She was spotted heading to the pool at the weekend looking as though she'd spent the entire morning getting ready for the sunbathing session.
So it was refreshing to see Sam Faiers looking rather more relaxed yesterday as she enjoyed a little downtime with her on-off beau Joey Essex at their Marbella resort.
The couple looked perfectly at ease with one another, at one point nipping off to grab a bite to eat without their TOWIE castmates.
In their natural state: Sam Faiers and Joey Essex were looking relaxed by the pool at their Marbella resort yesterday
Filming taking its toll? Both looked a little tired, but glad to chill out in each others' company
Sam didn't bother to wear make-up, and covered her bikini-clad frame in a comfy t-shirt now and then when the sun became too much.
She did get up to stretch her legs and show off her tanned figure at one point however, looking far more relaxed in flip flops than she had done in heels over the weekend.
Joey looked a little restless on the sun lounger, shifting around from time to time, but ever attentive when Sam leaned over to share a quiet word.
Tender moment: Sam used her boyfriend's chest as a pillow as they drifted off together
A little help? Sam used an unconcerned Joey as a support to sit up
He was briefly distracted when a couple of young female fans came over to have a chat, but quickly resumed his prone position once they had left.
Sam was clearly quite happy to sit back and take a break from her usual role of Essex glamour queen.
Over the weekend the blonde boutique owner was spotted filming scenes for the Only Way Is Essex looking more her usual self, wearing a slashed to the navel black swimsuit.
Laid-back look: Sam didn't bother with make-up, and covered up with a loose top when the sun got too much
Ready to take a dip? Sam appeared to be contemplating a swim, while Joey hardly seemed able to move
Getting fidgety: Joey seemed to have trouble finding a comfortable position
She accessorised with a huge, gold neck piece, featuring a large circle in the middle which hung off the main plate and nestling between her breasts, drawing attention.
Sam wisely protected her face from the sun’s rays at Sisu Club and Hotel in Puerto Banus, pairing her skimpy outfit with a giant black and white striped hat and large sunglasses.
A crocheted waistcoat and sky high clogs which elongated her legs completed the look.
Bit of a distraction? Joey looked a little weary as he sat up to greet a couple of young female fans
Ready to make a move? Both looked as though they were feeling the effects of the last few days in Marbs
Blending in with the crowd: Sam was sporting none of her usual TOWIE bling, with unstyled hair and no jewelry
The overall look was significantly more high-maintenance than her low-key poolside look yesterday.
But Sam's more casual appearance clearly wasn't an issue for Joey, who was undeterred in his attentions.
The pair made a touching display of their affections during the final episode of season five last week when Joey penned a heartfelt love letter to Sam.
Time to head for the shade: Even the sun-loving pair needed a break at one point
Joey made Sam laugh as he reminded her of memories they share from when they initially got together, and displayed his childlike handwriting.
His closing words were: 'I love you and you're the love of my life.'
Joey's gesture appeared to make up for the distress he caused when he was photographed getting into a cab with another girl.
Grabbed a bite: The enamored pair went to get some food without their TOWIE castmates
What a difference some slap makes: Joey and a made-up Sam out last Thursday
Dressed to the nines: Sam's look was much more high-maintenance on Sunday

Shoppers spooked by supermarket 'ghost' - Belfast Telegraph
Tuesday, 5 June 2012
Shoppers thought that things were a Lidl weird - when they saw their trolleys whizzing off on their own in a shop.
The scared punters thought the store in Gort, Galway, was haunted when trolleys laden with their wares seemed to roll away of their own accord, sparking fears of a ghostly store spectre.
"You could be getting something off a shelf and when you turned around your trolley was gone down the aisle," said one spooked shopper. But the problem was more of an earthly nature.
The Gort Ghost was just a sinking floor which caused the trolleys to appear possessed. The store is now closed while the problem is fixed.
A spokesman for the chain said: "Lidl would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Sussex schoolgirl puts Olympic Velodrome through its paces - Chichester Observer
BARNHAM schoolgirl Megan Lewis has returned from a successful experience which saw her selected to represent the south east at the Sainsbury’s UK 2012 School Games.
Lewis, 14, attends St Philip Howard Catholic High School and trains with Reading-based Palmer Park Velo Cycling Club.
The games were a multi-sport event for the UK’s elite young athletes and were held in the Olympic Park.
The competition aimed to mirror the Olympic and Paralympic Games, complete with opening and closing ceremonies, featuring around 1,800 of the nation’s finest young sports stars.
Lewis, who lives in Rustington, competed in three days of tough competition – two at Redbridge Cycling Centre and one at the Olympic Velodrome and the south east team picked up two gold medals and several other high places. On day one in the crit eliminator, the riders raced over a four-lap 500m course with tight technical bends and a steep climb and bend towards the finish line.
There was also a 40k race, in which Lewis started well but was then plagued by punctures and mechanical problems.
The next day, the south east team set the early pace in the team time trial, before finishing in fifth place.
Lewis was in action at the Olympic Velodrome the next day and a polished performance saw her finish runner-up in the minor final.
She then teamed up with 15-year-old Abigail van Twisk and the pair finished fifth.
She is now looking forward to the road and track season and is hoping to represent the south east at the inter-regional track competition in September.
Also ahead is the chance to ride in the Revolutions Series at the Manchester Velodrome.

