Since The Only Way Is Essex gang rocked into Marbella a few days ago, the deep tans, bikinis, and towering heels have been on full show.

But some of the main cast of the reality TV show have kept a fairly low profile - until now.

Boutique owner Sam Faiers and beauty therapist Amy Childs made their Spanish debut on Tuesday night as they put on their gladrags and hit the bars and clubs in the resort.


Girls' night out: The Only Way Is Essex's Sam Faiers and Amy Childs are seen for the first time in Marbella as they headed out for a drink and a dance

Joined by a couple of girlfriends, the pair were snapped walking through the main street of the town before stopping to have a drink and a dance.

And they looked as though they were still on Cloud Nine after their Bafta win on Sunday as they let their hair down and played up to the cameras.

At one point, the ladies posed for a picture as they lifted Amy in the air across them, almost revealing a little too much under her short white dress.

Unlike their friends and castmates Mark Wright, James Argent, Lydia Bright and Lucy Mecklenburgh,  we've not seen the girls since they arrived in Marbella early on Monday morning.

Sam told the Mail Online that she and Amy had a mad panic to change their flights as they had originally booked to fly out on the Sunday - the day of the Baftas.

She said: 'We wasn't sure if we were going to be invited and wasn't sure of the dates and me and Amy had booked our flights to Marbella on the Sunday.

'And then when we got our invites through, I said, "right, we've got to change it", so I was on the case, and we flew to Marbella first thing on the Monday, so I knew I couldn't get too drunk on Sunday!'

Meanwhile in another bar in town, it was a boys' night out for James Argent and Mark Wright as they joined some friends for a party.

At one stage, Arg was seen up on a podium having his T-shirt ripped off as his best mate looked on laughing his head off.

And the boys had certainly made the most of the hot climes as they sported deep tans after a day lounging by the pool at the Budhha Beach bar.

The Essex gang - which also includes Joey Essex and Mark's good friend Jack Tweed - are in Marbella for the week and plan to party every night.

Club promoter Wright - whose fiancée Lauren Goodger is back home in Essex, is expected at Pangea tonight, Tibu on Thursday, a pool party at the Sisu Hotel & Spa and Pangea again on Friday and hosting his Love Juice night at Buddha Beach on Saturday.

Meanwhile, rival club promoter Joey Essex will be hosting one of his 'Reem' parties at Buddha Beach Club on Thursday.

Back in England Lauren Goodger was working hard promoting her new tanning products line on This Morning.

The reality star appeared with several buff half-naked men to demonstrate her product.

Lauren was supposed to be jetting off on her own vacation to Tenerife, but has been stuck in London due to the ash cloud.
