The Only Way Is Essex has proved to be very lucrative for all those who have bagged starring roles in the popular ITV show.
Having joined the cast towards the end of series five Danni Park-Dempsey didn't really get a chance to make an impact with viewers.
So now that the cast are having some downtime new girl Danni stepped out last night in Essex in an outfit that would have made anyone think she has a leading role in the show.
New girl in town: TOWIE's Danni Park-Dempsey (centre) shows off her toned legs as she heads to Funky Mojoe
The bubbly Essex girl stunned in a very short flowing white chiffon skirt which showed off her toned legs as she headed to Funky Mojoe in South Woodford.
She teamed the skirt with a beige shirt which was unbuttoned to ensure her ample cleavage was on display as she hit up TOWIE's hotspot.
Danni completed her look with a pair of strapped metallic skyscraper heels and she accessorised with a silver crucifix necklace and several beaded bracelets.

Excited to hit the town with her girl pals, earlier in the day the reality TV star took to her Twitter page to update her followers.
She tweeted, 'Can't wait for @FUNKYMOJOE tonight with all my girls x'
Enjoying the evening and starting to feel the effects of the alcohol, she tweeted, 'Wow I let my hair down for one night and one night only #tipsy #love x'
Showing off her assets: The 21-year-old tweeted that she had allowed herself to let her hair down for once
Last night before the 21-year-old retired to her bed she posted one more tweet which read, 'Night had the best night x'
Danni's appearance last night differed in comparison to the few times she received cameos in the Bafta award-winning show where she seemed to be plain Jane.
In the last episode of TOWIE Danni looked dressed down as she sat comforting Lucy Mecklenburgh alongside her BFF Lydia Bright when she donned a navy blue play suit.

Essex and Suffolk links to international coaches - East Anglian Daily Times

THE appointment of former Suffolk cricketer Richard Pybus as coach of Bangladesh has re-affirmed the rich seam of coaching talent with Suffolk and Essex links.
Former Sudbury and Halstead pace bowler Pybus, 47, who has been living and coaching in South Africa for several years now, worked with Pakistan at two World Cups.
He was appointed coach of Pakistan in 1999 but sacked just a month into the job after losing three Tests in Australia, and returning to work in South Africa, where he has led Border and Titans to ten championship finals, winning six of them and twice doing the double.
Pybus, who turned to coaching after his playing career was cut short by injury, has now taken on the challenge of coaching Bangladesh on a two-year contract.
Below is a list of cricketers with Suffolk and Essex links who have made their mark in recent years in the coaching world at international level.
Stuart Law: Pybus replaces the former Essex batsman as coach of Bangladesh. Law stood down less than a year into his two-year contract for family reasons. The Australian was a popular player at Chelmsford between 1996 and 2001 before a falling out saw him move to Lancashire.
Andy Flower: The former Zimbabwe wicket-keeper and batsman played for Essex from 2002 until 2006, before being assistant coach of the England team in 2007. Following the departure of Peter Moores in 2009, Flower became the full-time England team director.
Graham Gooch: The former Essex and England captain took over as head coach of Essex from 2001 until 2005. He remained as the county’s batting coach and in 2009 he was appointed as England’s ‘temporary’ batting coach, which subsequently became a permanent role. He stepped down as Essex’s batting coach after he was appointed full-time to the England role earlier this year.
Keith Fletcher: The ex-Essex and England captain was England team manager from 1993-1995. He subsequently returned to Essex as first-team coach before stepping down in 2001.
Alan Butcher: The former Surrey and Glamorgan batsman was coach of Essex in 1993 and later coached Surrey from 2005 until 2008. Butcher, who won one Test cap for England, was appointed coach of Zimbabwe in 2011 and has overseen their return to Test cricket.
Grant Flower: Following his retirement from Test cricket in 2004, Grant followed his brother Andy to Essex, where he played for six seasons, combining playing with being batting coach in 2010 before retiring to take up the role as Zimbabwe’s batting coach. He made a surprise, but brief return to the national side, before retiring in January last year to concentrate on his role as batting coach.
Ian Pont: The ex-Essex fast bowler was named as Bangladesh bowling coach in September 2010, but decided not to extend his contract beyond the World Cup early last year when they had a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals after beating England. In March this year he was head coach of the Dhaka Gladiators side that won the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League.
Don Topley: The former Essex bowler, who is now a cricket coach at the Royal Hospital School at Holbrook, just outside Ipswich, coached Zimbabwe between 1990 and 1992, famously leading the minnows to victory over England, captained by Gooch, by nine runs at the 1992 World Cup in Australia.

Kent Farrington plays spoiler, edges crowd favourite at Spruce Meadows - Calgary Herald
The home crowd was ready to erupt for their favoured son, but Kent Farrington and his horse doused that party in a dramatic way on Saturday afternoon.
Farrington and his excellent mount Uceko, last in a jump-off field of five, blew through the course in a time of 38.98, nipping Canada's Eric Lamaze and Derly Chin de Muze to win the $200,000 CN Reliability Grand Prix - the feature event at the 2012 Spruce Meadows National.
"My horse likes it here,'' commented Farrington, from Greenwich, Ct. "He's a big jumper and in a jump-off like that we can really let him go.'
Lamaze, still deciding which horse to take to the Olympic Games in London, must have had Derly whispering in his ear 'pick me, pick me' as she performed brilliantly in the jump-off.
Fourth of five competitors in the extra round, Lamaze and his mare scooted around the course clean and in a time of 40.40, besting the previous low of 44.75 set by Darragh Kerins and Lisona. And as much as the locals were hoping that the time would hold up, Farrington and Uceko had other ideas, wheeling through with a faster clocking and accepting the accompanying $66,000 pay-cheque.
"I thought the end of the course was where it got difficult,'' Farrington suggested. "The black planks is always a careful fence and then there was a distance to a combination which is always scopey. I opted to do six strides there; my horse has a giant stride, so that suited us. The test after that was a delicate skinny vertical on the side of the ring, which was difficult to jump, so that was sort of the real test of the course.''
"I didn't want to completely give it to him,'' Lamaze said with a smile, "but I knew that the time he would absolutely get. . . But, I went with what I felt was a competitive speed for my horse without taking any more risks than I had to. Kent is one of the fastest riders around and he knows his horse well.''
Even the on-course announcer mentioning Farrington had the fastest intermediate time didn't faze him.
"I didn't even hear anything, to be honest,'' he said. "I wanted to have an option at the end that if I felt under the pace I could do seven (strides) to the last jump. He slipped a little bit back at the vertical and I jumped that and I thought 'I think I'm fast enough, I think I'll do eight'.''
Kerins, the second competitor in the first round who watched 21 horses go before there was another clear, allowed himself to think, ever so briefly, that there might not be a jump-off.
"For a while I did think . . .'' the Irishman said with a shrugged. "I knew there were a lot of good horses at the end. I was delighted with my mare. It's her first time here. She hasn't jumped since the metre-50 on Wednesday; she jumped great, so I took a chance and just left her for the grand prix, but it all worked out.'
The grand prix is the first leg of the CN Precision Series, which consists of four events. The next is Saturday's CN Performance World Cup during the Continental tournament.
The 2012 National ends today with the Nexen Cup derby, slated for a 2: 15 p.m. start time.
