Ferne McCann has confirmed she is taking a break from The Only Way Is Essex (Towie).
The reality star, who has become a TV presenter following her successful stint on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, said she is taking a step back from the show.
But the 25-year-old left the door open to return if her friends ever "need me".
In a video posted on Towie's Twitter page, she said: "Many of you have been wondering if I will be returning back to Essex after my adventure Down Under."
She said she has been "super busy since I've been back from Australia" and, pointing to her face, added: "You won't be seeing as much of this on The Only Way Is Essex.
"To be honest with you, you might enjoy the break. However, if any of my friends ever need me or need my advice I will make sure I'm back to Essex to help them."
