Gonna miss you: Joey Essex plants a smacker on his girlfriend's Sam Faiers's lips outside her Essex home before she flew out to Los Angeles yesterday


She's more used to the bright lights of Brentwood on her reality show - but The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers is getting a taste of a real celebrity lifestyle on a holiday in Los Angeles.

The 20-year-old landed at the city's LAX yesterday after bidding a fond farewell to her boyfriend and TOWIE co-star Joey Essex.

Sam however has something to remind her of her loved one - she's flown out to the City Of Angels with Joey's sister Frankie.


The boutique owner was clearly over excited about her flight out to California.

She wrote‎: 'On plane with @FrankieEssex here we come hollywood!! LA baby! Business class seats... Heaven! Were both so excited! X'

But it will be a wrench for Sam to be away from her beloved.

Love you baby: The TOWIE pair gave each other a hug almost as tight as Joey's trousers before Sam headed to the airport


The pair are so smitten, they sparked engagement rumours earlier this month when Sam was spotted wearing a diamond solitaire on her ring finger.

But while the jewel is thought to be a 'promise ring', Sam and Joey are still refusing to comment on the reports.

The pair are clearly going to miss each other, and had a massive night out on Wednesday as a holiday send off.

All loaded up: Sam realises there's no room in the boot for her huge sunhat so she's going to have to wear it


Sensibly, it wasn't the night before so Sam wasn't too hungover for her flight.

Joey had work to do anyway - on Thursday, he made a personal appearance in Belfast at the city's The Box nightclub.

The 19-year-old posed for photos with adoring fans clearly couldn’t wait to get back home for a cuppa with Sam.

Yesterday morning he tweeted: 'Yoyo. Landdeddddd. Now strait from airport to sams!! C u sooon! Mmmm cup of tea hahaha.'

LA, baby! Sam arrived looking fresh at Los Angeles LAX airport after flying in business class

So excited: Sam has flown out to LA for a break with her boyfriend Joe's sister Frankie

California babes: Sam was wearing a hippy chic patterned maxi dress, crochet cardigan and a pink bag, while Frankie was wearing a print skirt with a black top and leather jacket


On Wednesday night, Sam and Joey demonstrated their passion for each by starting canoodling as soon as they jumped into a cab home, despite it only being a 50 minute journey.

The affectionate pair put on quite a show for the cameras as they headed home after the Vista at the Trafalgar charity event.

Clearly deciding she wanted to be closer to her man, Sam began her journey home perched precariously on Joey's lap, who looked more than happy to keep a tight grip on his gorgeous girlfriend.

Get a room! Sam Faiers and Joey Essex cuddled up in the back of a taxi as they head home from the Vista at the Trafalgar event


However, the pair's public display of affection may have been slightly inappropriate given that Sam's best friend Harry Derbidge was also in the cab heading back to their home county.

Earlier in the evening, the pair had posed on the red carpet with Harry at the event in aid of cancer research, held at the Vista at The Trafalgar rooftop bar.

And while Joey stuck to his Grease-inspired look in tight-fitting jeans and and leather jacket, Sam looked cute in her summer-chic outfit of a pretty dress and jacket, both from her Brentwood clothes shop Minnie's Boutique.

But what about me? Harry Derbidge was also in the taxi as Joey and Sam puckered up


After the event, Sam wrote on her Twitter page: 'Wicked night last night!!

'At a shoot with Joey! And LA 2morrow with @FrankieEssex ahhh! 2excited!!!!!'

After that bash, Sam, Joey and Harry headed over to Alto's nightclub where they continued their evening of fun and caught up with members of another reality show - Geordie Shore.

TOWIE however will be back on our screens in September, and is said to start filming again in August.

Colour coordination: Sam Faiers enjoyed dinner with her boyfriend Joey Essex and friends last night as stepped out in an orange dress which matched her tan


It can be tricky business trying to create the perfect fake tan colour and there is a fine line between flaunting sunkissed skin and looking like you’ve been tangoed.

So when The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers decided to wear a bright orange dress to dinner last night it appeared she had matched her outfit to her skin tone.

The boutique owner, 20, arrived with her boyfriend Joey Essex at Alex’s Restaurant in Brentwood and her deep tan was just as bright as her kaftan-style dress.


Sam teamed her outfit with a pretty patterned clutch and a pair of brown strappy wedges.

Meanwhile boyfriend and promoter Joey opted for a retro look of drainpipe stonewash jeans his favourite brown belt a long-sleeved white Abercrombie and Fitch T-shirt and a camal jacket.

The couple dined with Sam’s sister Billie and her boyfriend as well as a number of friends.

Say cheese: Sam and Joey posed for pictures outside Alec's restaurant in Essex before enjoying a meal with friends


While on screen their affections have been limited to a few pecks on the lips Sam and Joey were seen canoodling together at the dinner table.

At one point Sam stroked his face and later he stroked her lip, perhaps adjusting her orange lip gloss as she hung her arm around the nape of his neck.

Helping hand: Joey adjusted Sam's lipgloss and the pair looked extremely close during dinner


A happy love life isn’t the only thing that Sam has to smile about at the moment she and Billie have found their boutique has been a hit with fans of the reality TV show.

When Brentwood boutique Minnies opened to the public earlier this month, hoards of young girls and their mothers queued patiently to catch of glimpse of the goods on offer at the store.

Tender touch: Sam stroked Joeys face part-way through dinner


During their store launch, the sisters told the MailOnline that they’d love to dress Kate Middleton.

The sisters also named Gossip Girl Blake Liveley and fellow reality stars the Kardashian sisters as their ideal celebrity clients.

But their dream A-lister is Kate, and said: ‘She always looks lovely, but she’s always very smartly dressed. We’d love to see her in one of our dresses.’
