Sam Faiers has reportedly agreed to return to The Only Way Is Essex for the upcoming reunion special.

The 10th anniversary series of the ITVBe reality show will begin this Sunday with a special episode, Towie Turns 10: All Back to Essex, which will see some of the show's most memorable former stars from the last decade return for a Spanish-themed garden party.

Despite having previously said that she would not be returning, The Sun says that Faiers will be part of the episode alongside the likes of Amy Childs, Joey Essex, Chloe Sims and Jess Wright.

"Sam has been very vocal about her ­dislike for the show once she left, despite it making her," a source told the newspaper.

"She saw it as a different part of her life. She's a mum now and that was a time she barely recognises.

"But despite kicking it previously, she's now happy to return, presumably at great expense to TOWIE bosses."

Towie Turns 10: All Back to Essex airs Sunday at 9pm on ITVBe.
