a pale pink bandage dress by Celeb Boutique that featured a plunging V-neck and short hemline.

She slid her way across the pavement in her towering platform heels, with friends gripping her tightly as she negotiated the ice and snow.

The former redhead told fans on Twitter that she almost had to spend the night at the venue, writing: 'So annoyed stranded at @nubar_essex can't get cab home. Snowed in.'


Helping hand: Maria gingerly made her way over the icy path in her towering heels

Take me back to Perth: Miss Fowler recently relocated to Scotland to be with her boyfriend Lee Croft

She eventually found transportation, but kept followers updated on the hairy journey home, tweeting that they were 'skidding around like a bobsleigh!'

And if she thought negotiating the icy path outside Nu Bar was difficult, Maria had to contend with ten inches of snowfall outside her house when she got back, tweeting a picture of her feet buried in powder.

Earlier in the evening, she bumped into Jessica Wright, and while her old BFF Lauren Pope has publicly announced that she no longer considers Maria a friend, Jess was thrilled to catch up with her former co-star.

We need another bottle! Maria and Jess chatted while helping themselves to plenty of vodka

The girls were spotted catching up while helping themselves to vodka and mixers at their VIP table.

It was announced last month that Maria would not be returning to the ITV2 series, joining other departing stars Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross and Harry Derbidge.

Maria has since moved to Perth in Scotland, where her footballer boyfriend Lee Croft is on loan to St Johnstone.

Air kisses: Her old BFF Lauren Pope may have called time on their friendship, but Jess was happy to bump into Maria on her return to Essex

The couple, who have been dating for just over four months, will remain there until the end of the season in mid-May.

Derby-born Maria has only returned to Essex for a few days but it seems she is already pining for her new home.

After her night out she wrote on Twitter: 'Ah now want to be transported bk to perth to my fella lol... Wishing Saints luck tomorrow against Hearts. Will be watching on sky.' (sic)


Party girl: Maria tweeted a picture of herself letting her hair down inside the club with vodka redbulls

'I still think about killing myself': Suicidal Maria Fowler reveals torment over 'evil claims' she worked as a £600-an-hour escort

By Sarah Bull


Maria Fowler has revealed she has been suicidal following claims that she worked as a £600-an-hour escort.

The Only Way Is Essex star said she has been struggling to cope since the reports first hit the headlines, and has been relying on support from friends and family.

Maria said: 'This has ruined my life - my whole world is a mess because of these evil claims.

Suicidal: Maria Fowler says she has contemplated killing herself over claims she used to work as an escort

'When I heard what was going to be printed I felt suicidal. I just thought if I ended it all and I wasn't here any more I wouldn't have to deal with this.

'When I'm on my own I still get caught up in my own thoughts and think about killing myself. I've tried to distract from it and when I'm around people I'm OK - but it's off and on to be honest.'

The 25-year-old model also revealed she became so paranoid after the story broke that she even began to think her mother would believe she had worked as a prostitute.

Struggling: Maria admits her life has been ruined by the report

She told the Daily Star Sunday: 'It was the worst day of my life and I was in complete despair. I got so paranoid I started to worry even my mum would think I was a high-class hooker.

'I didn't eat for three days after hearing about it. To me this is worse than being accused of murder or taking drugs.'

It emerged earlier this week that Maria had allegedly met with wealthy men around the world including lawyers, bankers and sheikhs who showered her with gifts.

Exclusive agency: A gallery of the girls featured on Carltons of London, where Maria worked

Under the name Kelly, Maria worked for the exclusive agency Carltons of London from 2009.

But Maria says as far as she was concerned, she worked as a promotions girl for the company, and was paid £1,500 for a three-day trip to the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi.

She said: 'I'd done hosting before in Wembley - you're there to smile, hand drinks out and chat to people.

'We were told to dress classy and cover our cleavage and no one tried it on with us at all.

'There's no way I was considered an escort by anyone there.'

Maria added she feels betrayed by the woman who employed her at Carltons.

She said: 'I was put in touch with this woman while I was a lapdancer and didn't even know her name until recently. I feel like I've been totally conned by her.

'I was naive to go on all the trips but I never sold my body for money.

'All I wanted was to build a career for myself and now my life is ruined.'

Maria said: 'I know what kind of stuff goes on now. But when I was younger I had no idea and was just flattered.

'Young girls need to be careful who they trust.

'If any good can come of this it will be if others learn from my mistakes.'

