Jess Wright and her family went all out on Sunday when they threw an epic bash in the name of the Euros 2020 final, installing an inflatable pub, an enormous slide and even a pop-up cinema screen to watch England take on Italy.
Jess, 35, was joined by close friend and TOWIE star James Argent in Essex over the weekend, with James, 33, showing off his impressive 5.5 stone weight loss in a retro England shirt while whizzing down the gigantic blue and red slide with his arms in the air.
The duo – who cosied up for one sweet snap – were joined by the likes of Jess’ fiancé William Lee-Kemp, mum Carol and sister Natalya.

He said: ‘That is my responsibility. I chose the guys to take the kicks. I told the players that nobody is on their own in that situation. We win and lose together as a team. They have been tight throughout and that’s how it needs to stay.
‘It is my decision to give (Saka) that penalty. That is totally my responsibility. It is not him or Marcus or Jadon. We worked through them in training.
‘That is the order we came to. Marcus and Jadon have been by far the best in the lead-in. It was a gamble (to bring them on), but if we gamble earlier we maybe lose the game in extra time.’
