Reality TV heaven! TOWIE crew befriend Made In Chelsea cast at London Bar and Club Awards

Made in Essex? TOWIE's Lydia Bright and Nicola Goodger went out with Made In Chelsea's Gabriella Ellis last night

It was a night made in reality TV heaven when the cast of The Only Way Is Essex teamed up with Made In Chelsea at the London Bar And Club Awards.

And it was a night of glitz and glamour at London’s Intercontinental Hotel as the girls put on their best party frocks and sky high heels for last night’s event.

TOWIE’s Lydia Bright appeared to have befriended Chelsea’s Gabriella Ellis, while James ‘Arg’ Argent traded in best pal Mark Wright for posh Ollie Locke.

Lydia and Nicola Goodger both strolled into the hotel in nude peep-toe heels and gold embroidered dresses alongside Gabriella.

Miss Ellis looked striking in a gold French Connection dress, that Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent wore to her birthday party last week.

Gabriella’s ex-boyfriend Ollie, who last week declared on his reality TV show that he is bi-sexual, wore his trademark Union Jack blazer as he stood arm in arm with Arg.

And heartthrob Ollie picked up the award for Sexiest Host at the party.

On/off couple Lydia and Arg appeared to be back on as they looked very cosy walking down the street with Chelsea’s Cheska.

Lauren Goodger, 24, looked pretty in pink as she arrived with her stylist Sade Ibrahim, who opted for a racy black mini dress.

Lydia, 20, had gone to the awards straight from Tom Hanks’ film premiere Larry Cowne in central London.

She was joined on the red carpet by the Oscar-winner as well as UK celebrities Kerry Katona, Nicola McLean and her co-stars Sam Faiers and Joey Essex.

Also at the London Bar and Club Awards last night was Sarah Harding and her fiancé Tom Crane.

Crane won an award for being the Best DJ and the Girls Aloud star couldn’t contain her excitement as she jumped up and down with glee.

The singer and actress showed off her figure in a yellow and brown mini dress and was very friendly to the TOWIE crowd too and gave Arg a big hug.

Sarah has tried a stint in acting during Girls Aloud’s hiatus but the band is rumoured to be coming back next year, which would be their ten year anniversary.
