Demi Sims was seen filming TOWIE with girlfriend Francesca Farago after she was suspended for flouting lockdown rules.
Also slapped with a suspension earlier this month was her elder sister Frankie Sims and pal Harry Derbidge, after the trio were filmed at what appeared to be a party.
The temporary ban now appears to have been lifted, with Demi and Harry seen working on the show last week alongside her girlfriend Francesca, who is set to make her show debut.

Demi, 22, packed on the PDA with her girlfriend in the scenes, with the pair strolling arm in arm before stopping to share a kiss.
The reality starlet was dressed to catch the eye in a vibrant orange trench coat that she teamed with leather trousers and trainers.
Too Hot to Handle star Francesca, 27, also opted for an autumnal colour palette as she teamed black leather flares with a tan blazer.
While it has not been announced if she will become a permanent castmember on the show, Francesca’s cameo will no doubt cause tension after their relationship was scrutinised in an earlier show.

Demi was asked if she thought she was going ‘a bit quick’ with Francesca, but she said she likes ‘taking things quick’ in her relationships.
Speaking with her sister Chloe and friends Harry, and Amy Childs at a bar, Harry claimed: ‘The only thing I’m worried about is Demi getting married before me, she’s on a roller-coaster.’
Demi simply quipped: ‘Listen Harry, you snooze you lose, if I get married before you.’
Harry claimed he was ‘so happy’ for Demi, and suggested: ‘I think you’ve actually met The One.’

Amy stepped in and asked: ‘Dem, do you think it’s a bit quick? I’m not judging!’
Demi was honest with her thoughts on the matter, admitting: ‘I like taking things quick, I like finding out about someone and their heart, and I’m just all about the fairy tale to be honest’.
Chloe then chimed in to ask if Francesca, who hails from Canada, knew anything about Essex, and Demi said: ‘Not at all, she doesn’t have a clue.’
Her sister then said: ‘I think she’s going to have a bit of a culture shock.’
Demi went public with Francesca back in January during a trip to Dubai and they moved into a new home together in London last month.

The makeup brush mogul – who saw his plans to adopt and to tie the knot in 2020 pushed back by the pandemic – was also sure to turn heads as he was seen pushing his dog in a buggy.
The trio’s outing came after they were suspended from the show for flouting lockdown rules.

A video uploaded by Harry’s fiancé Dean Rowland earlier in the month showed him cuddling up to Francesca while Demi, Harry and Frankie mingled in the background in a party setting.
A spokesperson for TOWIE confirmed the suspension and told MailOnline: ‘Several cast members have been temporarily suspended from filming TOWIE.
‘The safety of our cast and crew is of paramount importance and we expect them to abide by the protocols put in place in line with government guidelines to ensure they keep themselves and those around them safe.’

The suspension came after The Only Way Is Essex was hit by complaints to Ofcom after the stars were seen visiting pubs and restaurants while the UK is in lockdown.
According to a report from the government regulatory authority on Wednesday, 64 people have contacted them to complain about the programme since its launch on Sunday night.
Before the episode began, bosses clarified in a disclaimer that the 28th series was filmed following strict Covid-19 protocols so that the cast and crew are safe.

It read: ‘The show will still be bringing you the cast’s real lives and stories, but to keep everyone safe TOWIE have had to create its own little world to film in.
‘So, although you may see cast in pubs and restaurants, don’t worry because they’ve opened just for the show and have put in lots of extra measures, so Lime Pictures and ITV can still bring you the TOWIE you love safely.’
During the show, stars like Chloe Sims and her sister Demi were seen at a bar while the cast also celebrated a birthday party, and they also visited each other’s houses.
According to a report from The Sun, the complaints to Ofcom were made about: ‘Filming in bars, restaurants and gyms during lockdown and food wastage.’
TOWIE spokespeople declined to comment when approached.
