Lucy Mecklenburgh will spend Christmas with her female friends from The Only Way Is Essex.

Despite announcing she will be leaving the ITV2 show following the Christmas special, the 22-year-old beauty plans to make the most of the festive period with her former co-stars.

The reality TV star - who decided to leave the show after becoming frustrated with how she was portrayed by series bosses - has remained in close contact with her cast mates and will be attending a fancy dress party at her pal Sam Faiers' house for New Year's Eve.

Speaking at the Lydia Rose Bright and Lipstick Boutique SS14 preview event, Lucy exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We have wrap parties after the series, so yeah I'm sure we'll all see each other. I'll probably go out with the girls on Christmas Eve."

She added: "I'm going to a Disney themed party at Sam Faiers house. I'm going as Pocahontas, but I don't have my costume yet."

Also attending the big bash is former show regular and mother of Lydia Bright, Debbie Douglas, who will be dressing up as villainous Cruella DeVil for the occasion.

The stylish pair also offered their opinions on the 'TOWIE' cast's Christmas wardrobe - in particular James 'Arg' Argent's choice of festive jumper.

Lucy said: "In the Christmas special, Arg wears the same Christmas jumper he's worn for the last three Christmas specials! It's gone bobbly!"

Debbie added: "We do get him a new one but he can never find it because everything is just chucked everywhere. He'll pick up the first thing he can find. I might knit him one actually!"

The Lydia Rose Bright SS14 collection launches at Lipstick Boutique in January 2014.
