The Only Way Is Essex stars and their mega-mansions from Joey Essex to Mark Wright

The Only Way Is Essex has been responsible for the success of endless stars including Joey Essex and Gemma Collins.

The reality stars went from television to building their own empires, from presenting jobs to their own clothing brands.

With all that money, buying a mega-mansion complete with swimming pools and gyms isn't a problem.

Mark Wright, who is married to Brassic star Michelle Keegan, has been busy renovating his £1.3 million Essex home for the last two years.

Billie Faiers and her husband Greg have also been making changes to their home, which costs a whopping £1.5 million.

Which other TOWIE stars have shared glimpses of their stunning homes?

The couple bought the luxury mansion for £1.3 million in October 2019 and had been renovating it ever since.

It has also been reported that the knocking down and reconstruction of the entire property have cost them around £3.5 million.

The couple created a home renovation Instagram account in order to update fans with all the changes.

Mark and Michelle have yet to move into the property as they still have the final bits to complete.

The TV presenter had previously said that the driveway was the "last thing to do," which was recently completed.

The five-bedroom home is set to have a bar, gym, granny annexe and outdoor pool.

Billie and her husband Greg purchased a £1.5 million home in Brentwood and have been doing it up since January.

The property consists of four bedrooms, but the family won't be able to move in until later this year due to delays in development.

Parts of the renovation can be seen on their show ITVBe show, The Family Diaries.

At the end of April, the 32-year-old cried on the show after suffering problems with her ongoing home renovations.

Greg had taken landscaping in the garden into his own hands - but Billie was less than impressed.

She shook her head at her husband and asked: "Why can't we just have a brick wall done?" to which he responded "But why have you said that now?"

The reality star was said to be at war with her neighbours - a report she denied.

They have even added a new garden feature for extra privacy and to prevent people from seeing inside their space.

Gemma Collins

The TOWIE queen Gemma Collins brought her dream home and transformed it into the 'GC Palace'.

She purchased the Barn countryside home, which has five bedrooms, for £1.35 million.

It has a pool, plush furnishings and a luxury garden which wouldn't look out of place in a glossy magazine.

The Essex home has been lovingly designed by the TOWIE favourite, who has filled her pad with 'pink fabulousness', including a life-sized horse called Talulah.

She said: "So we have nearly completed the work on my summer house and it's coming together. I am getting my little bits and pieces up and just seeing it being done from start to finish is just life-changing."

Gemma's 'forever home' also comes complete with a pink panic room.

The luxury home, which was converted from a barn and has five bedrooms, four ensuite bathrooms and an acre of land, also features a state-of-the-art kitchen and swimming pool.

Gemma said: “It’s kind of like a shrine to me this house, I don't know if that's normal or not, but everywhere you go you just know it's my house."

Joey Essex

Joey Essex is proud of his home in Essex and has let multiple TV shows film inside his house, including MTV Cribs and Through The Keyhole.

The star has a gigantic luxury hotel-style garden, complete with a swimming pool and gorgeous decorations.

From the outside, you would never imagine the home owner would have a backyard that extravagant. The front has timber detailing and black windows and doors.

Joey even has three dressing rooms, and two bedrooms that he has shown publicly.

The inside of his home is super modern, with one of the rooms being completely white, from the walls to the couches.
