Chris Hughes and Mario Falcone enjoy all the fun of the fair on a trip to an amusement arcade
The reality pair clearly enjoyed each other’s company as they rode motorbikes and played basketball
CHRIS Hughes and Mario Falcone had an old-school boys’ day out in Essex yesterday.
The Love Island star and former Towie personality exchanged jokes and banter as they played in an amusement arcade together.
Chris, 24, took on Mario 29, in a motorbike challenge and trounced his rival zooming into fourth place to Mario’s fifth.
They reality starlets paid scant regard to the freezing January temperatures as they both bravely put their ankles on display with trainers and no socks.
And Mario sported a jacket that was covered in rips.
They boys also cutely coordinated with eye-wateringly skinny jeans and baseball caps.
Mario and Chris were all dazzling white smiles as they played on another driving game together.
The day out may have provided a welcome distraction to Mario, whose ex-girlfriend Emma McVey announced the birth of her first child with ex-Geordie Shore star Gary Beadle yesterday.
Emma briefly appeared in Towie as Mario’s love interest.
Mario announced another departure from the reality show last year saying: “I left in October but on amicable terms.”
His last storyline involved a fallout with his friend Lauren Pope over her almost-boyfriend Jon Clark.
Jon’s brother, Chris Clark, is one of seven stars who have been axed from the long-running reality show.
Amber Dowding, Mike Hassini, Jack Rigden, Jordan Brook, Maddie Hooper and Ruby Lacey have also been shown the door.
