TOWIE (The Only Way is Essex) characters Joey Essex, Frankie and Chloe have been filming today at Stubbers. We weren’t allowed to grab any exclusive pictures for our blog but look out for them in this Sunday’s (26th February 2012) episode!

The stars took part in Zip Wire, High Ropes and Grass Sledging, so there is sure to be a few giggles, tears and maybe a bit of screaming along the way!

It was great to have them on site and we hope they will come again one day soon for a bit of team building or maybe a bushcraft weekend?? ;)
