The Essex Girl Stereotype

After the success of The Only Way is Essex on ITV2, the 'Essex Girl' stereotype has become a familiar image in UK society. But how truthful is this image that the likes of Amy Childs, Sam Faiers and Lauren Goodger portray?

Sian Rawson, student at Swansea University, is investigating the Essex Girl stereotype in her final year dissertation and is looking for responses to her attitude survey.

"This attitude survey is designed to explore the stereotype of Essex men and women, and the regional disparities such stereotypes cause.

" All answers will be kept anonymous, and used only for the research of a dissertation at Swansea University."

Thank you for your help and participation. Please follow the link below to take part in this attitude survey.

Success for Mr Murs

Olly Murs must be constantly grinning ear-to-ear at the moment!

Following on from the success of Olly's self-titled debut album and sell-out theatre tour, Olly is practising a new talent in presenting. Olly's mentor from the X Factor, Simon Cowell, recruited Olly to co-host the Xtra Factor on ITV2 with Caroline Flack. After only 3 episodes of the Xtra Factor so far, Olly has received great reviews for his natural presenting ability, as well as for having a great on-air relationship with Caroline.

But it doesn't stop here!...

Last week, Olly was celebrating his 2nd #1 single with 'Heart Skips A Beat', which also features upcoming band, Rizzle Kicks, who have been very popular at festivals this year with BBC Introducing. Olly's first #1 Single came just a year ago with his debut single, Please Don't Let Me Go'. This year, Olly had to fight off stiff competition from Will Young and Calvin Harris to reach the top spot, which he celebrated in style on the Official Chart show with Scott Mills on Radio 1. Olly's X Factor companion Joe McElderry also reached #2 in the album chart with his second album 'Classic'.

Even before Olly has released his yet untitled second album, which is due out on November 28th, tickets for Olly's second tour have nearly sold out! Olly will be taking Album 2 on an arena tour across the country, visiting The O2 Arena and Wembley Arena in London, The LG Arena in Birmingham, Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, MEN Arena in Manchester, as well as many more!

Tickets are becoming very limited so make sure you head to Ticketmaster soon to get your tickets for February and March.

A Lott of #1's for Pixie

Essex girl, Pixie Lott, is on her way to her third UK #1 Single with 'All About Tonight'.

Following the success from her debut album, 'Turn It Up', 'All About Tonight' will be the first single from her second album, still untitled, which is due to be a success in the months leading to Christmas. This album is due for release on November 7th.

Having studied at Brentwood High School after moving to the region when she was 13, Pixie is one of the biggest stars to have come out of Essex over recent years. Music mogul, Simon Cowell, must agree having chosen her to be a guest on his new hit TV show 'Red or Black?'. On Sunday night, Pixie performed the new single and then had to choose from a selection of '4 Pixies', each of whom were wearing a locket containing either red or black butterflies, therefore determining the fate of 4 hopeful millionaires.

All the best of luck to Pixie for this Sunday, when Reggie Yates will announced the Official Chart on Radio 1 from 4pm.
