From taking on new TV projects, to escaping the never ending drama to focusing on family life, there is a long list of reasons why different former TOWIE stars have retired from the Essex scene.
But Lauren Pope’s reasoning is one we’ve NEVER heard before…
Speaking to Closer magazine in last week’s issue, the 33-year-old explained how a psychic told her it was time to leave The Only Way Is Essex for good.
“I saw a psychic who told me told leave, and now I’m very calm and relaxed.”
Lauren revealed how the drama got on top of her:
“The latest series was girls against girls – it was too much.”
Before announcing she was departing from the ITVBe series in October, Lauren had several dramatic run ins with co-stars.
She went head to head with Maria Fowler, Chloe Sims and Gemma Collins.
“I don’t know if Gemma would say ‘hi’ if I saw her,” Lauren revealed.
Since leaving the show, Lauren has put all her energy into making her own clothing line. She is also busy promoting her extensions brand, Hair Rehab London.
But she confessed: “I was nervous to leave TOWIE, but when I felt most nervous, the rewards have been amazing.”
It seems like you're doing great to us, Lauren.
