ONLY Way is Essex cast members shunned their end of season party in South Woodford last night in favour of the opening of love rat Mark Wright’s bar.

The event at Funky Mojoe in High Road, was packed with clubbers expecting to meet the stars of the hit ITV2 show but only Lauren Goodger of Buckhurst Hill showed up.

Candy Jacob and Michael Woods, both of Gants Hill, who were billed as hosts of the night, also failed to make an appearance.

The cast instead chose to party at Deuces Bar and Lounge in Chigwell Road, Woodford Green.

Clubber Tom Cameron of Charteris Road, Woodford Green said: “I was looking forward to meeting them, but only Lauren turned up which was a bit disappointing.”

Earlier this month the opening of Deuces was postponed after it was hit by arsonists.

Ahead of the night Wright tweeted: “Everyone get down to Deuces Bar tonight early!!! Doors open 8pm. Free entry!!! See you all there!!!”

A Christmas special has been confirmed for the reality “docusoap”, which pulled 1.6 million viewers, and a best of show will be aired on December 8.