Sussex County facing 'dramatic shortage' of physicians - Delaware Wave
MILLSBORO -- Marya Grier moved to Millsboro from New Jersey in November, and one of her top priorities was to find a primary care physician.
Although Grier, 70 and on Medicare, is on medication and needs to be monitored by a doctor regularly, she's been struggling to find care. One doctor cut back on his practice and another said it would be a six-month wait for an appointment.
For now, she's continuing to make the three-hour trek to see her doctor in New Jersey.
"It's kind of upsetting in a way," she said. "I'm certainly not in any dire straits, but if I had any issues with the medication, who would I go to? My only option is to go to Jersey, but that's a day trip and that's expensive."
Sussex County is considered a medically underserved area by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
According to the University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's County Health Rankings, Sussex County has 157 primary care physicians and a population to primary care physician ratio of 1,208-to-1. The same figure in New Castle County is 806-to-1, while the national benchmark that has been set is at 631-to-1.
"In a perfect world, we would have at least one doctor to every 630 patients," said Megan Williams, director of Population Health at Beebe Medical Center. "The idea there is that if we had a provider for every 630 patients, (the provider) would have ample time, knowledge and resources to provide robust primary care for their patients."
Williams said one reason the county has "a pretty dramatic shortage of primary care providers in the area" is its rural setting.
"We don't necessarily have medical education or a medical school here in Delaware, or certainly close to Sussex County," she said. "By virtue of that, we don't have folks who are doing a lot of their training and education here. Right out of the gate, that puts us at a disadvantage."
Kelly Griffin, director of marketing and communications at Beebe, said the wait for a someone who uses the center's physician referral line to seek primary care is usually two to three months. More than 200 local physicians who are affiliated with Beebe and deal with family practice and internal medicine are on the list.
"Often we can help, but it depends on whether they want to travel a little bit further," she said.
Beebe actively recruits for additional primary care physicians. Marilyn Hill, director of physician services, said there are fewer people who aspire for physician positions, for a number of reasons, including the high costs to get to that point.
"It's difficult to entice people to go into it," she said. "It's very expensive to go through medical school, residency and fellowship training. You have to have a passion for it and want to do it for the right reasons."
Hill said when she recruits, she tries to promote the workplace community and the local community and focuses on the positives.
Grier said she believes the wait is so long because many local doctors are retiring and no one is taking their place.
Sussex County Administrator Todd Lawson said while there are no marketing plans at this time to bring more physicians into Sussex County, discussions with Beebe and Nanticoke Health Services have taken place with that in mind.
"We all recognize the fact that health care and our health care industry locally is being stretched right now with our population shifts, so we need to plan for that," he said.
Lawson said despite having the beach and the infrastructure, as well as being two hours away from three metropolitan areas, the county is having issues attracting the talent.
"Getting those young professionals in here is a challenge," he said. "We've had many discussions on how to combat that. I don't have an answer that we have a plan in place, but we recognize the issue."
As for Grier, she is still undecided about what she will do.
"I'm sort of hanging on the edge as to what I'm going to do next," she said.

Bopara returns with a hundred to help Essex beat Gloucestershire - Bristol Evening Post
Ravi Bopara confirmed his recovery from a leg injury with a brilliant 120 not out as Essex easily reached their target of 225 to beat Gloucestershire by eight wickets in their match at Chelmsford and claim their first Clydesdale Bank 40 Group A victory of the season.
Bopara's injury had ruled him out for three weeks, but he was soon showing that his lay-off had not affected him. From the moment he walked out to open the innings, he took charge with a succession of superbly timed drives, and with Tom Westley striking the ball equally well at the other end, it soon became clear that Gloucestershire's total of 224-5 was not nearly enough.

