Who is Nicole Bass?

Nicole Bass, 25, from Essex, is already a well-known name on the reality scene as she appeared in The Only Way is Essex for season 15 and 16 last year.

Unlike the Geordie Shore cast, Nicole will become only the third person to star on the show after Kirk Norcross and Megan McKenna took part in series 3 and 4.

What is her relationship with Lewis Bloor?

Nicole and fellow Towie co-star Lewis Bloor dated for a number of months back in 2015 but had a rather messy break-up.

The couple got into arguments after Lewis accused Nicole of ignoring his calls and seeing someone else but she insisted she was at a memorial service.

"I have spoken to you and picked up the phone so that's a lie," she explained at the time.

"You text me to go for dinner when I told you I was at my friend's memorial. I'm not going to sit there texting and ringing you from there.

"As for the 'other man, I was with [my ex] for eight years. I'm entitled to be friends with him and still talk to him. I'm allowed to do that."

Lewis reacted badly to the conversation, telling her: "You're a f****** b****. I have never met anyone so disrespectful in my life.

"Everything I have tried to do for you, Nicole. You're scum."

Fortunately for the pair, they were able to put things behind them in series 17 of Towie and become civil.

"I'm glad we are good terms now and sort of let all the s*** that happened last year," explained Nicole.

"It's a new year, a fresh start. Your hair is looking on point and I have a fresh haircut. We are like the short gang."

"I like it," replied Lewis, "it's very natural now."

What is her relationship with Aaron Chalmers?

In October last year, the Sun Online exclusively revealed that the Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers was in a relationship with Nicole.

Aaron, 25, found love with the former Towie star Nicole, 24, while filming the new series of Ex on the Beach.

And Aaron's ex-girlfriend Marnie Simpson (who in a reality love triangle was in a relationship with Lewis Bloor until he cheated on her on Valentine's Day), even told The Sun that Aaron had to call his ex for her approval before taking Nicole on her first date back in London.

Marnie revealed: “Aaron rang me up because he’s dating Lewis’ ex and he wanted to check it was all OK. She’s called Nicole.”

However, it seems the relationship was rather short lived as the Sun Online exclusively revealed in December that Aaron was dating ex-Towie star Lauren Pope.

What type of guy is she looking for?

Nicole explained that her "sort of bloke would be someone that's funny, down to earth, laid back like me and just knows how to have a good time."

Now it has been revealed that Nicole is dating Billi Mucklow's brother, Sam. This year he's starring in TOWIE and girlfriend Nicole is set to appear too.