He's old enough to be your father! Maria Fowler, 25, plants kiss on Mick Norcross, 48, as love blossoms for TOWIE stars

By Nadia Mendoza


Sealed with a kiss: Despite their 23-year age gap, Maria Fowler and Mick Norcross seem to be enjoying their blossoming romance


Forget Sugar Hut, Mick Norcross should rename his club Sugar Daddy.

Despite his greying hair and growing waistline, the 48-year-old appears to have made Maria Fowler fall for his charms following a speed-dating game.

At just 25, The Only Way Is Essex redhead is half his age and could have her pick of any handsome young contenders.


However, the new showmance will have viewers questioning if the couple really are lovestruck or just playing up to the cameras.

Instead of declaring her blossoming affections for the silver fox, Maria was more interested in the apparent global attention they are accumulating.

She seemed pleased as punch yesterday when she wrote on Twitter: '@micky_norcross & @MariaFowler... Trending worldwide! #Essex.'

The bizarre relationship began after co-star Gemma Collins arranged a 'singles night' last week.

Holding hands: Time will tell if Maria and Mick are serious about their relationship, which began after Gemma Collins threw a 'singles night'

The blonde ITV2 star, who recently lost over three stone in weight, held a party where the girls were given locks and the boys were handed keys.

As luck would have it, Kirk's father relished his Cinderella moment when his key fit Maria's lock.

Unsurprisingly, Kirk, who at 23 is two years younger than his father's new girlfriend, felt uncomfortable that his former enemy was muscling in with his old man.

Anything for air time? Whether they were acting or not, Mick and Maria appeared to be having a good time while they were out this weekend

The two young stars failed to put their differences behind them last season, with Kirk referring to Maria as 'an extra'.

But during a visit to a salon for a dual head massage, the father and son discussed the latest turn of events.

Kirk told Mick that 'family comes first and that's it', but after a chat with Maria he softened his approach to the lovebirds.

He joked: 'As long as you make him smile. Be careful, if you get a bit... he might have a heart attack.'

True romance? Mick Norcross and Maria Fowler put on a public display of affection after dinner in Essex and a night at his club Sugar Hut

Maria also saw the funny side of the age gap, telling Lauren Pope and Lauren Goodger: 'I'll make him (Kirk) call me mum - imagine Sunday dinner, me and him and if you and Kirk got back together.'

Following a lack of air time in series three, an angry Maria is said to be adamant on doing whatever it takes to increase her broadcast coverage.

An insider told The Sun: 'Maria wants to make sure that she doesn't fade into the background.

'She knows being part of a relationship with another cast member will guarantee her more scenes.'

Maria split from boyfriend Craig Church last month.

That won't help! Maria Fowler chows down on a greasy burger as she admits she wants to slim to a size six

By SARAH BULL

Enjoying that? The Only Way Is Essex star ordered a Double Whopper burger sandwich and onion rings despite saying she wants to slim to a size six

She's said she wants to slim down to a tiny size six because she's not happy with photographs of herself.

But perhaps The Only Way Is Essex star Maria Fowler hasn't yet started her diet, as the 25-year-old was spotted yesterday indulging in a greasy meal at Burger King in Marbella.

Dressed in an Ann Summers monokini, Maria kept her sunglasses on as she enjoyed a Double Whopper burger and chips at the fast food outlet.


Chowing down: Maria looked as though she was thoroughly enjoying her meal


Maria's meal came as she admitted to Closer magazine she is conscious of 'looking big' in photographs, despite being a size 8.

And Maria, who has posed naked for Breast Cancer Care's Pink Fridays campaign in the publication, has even taken up boxing in a bid to lose a few pounds.

She said: 'I see bits others wouldn’t that I’d like to change! I see paparazzi pics of me in a bikini, and I think I look too big - I hate it. I really want to be size 6.

Splashing around: Maria was spotted yesterday enjoying a dip wearing a cute Dolly Boutique bikini

Maria, who is also planning to have an advanced laser liposuction procedure to get rid of 'a small pocket of fat' on her bottom, also spoke to Closer about her mother Trudy's battle with breast cancer.


The full interview appears in this week's Closer magazine, out now

The TOWIE star revealed Trudy, 56, told her she was suffering from the disease five years ago, leaving her 'numb with shock'.

And Maria said while posing completely naked was 'nerve-wracking', she wanted to do it to raise awareness of breast cancer.