Gloucestershire's Kane Williamson against Lancashire in Cheltenham on Sunday
The pair had come together after Mark Pettini's departure in the first over, when he was caught at slip off Ian Saxelby without a run on the board, and went on to put together a partnership of 185.
That was broken when Westley's enterprising knock of 82 from 99 balls, nine of which he dispatched to the boundary, ended as he was stumped off Will Gidman.
But Bopara, who raised his 50 with a straight driven six against left-arm spinner Ed Young, went on to complete his century from 91 deliveries, with two sixes and eight fours, and he was to add another four boundaries as Essex secured victory with 19 balls to spare.
Like Essex, the visitors had also seen their openers separated in the first over when Graham Napier breached the defences of Will Gidman, a dismissal that was to put them firmly on the back foot.
It was not until the 14th over that the 50 was raised, before which Hamish Marshall was beaten for pace and bowled by Tymal Mills. So pedestrian was Gloucestershire's progress that they needed 27 overs to send the total into three figures. But then Kane Williamson and Ian Cockbain were to inject much-needed life into the innings with a fifth-wicket partnership of 85 in 11 overs.
It ended when Williamson was caught behind by James Foster off David Masters for 77, which came from 73 deliveries and contained seven fours and a six.
Cockbain and Jack Taylor maintained the tempo over the remaining four overs, Cockbain finishing unbeaten on 52 from 44 balls with a six among his four boundaries.
Taylor's unbeaten 22 came off a dozen deliveries and ensured a respectable, if not demanding total.

Sussex Police count the cost of a weekend of protests in Brighton and Hove - The Argus.co.uk
Sussex Police count the cost of a weekend of protests in Brighton and Hove
2:30pm Tuesday 5th June 2012 in News By Ben Parsons, Crime Reporter
Police are counting the cost of one of their biggest ever weekends.
An operation to escort a march by anti-arms protesters yesterday (June 4) followed what was believed to be the single biggest deployment of officers in recent memory on Saturday, June 2.
Sussex Police refused to be drawn on exact figures but the bill for similar events in the past indicate the costs of the two operations could easily reach half a million pounds.
About 100 officers were sent onto the street, yesterday to police a Smash EDO demonstration in Brighton while more were held in reserve.
Officers from Hampshire and Surrey were brought to the city to support the operation, as well as police horses supplied from outside Sussex.
On Saturday officers from forces as far away as Warwickshire were brought to Brighton in case of large-scale trouble.
Very often police resources deter people from doing things. I’m not saying that’s the case here – we don’t know what we’ve deterred
Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett
Police had feared hundreds of supporters of the far-right English Defence League would come to the city and clash with anti-fascist protesters.
An anti-Jubilee street party by Brighton Uncut also raised the prospect of difficulties, following lengthy stand-offs at previous events which involved the invasion of shops.
Split groups
In the end officers said about 100 nationalists were out and about in Brighton and Hove.
They did not form a single group, but about 70 anti-fascist activists challenged them on the streets.
A total of 18 people were arrested. A group of about 30 were eventually escorted to Brighton Station to leave the city.
Sussex Police said it stood down some officers on both days when it became clear there were fewer people to deal with than they had planned for.
On Saturday onlookers, Unite Against Fascism and nationalists alike criticised the police for putting so many officers on the street.
Senior officers said they did not know the total cost of the demonstrations yesterday.
Costly operation
The force denied claims that 800 officers were involved on Saturday but said the operation was likely to have been the biggest in recent memory.
In 2010 putting 200 officers on the street because of a Brighton Uncut protest at Top Shop was said have cost the force a “six figure” sum.
A Smash EDO march on May Day 2009, which included officers being sent in support from forces elsewhere in the country, cost £560,000 once Bank Holiday overtime payments were claimed.
Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett praised event organisers and protesters for working with police.
He said: “We have had an incredibly busy weekend.
“That has meant there has been very little disruption in the city.
“The resources for big events are based on very careful threat assessments and understanding of what’s required to keep people safe.
“Very often police resources deter people from doing things. I’m not saying that’s the case here – we don’t know what we’ve deterred.
“What was anticipated was needed was what was put out on both days.
“As soon as that assessment changed resources were stood down and people went off duty when they were no longer needed.”
