But who won't be returning to TOWIE, are there any new cast members and which familiar faces are sticking around? Here's all you need to know.
When does the new series of TOWIE start?
TOWIE has been going since 2010 and the 24th series is about to begin.
But the official start date hasn't yet been confirmed, though it's expected to be later this month.
Series 23, which began this time last year, started on March 25 and if the new series airs on Sunday nights it's likely to begin on March 24 or March 31.
Which members of the TOWIE cast have been axed?
Every year, the cast of TOWIE undergoes a shake-up and not everyone returns for the next series.
Ten TOWIE stars won't be returning for series 24.
Popular characters including James Locke, Myles Barnett and Jon Clark have been shown the door in the ITVBe show’s biggest ever cull.
Jon's brother Chris, Kady McDermott, Dean Ralph, Jordan Wright, Yazmin Oukhellouand brother Adam were also given the boot after failing to impress producers who want to make room for new faces.
Chloe Lewis has mutually agreed with producers that she won’t be returning as a full time cast member.
Amber Turner quit after refusing to film scenes with her ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar.
The dramatic axing came as a shock to many who have been in the show as far back as 2015.
Who are the new TOWIE cast members?
The latest Essex girl to join the TOWIE cast is Chloe Ross.
Beauty therapist Chloe has jetted off to Thailand to film with the cast including Pete Wicks, Bobby Norris and close pals Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet.
She revealed to The Sun that she is already eyeing up a romance with Sam Mucklow and Dan Edgar.
Chloe is the only new cast member to have been confirmed, but sources have revealed that TOWIE's old guard have reacted with horror after bosses revealed they are bringing in a new wave of "super hot" 18-year-olds.
A source explained that the newbies have even started filming, but are being kept separate from the regulars – who are "desperate" to find out who they are.
Which members of the TOWIE cast are returning?
Apart from the ten stars who have been axed from TOWIE, it appears all the usual cast members are back.
Georgia Kousoulou and boyfriend Tommy Mallet, Chloe Sims, Bobby Norris, Gatsby and Sam Mucklow are all expected to return.
The cast are currently filming a special TOWIE episode in Thailand.
