Move over Mark: Mario Falcone will pose a threat to the current line-up of males as he joins the cast of The Only Way Is Essex

Mario Falcone appears to have taken advantage of the good weather to maximise his airtime on The Only Way Is Essex.

Lucy Mecklenburgh's boyfriend is set to steal Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross and James Argent's thunder as he joins the show for the third series.

Swanning around in his shorts while filming new scenes for the ITV2 programme, Mario left little to the imagination as he bared his toned torso.


Relishing the sunshine: Mario showed off his buff physique, which will rival fitness fanatic Mark Wright, who has been busy flexing his pecs at boot camp in Ibiza

The 23-year-old exuded an air more suited to Made In Chelsea than TOWIE as he showed off his tan while washing his prized possession.

With Mark also a fitness fanatic, most recently flexing his pecs at boot camp in Ibiza, their rivalry is likely to be a 'battle of the bodies'.

However, there is also a more complex web, with Mark having dated Lucy prior to his doomed romance with former fiancée Lauren Goodger.
