Chloe Sims quit life as a Playboy Bunny to join 'The Only Way is Essex'.
The 38-year-old reality TV star was working in the likes of Cannes and St Tropez on the weekends to pay the bills, but before she signed up to 'TOWIE'.
Chloe got drunk when she had a meeting with the show's bosses and later forgot about potentially being a part of the programme, until she saw all the coverage of the series in magazines.
She said: "I had my meeting with them ['TOWIE' bosses] and it went well, I’d had a few glasses of wine so I was drunk and a bit loose lipped and they said, 'Right, can you send us a weekly blog of what you get up to, any dates, anything funny, anything goes wrong, just send it to us.'
"I’d kind of forgotten about that and was loving my life as a Playboy Bunny.
"I was rocking on in like Cannes and St Tropez, places I couldn’t afford to be! It was amazing.
"I was in Luton Airport, and all of the magazines were full of 'TOWIE', and I thought, 'F***, what have I done?' "
Following the first series, 'TOWIE' bosses got in touch with Chloe about being a part of the second season, and she has been on the programme ever since 2011.
Speaking on YouTube series 'TOWIE: The Story Of…', she added: "One day I got a phone call and they said 'TOWIE' was trying to get hold of me, and asked if they could forward on my number.
"I said yeah and was hoping that maybe they wanted to bring me on, and it was, they were contacting everyone that didn’t take the part in the first series and asked me if I was interested.
"I said, 'Hell yes.' "
