She might have been unfairly described by one of her cast mates as nothing more than an 'extra'.
But there are not many walk-on parts that lead to your very own calendar, as Maria Fowler has proved.
And if these sexy pictures are anything to go by, The Only Way Is Essex star is set to get pulses racing every month next year, making her a household name in more ways than one.
Maria, 24, is seen in a number of poses - and two pieces - as she posed for the camera on the shoot, which took place in Sandbanks, Dorset.
And Maria also appeared to move with the seasons as she slapped on the fake tan during the shoot, possibly to get the desired effect for her summer photos.
Maria follows in the footsteps of TOWIE co-star Amy Childs, who revealed to the Mail Online recently that she had just shot her 2012 calendar in Dubai.
Maria, who is good friends with Lauren Pope, was first introduced in the first series of TOWIE but had more of a reoccurring role in the last series.
And Maria plans to make sure she is just a big a name as Childs, Mark Wright, Lauren Goodger and even Kirk Norcross - who was the one that called her 'just an extra' - when the new series starts in September.
She also slammed reports that she hadn't been sacked from the show and said: 'It’s all crap, they have a formula that works. Why change it?

If you're going to be arriving for a social event by helicopter then you have to make sure that there will be no wardrobe mishaps on arrival.
Something which Lydia Bright clearly didn't take into account when she got out of a helicopter that had flown her to a VIP event in her native county today.
The Only Way Is Essex star was snapped struggling with her dress as she climbed out of a helicopter to join the rest of the cast at the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy in Gaynes Park, Epping.
Caught in the breeze from the aircraft's blades, Lydia unwittingly flashed her black sparkly pants as she started to walk across the lawn.
Realising what was happening, she grabbed her white dress and tried to pull it down before she cleared her windy path and laughed in embarrassment as she finally managed to smooth her frock down.
And she took to her Twitter page to post a picture of her with her co-stars and said: 'Me & the gals fab so far. Apart from the slight incident when my dress flew up from helicopter!'
Lydia was one of several members of the TOWIE cast attending what they consider the highlight of their summer social calendar.
Now fully bonafide VIPs since the huge success of their reality TV show, the gang were brought to this year's event by helicopter, giving them the full five-star treatment.
The gang never miss the event and it was where Lydia met James 'Arg' Argent a few years ago.
Peter was this year's guest of honour and opened the match by throwing a ball at the start of the game.
And Alex arrived with new girlfriend Chantelle Houghton who looked very pretty in a maxi dress with an unusual green, white and black print - although she had to call on Alex to help untangle her when she caught her heel on the hem.
