Over recent years Essex has become one of the most iconic regions in England. Thanks to television shows like The Only Way Is Essex and Gavin and Stacey, people from the rest of the UK have retained something of a cult interest in the home of Joey Essex and Gemma Collins.
One of Essex's favourite sons is boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who we sat down with this week to learn as much as we could about the place he calls home.
We got Eddie to give us the lowdown on everything there is to know about Essex, from the best and worst things about it, the best slang and the best way to spend a day there.
This is Eddie Hearn's Ultimate Guide to Essex.
