Brace yourselves ..the latest series of The Only Way is Essex returns to our TV screens on Sunday and it’s likely to spark demand for the Dominican Republic where the first two episodes were filmed.

Fans will see TOWIE favourites including Amy Childs, Amber Turner and Dan Edgar, Yazmin Oukhellou, James Locke, Diags, Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green on location in Punta Cana.

The cast stayed at the five-star all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to film the first two episodes, which will air on 21 and 28 August.

The stars were filmed walking along the resort’s 121-acres of white sandy beach and sunbathing around the resort’s 13 pools.

The reality TV show also showed them splashing in the resort’s Rockaway Bay Water Park, surfing on the oceanfront Flowrider, and playing around at the Hard Rock Golf Club at Cana Bay.

And as if that wasn’t enough product placement for the hotel, they were also filmed in its Rock Spa, getting ready in its suites, eating in its restaurants and dancing at the ORO nightclub.
