TOWIE's Arg draws in huge crowd at Southend's Adventure Island
SEAFRONT theme park Adventure Island also saw its biggest ever crowd this Saturday night.
Visitors also enjoyed a performance from James ‘Arg’ Argent, star of ITV2 show The Only Way is Essex, who took to the stage to perform some of his favourite songs.
Camera crews from the TV show were there to capture the event, which will be included in the next episode, and fellow star Joey Essex joined him on stage.
Arg thanked everyone for staying to watch him in the rain before singing classics including Fly Me to the Moon, Somewhere Beyond the Sea and Come Fly With Me. Joey Essex joined him onstage for a rendition of Justin Bieber’s Boyfriend.
After the gig, the group went to film in Sands Bistro.
Philip Miller, executive chairman of the Stockvale Group which owns Adventure Island, said: "It was fantastic to have Arg down at Adventure Island for the Big Saturday Night - the huge crowd that turned out to welcome him absolutely loved hearing him perform some of his favourite songs. If you missed it - watch out for it on TOWIE! We are really pleased to be able to offer such great free entertainment for all the family on Saturday nights - so come and see us next weekend."

Firstly Phil Miller has done wonders for the town, when the Council gave up he continued to plough money into the town providing FREE entry access to a fantastic fun park.
Secondly you know nothing nerds The 'Only Way is Essex' has not shamed Essex unless you are stupid enough to believe what you want to believe, it has actually put Essex on the map, it has attracted huge amounts of visitors to Brentwood filling hotels, pubs and clubs.
Be it right or wrong, pathetic or Moronic the fact is despite what all you morons want to believe it is actually making money for Essex tourism, making lots of people happy and not harming anyone, so get your heads round it and stop talking us into continuing the Bad News crap.
Well done Phil Miller well done Arg and well done the 1000's that turned up in the rain seeking good news provided free of charge.

Southend is a thriving, vibrant city...town, city-type-thing, I'll call it a city, we're technically a city.
Look, the point is that we need to eschew these loutish pub values that render men into shaven-headed nymphomaniacs and encourage women to become little more than vapid, dimwitted whores.
People like this not only set back our city, they set back the entire country. So why don't you save your condemnation for your booze-sodden, drug dealing friends?

Many of these so called 'exploited' people who you consider 'mentally challenged' are making ten's of thousands off the back of their so called exploitation with several of them already having made a million since appearing on the show...
I'll gladly sign up for that kind of exploitation any day of the week

And only a laughing stock if you do not have the common sense to use a finger to switch over.
And only a laughing stock if you take life so seriously.
And as for making Essex a laughing stock only a person who is a laughing stock would make and believe such a statement to be true.
