The Only Way Is Essex has enjoyed epic success ever since it hit our television screens back in 2010, and so have the various stars of the show.
From Mark Wright and Amy Childs, to Gemma Collins and Sam Faiers, the ITV reality series has catapulted many Essex locals into the spotlight and seen their careers go from strength to strength.
And while some of the stars have introduced their nearest and dearest to the show, including siblings and parents, some relatives prefer to lay low.
We take a look at the loved ones of some well-known TOWIE stars who you never see…
Chloe Sims' daughter Madison
Chloe Sims, 38, has made no secret of the fact that she has a daughter with her former partner Matthew – but she chose to never feature her on TOWIE.
However, now that her only child is 15 years old, Chloe has made the decision to let viewers see who she is.
Madison made her TV debut earlier this week on the show that made her mum famous, and starred on TOWIE's Christmas special on ITVBe – The Only Way is Essexmas.
It's the first time that Madison has been seen onscreen with her mum since she joined the hit show back in 2011.
Madison was seen in the kitchen with her family, Chloe's sisters Demi, 22, and Frankie, 24, and their mum, Nanny Linda.
Georgia Kousoulou's sister Grace
TOWIE fans first discovered that Georgia Kousoulou had a lookalike younger sister a few years ago.
Grace is the spitting image of her older sibling, except her hair is darker.
However, the ladies do share the shame facial features and even rock the same long curled hairstyles and immaculate makeup.
Grace also seems to have adopted her big sister's chic fashion sense.
On top of that, she's about to become an auntie after 29-year-old Georgia recently confirmed she is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Tommy Mallet.
Sharing a video of the couple's big reveal on her Instagram Story on Thursday, Grace said: "Can't get over this video. Makes me cry every time."
Olivia Attwood's sister Georgia
Former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood also has a lookalike sister named Georgia.
Olivia's sibling dipped her toe in the limelight back in 2017 when she publicly supported her sis while she was on the ITV2 reality show.
Posting a photo of Olivia on Instagram at the time, Georgia said: "Tonight's episode killed me. Proud of my sister saying it how it is and giving the boys a run for their money."
Georgia is an executive search consultant and a part-time model, who has more than 15,000 followers on Instagram.
Olivia recently shared an impassioned post after her sister was admitted to hospital with a potentially fatal ovarian cyst, even though she was turned away from A&E three times.
Olivia uploaded a post by her little sister Georgia where she talks about undergoing emergency surgery after a genealogical examination uncovered a 6cm diameter solid ovarian cyst.
Even though Georgia was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2015, she was brushed off by medical staff multiple times.
Describing her symptoms as “unbearable” and “completely debilitating”, Georgia urged fans and friends not to ignore symptoms and to “normalise the discussion” around women’s health.
Amy Childs' brother Billy
Mum-of-two Amy Childs was part of the original TOWIE cast and recently returned to the ITV show.
But despite being in the limelight for a decade now, her brother Billy hasn't had much exposure.
However, the singer has appeared on Amy's social media in the past – in particular when she shared an adorable throwback snap of them as kids.
While Amy, now 30, is known for her love of heavy makeup and flame red locks, she looked a little different in the image as she was sporting blonde hair and a heavy fringe.
She captioned the image with the words: "Butter wouldn't melt… This is one of the few pictures in my new book 100% Me!"
Billy is said to be close to Amy, and made a brief appearance in her own short-lived reality series, It's All About Amy.
James Lock's sister Kelly and brother George
James Lock, 34, first joined The Only Way Is Essex back in 2013 and has enjoyed his fair share of drama on the show.
But behind it all, James is a family man and is close to his brother George as well as his sister Kelly.
Despite being younger than James, George bears many physical similarities to his older sibling.
And his blonde bombshell sister Kelly often makes an appearance in photos on his Instagram page.
Kelly got married in 2015 in a stunning wedding which took place at a beach club in Turkey.
James posted a photo from the big day, showing him posing in a white suit alongside his sister as she showed off her gorgeous wedding dress.
Megan McKenna’s brother Harry
TOWIE fans were shocked a couple of years ago when Megan McKenna gave them a glimpse of her younger brother Harry.
Taking to Instagram in 2017, Megan introduced her followers to her sibling as she wished him happy birthday.
"Happy birthday to not only my brother but one of my best friends!" the reality star captioned the throwback shot.
"Always had my back and watched out for me! Love you Harry!"
The pair are clearly close to one another and Harry has been known to support his sister when to comes to her singing career.
