Fourth series of the reality/drama show in which a group of 20-somethings from Essex pursue their dreams, and each other. This series is the first to take place without original cast members Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross and Harry Derbridge. However, there are still plenty of hot-blooded guys and girls patrolling the Essex clubs and bars. Joey, for example, who has recently split from Jess, has his eye on Georgina, a new addition to the show, but she doesn't appear quite as taken by him. Elsewhere, James Argent's attempts to revive his and Lydia's relationship at her 21st birthday party go disastrously wrong and certainly don't sit well with her recent confession that she 'needs more space'...
