According to reports, TOWIE star Lauren Pope will be leaving the show at the end of the current series.

The DJ and businesswoman allegedly wants to spend more time focusing on her hair extensions company and look into other TV projects.

A source told The Mirror: “Lauren is juggling a few businesses, with her Hair Rehab extensions doing brilliantly at the moment. The company have done celebs including Little Mix’s hair and now it’s going global.

“But filming keeps talking up so much of her time. The cast spend a lot of time hanging around on set, and she doesn’t think she can commit to doing that for another series.

"Producers wanted her to stay, but she has too much on at the moment. She has invested in several other business opportunities and she needs to be present at meetings both in the UK and the US.

“She’s also had a couple of other TV offers, which she might test the water with.”

Lauren, 33, first appeared on the show back in October 2010. She soon started datong co-star Kirk Norcross and the couple shared a tumultuous relationship documented by the reality series.

More recently, Lauren has been linked to co-star Dan Edgar.
