FESTIVE sparkle was provided by a Brentwood decorating firm in the TOWIE Christmas Special.

The Essex Christmas Decorators lit up the homes of the ITV2 show's Wright and Bloor families ahead of the hour long episode which aired on Wednesday night.

Lights were draped all over the exterior of the properties along with reindeers and other Christmas decorations. 

Franchise manager Sharon Creates said it was lots of fun working with the TOWIE team.

She said: "We work with all sorts of different corporate and residential projects but we were really excited when we found out we would be visiting the TOWIE set."
