Maria out on the town after racism row

The ex-TOWIE star ensured she didn’t go unnoticed by wearing a bright red dress at Liverpool’s trendy Playground club.

The 25-year-old was caught on tape saying she had slept with a "half-breed”.

Maria â€" previously branded “racist” by X Factor singer Marcus Collins, 23 â€" claimed she romped with mixed-race Liverpool FC player Nathan Eccleston, 21.

She was recorded outside a party in Liverpool saying: “How am I a racist? I banged a half-breed last week.”

She said last night: “The term half-breed wasn’t meant in a derogatory manner. If I’ve offended anyone, I sincerely apologise. I’m not racist.”

The latest row comes days after X Factor runner up Marcus Collins called her homophobic and racist in a Twitter spat.

Fowler was out on the town with glamour girl pal Gemma Massey.

Also spotted at the Liverpool hot spot were model Abbey Clancy and her cousin, Desperate Scousewives girl Chloe Cummings.
