The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh shows ex Mark Wright what he's missing in sexy photoshoot

She's been single since splitting from The Only Way Is Essex lothario Mark Wright at Christmas.

But it looks like reality TV star Lucy Mecklenburgh won't be single for long as she shows off the assets which attracted him in the first place.

The brunette beauty, 19, has stripped off for a saucy lingerie photoshoot for lad's magazine Zoo.

Despite the end of her short-lived romance with Wright - who is now rumoured to be engaged to his long-term ex Lauren Goodger - Mecklenburgh proved popular with viewers of the ITV2 reality show and returned for the second series on Sunday night.

And it looks like Mecklenburgh has already caught the eye of Wright's friend and protogee Joey Essex, 20, who was seen eyeing her up in the Sugar Hut nightclub in Sunday's episode.

As she posed in lingerie for the new issue of Zoo magazine, the fashion worker admitted she was shocked by Wright, 23, getting together with her old school friend Sam Faiers, 20, so soon after their split.

After splitting from Mecklenburgh and telling Goodger they couldn't be together, Wright was seen kissing Faiers in a taxi during the Christmas special.

Mecklenburgh tells the publication: 'The first I knew about him kissing Sam Faiers was when I saw it on TV. I suppose you could say he fooled me, but then that’s what he does.

'I’m not stupid. We weren’t that serious and, to be honest, I wasn’t particularly shocked to see him hooking up with other women. It’s what being Mark Wright is all about. Although the show does make you do things you wouldn’t normally do.'

But while Mecklenburgh and Faiers are still on good terms, there is still no love lost between her and Goodger, 24.

Throughout series one, Goodger was seen repeatedly being rude to Mecklenburgh, even though she and Wright had split up months earlier.

But Mecklenburgh is determined to keep the upper hand: 'I still detest her, even more so. She continues to s**g me off to everyone.

'I’ll see her out and it’s just like being on the show. She even gets jealous if her friends start talking to me. I just think, "You’re 24. Get over it."'

When asked about what she's got planned for Series 2, Mecklenburgh teases: 'It’s going to be explosive. Episodes are longer, more characters have joined and I’ve definitely got something up my sleeve. I just can’t tell you what it is yet.'

The next episode of The Only Way Is Essex is on ITV2 at 10pm on Wednesday 23 March.