The Only Way Is Wrestling: Chloe Sims unleashes her fury on Maria Fowler, solving it with an arm wrestle in middle of club

By Daily Mail Reporter


Calm down: Chloe Sims seems to be arguing with Maria Fowler at Nubar in Essex


A drunken night out usually involves a few spillages down a designer frock and wobbling around on skyscraper heels.

But not content with their usual Saturday night antics, Maria Fowler and Chloe Sims got physical last night.

The Only Way Is Essex girls appeared to be having a mock screaming match as Chloe flailed her arms at Maria, who looked unimpressed but remained calm, on the balcony in full view of revellers at Nubar.

Let's get physical: TOWIE girls Maria and Chloe flung their arms around, but kept smiling, suggesting they were having a mock argument during a night out

Dramatic: Chloe waves her arms around as she talks to friend and co-star Maria


Dressed in a neon pink dress with heels to match, the glamour model gesticulated in a dramatic fashion while her friend looked on.

But there didn't seem to be any love lost, as the girls then played an impromptu arm wrestle in the middle of the Essex venue.

Maria tweeted a picture of them, saying: 'I won!!!!! @Chloe_Sims is WEEEEAK!! En route RS lounge. We gonna party ♡ these girls.'

The pair then headed to their next venue in E17, the infamous east London area where the nineties boyband took their name.

But not content with RS Lounge, they trekked back to Nubar, with Maria tweeting Lauren Pope that it was 'SHOCKING' inside.

Grimace: Chloe pulls an unflattering face while battling friend Maria


The leggy brunette was still partying into the early hours, declaring her love for Chloe at 2am.

She rambled: 'I LOVE this girl!!! Roll on series 3 we are gonna cause some CHAIOS!!!!!!!!!!!

'Brilliant night yet again at @nubar_essex xx'

Considering their flamboyant behaviour, perhaps its no wonder that the object of Maria's desire does not return her affections.

The ITV2 reality star recently revealed she has a crush on The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness.

But sadly, the feeling does not appear to be mutual.

Bandmate Max George said: 'Im not keen on that Essex lot. Jay can do a lot better than dating any of them.

'They’re like clones of each other. They’re all so orange. No way would we let Jay date one of them.'

Tom Parker also chipped in, saying: 'They play a character in the show and then actually act that way even in real life. It’s weird.

'Definitely not for us... We wouldn’t waste our time watching that.'.

Get the party started: Chloe looks a little worse for wear as Maria drags her along while she gazes at the pavement

Keeping her balance: Chloe looks a little bewildered as she gets out the taxi

Muddy hell! TOWIE's Maria Fowler gets down and dirty at boot camp in bid to lose weight for summer

By Sarah Bull


Working through the pain: Maria kept followers updated with how it was going on Twitter, and said at the beginning of the week she had already lost 3lbs


She's one of the slimmest stars on The Only Way Is Essex but Maria Fowler is still determined to lose weight.

The 24-year-old star put herself through a week at the No 1 Bootcamp in Norfolk in a bid to shape up ahead of the summer.

But the exercises were anything but easy, as Maria crawled through the muddy ground on her elbows and did push ups on the beach.

However, the busty redhead didn't seem too worried about getting down and dirty on the regime, giggling and laughing as she looked down at her mud-stained pink vest top and black leggings.

After completing the camp, though, Maria was keen to get back to her pampering, tweeting fans: 'Need a serious pamper after all this.. Nails, tan, eyebrows! And toned hopefully!x'

And the reality TV star was clearly thrilled with the result of the intensive workout plan, telling her followers she intends to have a week's break before returning to the bootcamp in a week's time.

She tweeted: 'Jus looked in bigger mirror before shower n my body DEFO looks loads better and more toned.Im definatly gona do my best to come bk in a week.

'So @no1bootcamp tried, tested and thumbs up from me, as I don't ever excercise so shows what a week intense exercise and healthy eating can do!! X'
While it is unclear exactly how much weight Maria managed to lose during the week, she tweeted after just a couple of days there that she had shed three pounds.

Maria isn't the only celebrity to go to the No. 1 Bootcamp to tone up.


Making a dash for it: Maria completes her run as the workout nears an end


Chantelle Houghton, Jennifer Ellison, Sophie Anderton and fellow TOWIE girls Lydia Bright and Lucy Mecklenburgh have all discovered the benefits of the course.

After going to boot camp, Chantelle, who released her own boot camp fitness DVD, said: 'Putting on a bikini can be quite daunting, but I feel completely different now.

'My body’s not perfect but I’m so much more confident. It’s fantastic to be able to buy a dress that I like rather than one that hides my stomach.'
