TWO of the biggest stars of reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex are heading for Hampshire to open a 'pop-up' store.

Sisters Sam and Billie Faiers are bringing their Minnies Boutique to WestQuay in Southampton for two days only.

The move follows on from successful pop-ups in Liverpool and Sheffield and the boutique wil be open on the weekend of November 24 and 25.

The sisters will also be on hand to lend shoppers their advice and expertise about their favourite fashions and will also be signing autographs for fans.

Sam said: “We are really excited to be bringing our pop-up shop to Southampton. Myself, Billie and the Minnies Team have really enjoyed bringing the concept to different cities around the UK, and we hope that Southampton will be just as much, if not more fun.

“Minnies has built such a loyal following with people travelling from all over the country to visit the original store, so we decided one really important project for us in 2012 was to take it out on the road, its Minnies On Tour!

"We love giving our fans in different cities the chance to visit us in our Minnies pop-up shop, and we love meeting them and helping advise them on their fashion purchases.”

Alexandra Thomas, WestQuay's marketing manager said: “We’re very excited to welcome Sam and Billie to WestQuay, where we’re sure that Minnies Boutique will prove a hit with our fashion conscious shoppers. It’s great to be able to offer our customers that little bit extra with this exclusive pop-up store.”
