Mario Falcone has admitted that he will "probably" return to The Only Way Is Essex for its upcoming 10th anniversary.

The 32-year-old is one of the reality show's most memorable stars, having appeared in 17 series before departing in 2018.

As part of TOWIE's celebration of a decade on the air, a number of former cast members are returning for the super-sized new series and a special "reunion" episode airing in October.

Asked if he would be back, Falcone told FUBAR Radio: "The conversation's been had. Obviously, look, I love TOWIE. It was a big part of my life.

"I was there from right at the beginning, so the conversation has been had about being part of the 10-year anniversary. That's all I can say really, the conversation's been had.

"I think you probably will see me on there!"

Other returnees include Joey Essex, Jess Wright and Amy Childs.
