Buckle up, babes – Brentwood’s back with explosive drama filmed just 48 hours before airing. This season dives into Essex’s glitter-dusted chaos as old rivalries reignite, businesses boom and bust, and romance curdles faster than fake tan in the rain. With secret engagements, savage betrayals, and a Marbella trip that ends in handcuffs, TOWIE 35 proves some wounds never heal… they just get bedazzled.

The stakes are sky-high: A viral scandal threatens to bury a cast member’s career, a £1M boutique empire hangs by a thread, and the infamous “Nando’s Summit” ends in a ketchup-flinging meltdown. As alliances shift like Brentwood High Street trends, one truth remains: In Essex, loyalty is temporary – but the drama is forever.

The Only Way Is Essex Season 35 cast and biography

1. James Bennewith as Self

James enters Season 35 fighting to salvage his crumbled empire after his luxury car rental business implodes overnight. Broke but unbowed, he gambles everything on a high-stakes crypto venture with shady investors – while secretly crashing on Dan’s sofa. His downfall peaks when he’s caught selling knockoff Gucci belts at a boot sale… to his own ex-girlfriend.

Bennewith’s charm masks desperation this season. Watch him weep into his protein shake after a gym locker brawl, then rally with a £10K poker win at Sugar Hut. His redemption arc? Training as a life coach… between tequila benders.

2. Dan Edgar as Self

Dan’s “happily ever after” shatters when his fitness brand partner vanishes with £250K of investor cash – leaving him facing bankruptcy and a broken engagement. Forced to move into a shared flat with James, his zen facade crumbles into rage (and questionable hair extensions). His rock bottom? Working as a Chigwell dog-walker to pay legal fees.

Edgar’s Season 35 is a masterclass in chaotic reinvention. He pivots to “Wellness Boxing” classes (taught from a converted garage), dates a footballer’s ex-wife for clout, and reignites a decade-old feud with a legendary OG cast member – culminating in a car park showdown.

3. Denise Van Outen as Voiceover Queen

Van Outen returns with lethal one-liners that cut deeper than stiletto nails. Her narration isn’t just commentary – it’s arsenic dipped in glitter. She eviscerates bad wigs, exposes secret OnlyFans careers, and coins iconic phrases like “Darling, that contour looks like a mudslide.”

Denise’s genius? Recording lines hours after footage wraps for savage real-time burns. Her takedown of a cast member’s “accidental” wardrobe malfunction? Already iconic.
