I wouldn't even half mind if it wasn't for the fact that she's not even from the real Essex, she lives on the outskirts that borders with London. I only support HMs for their personality anyway and not because of regional pride.

I'm sick to death of hearing about poxy Essex too. It's no more spectacular than any other county in the country. In fact, there are far better counties than Essex. Far better.

Since TOWIE it seems to be seen as some sort of fame and money spinning exercise to play into that stereotype. It's a shame that people think acting like a bimbo is a way to become successful.
