The Life on Marbs stars might have told us that they didn't want to be compared to Towie, but there's no way they're going to get away with that.
Marbella, bitching and glamour - it's Towie in the sun, isn't it? The show kicked off tonight by introducing us to the 'Marbie Barbie' Natalie Richardson and a whole raft of other beautiful people enjoying the sun and a bit of backstabbing.
But the big question is whether it can be as good as Towie. The Essex lot have won us over, but will their Marbella counterparts be able to match that? Will Life on Marbs become the biggest show on TV, or will no-one ever hear of it again?

The 12-part series from Lime Pictures - who also brought us The Only Way is Essex - follows "the glamorous lives of some of Marbella's most fabulous residents".
But don't call it the new Towie, implore six out of the twenty-one cast members Danni Levy, Jordan Sargeant, Bally Singh, Natalie Richardson, Cassie Rowan and Felicity Faye Kidd chatting about the show with Digital Spy.
What can we expect from Life on Marbs?
Natalie: You see lots of glamorous events. Lots of champagne, lots of dressing up and the less glamorous side as well - the bitching and backstabbing. Which Felicity is mostly responsible for...
Felicity: I think I get in trouble for spreading lots of rumours, but there have been lots of rumours spread about me. I did upset Natalie in the beginning...
