Yes, that’s right, TOWIE is back and in this guide I’m going to show you how you can watch it from anywhere in the world!

The Only Way is Essex is essentially the original ‘reality TV’ show. It has spurned many copies and launched the careers of countless regular people who just happened to live interesting enough lives that millions of us wanted to view.

However, although TOWIE is hugely popular in the UK it isn’t known so much abroad and so finding a TV channel that shows The Only Way is Essex is near impossible.

However, by using an app called a ‘VPN‘ you can access the ITV service from the UK in any country and watch TOWIE anywhere.

Below I’ll show you how easy it is.

Grab yourself a VPN service

The first thing you’ll need to do is grab yourself a VPN service. A VPN allows you to unblock the ITV Hub website or app outside the UK. If you try to access outside the UK without using a VPN you’ll be blocked.

When using a VPN you can watch TOWIE in America, Australia, Canada, Spain or anywhere else in the world.

There are literally hundreds of companies who offer VPN services but my recommended choice is ExpressVPN. They’re a bit easier to use than the rest and they’ve got a 30-day money back guarantee in case you can’t get it working.

If you want to shop around however then the following 3 are all good for watching TOWIE abroad.

My Top 3 VPN services to watch TOWIE abroad:

1. ExpressVPN – My top choice!
2. IPVanish
3. NordVPN

Once you’ve decided on one of the above just click on their name and sign up for their service.

If you’re outside the UK for some time, such as an expat, backpacker or working abroad then it’s worth signing up for ExpressVPN’s 12-month package. It comes with 3 months totally free making the price 49% cheaper than if you paid monthly.

Now you’ve got yourself a VPN service follow the steps below to watch TOWIE abroad.
