James Lock has driven fans wild after he posted a topless picture to his Instagram as he stood in the sun smouldering by a pool.
The Only Way is Essex cast member cheekily wrote in the caption: “Anyone need a life guard!?” and added a buoys emoji.
Fans took to the comments to swoon over the reality star. One wrote: “I would deffo fake a drowning if I was there” and added a laughing and fire emoji. Another said: “ suddenly can’t swim,” while a third penned: “Love this [fire and heart eyes emoji]”
The 36 year old was rumoured to return to TOWIE this summer for a new series with a source telling The Sun that the show's bosses were “thrilled” about the fact he was coming back.
“James always makes great TV so bosses were thrilled when he agreed to come back for another round.
"He has quite the romantic history so there are plenty of exes that they can bring in to create fireworks, and it will certainly be interesting to see how he and Yaz get on.”
It seemed that they weren’t the only ones who were happy about his return, as he seemed quite proud when he called himself the Phil Mitchell of the Essex reality series.
In an exclusive chat with OK!, James, who has been on TOWIE for a decade, said: "Being on its 30th season is just testament to how good the show is as it's the first of its kind in this country, I think people forget that.
Talking about filming the show, he said: "They don't realise there's a full production team there. There's a full production team as if we were on a set of a soap opera. You've got full coverage, got a full crew there, a full set up."
He called the programme “improvised reality” and said that if something happened while the cameras weren’t rolling, they’d have to “relive” it.
"People don't understand when you 'improvise reality', they don't understand what that means. Basically, say we got into an argument, say we bump into people, or something good happens off camera – we have to relive that so the viewers can see our lives."
"People think it's being fake, that it's set up. It's not set up," he insisted, before adding: "The cameras aren't with us 24/7. So sometimes we have to redo things again for the camera."
