ITV launching The Only Way is Essex vodcast
April 29, 2026
You Alright, Hun?, the official Vodcast of The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE), launches on April 30th.
Hosted by Essex royalty Denise Van Outen, who has lent her iconic voice to TOWIE for over a decade, the weekly series will interview iconic personalities from the world of TOWIE, as well as celebrity super fans of the show.
Now in its 16th year and 37th season, the show’s unique appeal has seen the show achieve 62 million streams on ITVX in the last year alone.
Produced by Spirit Studios, the 10 week vodcast will be available every Thursday from 7am on ITVX and later that day on YouTube. An audio podcast will also be available across Spotify, Apple or wherever listeners get their podcasts.
TOWIE (produced by Objective Entertainment, part of Objective Media Group, an All3Media Company) continues to launch new episodes every Sunday and Monday on ITVX and ITV2.
In episode one Van Outen will interview OGs of Essex Amy Childs and Harry Derbridge, as they reflect on the show’s impact on their lives and pop culture.
Amanda Stavri, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment and Reality at ITV, commented “TOWIE has spawned some of the biggest reality stars and moments of the past 15 plus years and the drama and glamour of Essex continues to dominate the social media landscape. You Alright, Hun? will offer up the latest behind the scenes gossip and revelation, as well as a filter-free take on life through a TOWIE lens and it’s an honour to have the icon of Essex Denise Van Outen at the helm.”
Van Outen said: “For obvious reasons Essex has always held a very special place in my heart and having been a consistent part of TOWIE for 16 years now, the opportunity to host the show’s first ever vodcast is a genuine joy. Much like TOWIE itself, expect gossip spilled, secrets shared and a whole lot of drama…”
Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Creative Director Current Programmes, Objective Entertainment, added “We cannot wait for You Alright, hun? to bring old and new TOWIE fans an unfiltered perspective on the lives, relationships and personalities that audiences have come to love. With Denise’s wit, warmth and connection this promises to boldly capture the spirit of TOWIE, and bring you closer than ever to the heart of Essex.”
