Liam officially joined TOWIE in 2015 as the best friend of Lydia Bright – her mum Debbie is his godmother.
But he’d actually appeared in the trailer for the very first series alongside Mark Wright, Amy Childs and Sam Faiers.
“I was actually on the first ever advert for TOWIE,” he said.
“I got cast for the show but after we filmed the trailer, I decided it wasn’t the right time for me to do it so I pulled out at the last minute.
“I’m a bit older now so can handle it.”
