The TOWIE cast were out in full force on Thursday when they celebrated James ‘Diags’ Bennewith’s 30th birthday at a Chelmsford funfair, however before long were forced to take shelter beneath umbrellas as the skies opened.
Glamorously-clad cast members including Chloe Sims, Amber Turner and Kelsey Stratford huddled beneath transparent brollies stamped with Diags’ face as heavy downpour interrupted the celebrations.
Trying to keep her cream-hued silk dress pristine, Chloe, 38, lifted up her frock while puffing on a vape as 27-year-old Amber – who donned a psychedelic patterned shirt and matching headscarf – toted an umbrella and Kelsey, 20, balanced her brolly with a glass of bubbly.

The TV personality broke down during an April episode TOWIE when he detailed his brother Jack’s recovery after suffering from a brain aneurysm.
The reality star, whose sibling underwent an eight-hour procedure to save his life, struggled to hold back his tears as he admitted to his close friend Chloe: ‘When you realise you might lose him, it’s proper scary.’
On cherishing the time he has with Jack, the businessman said: ‘I took advantage of spending time with my brother. Can’t take it for granted, it’s family. The worst thing is over, it’s just his recovery now.’

‘And he had like a malformation of blood vessels on his brain.
‘He’s speaking fine now and got his speech back.’
The owner of Plumb Point Essex cried as he recalled looking into Jack’s chance of survival.
Diags added: ‘But obviously, when you’re looking it up and it was a 50-50 chance that he wasn’t gonna make it… it was proper f***ing. I took advantage of spending time with my brother. Can’t take it for granted, it’s family.
‘When you realise you might lose him, it’s proper scary. It’s f***ing amazing, I’m so glad he’s back.’
