Tommy Mallet moving family from Essex to Mallorca to create better life for son Brody
The Only Way Is Essex star Tommy Mallet plans to move his family from their home in Essex to Mallorca in order to create a better life for his son Brody, OK! can exclusively reveal.
29-year-old Tommy, who shares his one-year-old baby boy with fiancé and TOWIE co-star Georgia Kousoulou, 30, is set to announce on Sunday’s episode of Georgia & Tommy: Baby Steps that he plans for the family to relocate the Spanish island after he opens up about feeling guilty when unable to spend time with his son.
Viewers of the popular ITVBe series will see multi-millionaire business owner Tommy explaining to his co-stars: “I have got a year old, my business is flying. I have just launched in America, Canada. If I do a trip, I am trying to do it in 12 hours and come home.
“I feel selfish with what I am trying to build. I want to try and live in the moment a little bit, but I want to have a bit of peace in my life.

“This trip (Mallorca) was the first time I have been away from Brody overnight, I miss him badly. I want Brody to grow up and learn Spanish and have a different style of life. I want him to have something different to what I had.”
Successful shoe retailing boss Tommy has opened up previously about his difficult childhood, having moved to Essex in his teen years when he lived in a council flat.
Though he’s never shied away from his humble beginnings and instead uses them as a means of proving that he’s never lived off his family’s money, Tommy has now spoken about the toll that the constant travelling he does for business is having on his family life.
Speaking on Sunday night’s episode and following a recent trip to the sunny Spain, Tommy is seen to admit: “In Mallorca, I feel like a different person, I don’t feel the stress and pressure. The quality of life is so much better.”
Tommy also hopes to win over girlfriend Georgia – whom he popped the big question during an elaborate proposal in Mexico this February – by telling her of the possible locations available in Mallorca to celebrate their big day when the time comes.
“There are so many places for the wedding out here too,” he is seen telling a friend. “Georgia won’t think about it like it is anything. I will make s**t happen and then she can start looking at wedding venues. It is for them Georgia and Brody .. it ain’t for me. And then I can sort the yacht out.”
