TOWIE star Chloe Sims is looking forward to toning up in the New Year, but first she’s got Christmas day to enjoy round cousin Joey Essex’s house.

The 32-year-old is at Boots in Bluewater between 6pm and 8pm tomorrow (Friday, December 13) meeting fans and posing for photos to promote her new Starship tanning range, which includes a one hour tan mousse.

Speaking to Vibe, she said: “It will be massively useful on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, especially in this weather. It’s freezing.

“I look like a milk bottle today, I’m going to put some on myself later.”

Before she makes it to Kent, the mum-of-one has a catch-up planned with her cousin Joey Essex, who has just got out of the I’m a Celebrity jungle.

She said: “I’m seeing him tonight, we’re having a welcome home party. I’m  really excited to see him and see what he’s up to.

“I thought he did wicked. I can’t believe he didn’t win, I really thought he would.

“I really thought he deserved it because he went straight in there and steamed into all the challenges.

“It was unlucky but he did really well and he should be proud of himself. We’re all really proud of him and I can’t wait to see him tonight.

“I can’t believe he did as well as he did to be fair.”

Chloe also had kind words to say about Joey’s budding romance with campmate Amy Willerton.

“I’ve met her before she went in the jungle. We’ve got a mutual friend. She’s seems like a nice girl.

“No complaints.”

Chloe will also be catching up with the Essex family on Christmas day, although a certain someone is not trusted with preparing the dinner.

She said: “We are all having Christmas dinner at Joey’s house. Obviously he’s not doing the cooking, we are. The whole family’s going.

“Then on boxing day I’m going to go away with my family for a break in Spain.

“I’ll be back for New Year’s Eve. I think I’m going to go to 195 in Epping with my family. It’s a really local nightclub.”

As for New Year’s resolutions, Chloe’s are not a million miles away from the rest of us.

She said: “To go to the gym.

“I was doing really well and then I stopped because I went to Vegas and it took me so long to recover that I’ve not got back into it. I’m not happy with myself at the moment.

“So definitely to go back to the gym and get toned up. I’ve let it all go – I’m like jelly.”
