There's a lot of drama going on with the TOWIE lot at the moment - poor Harry Derbidge - but one cast member we've missed on our screen is Amber Turner.

We're already on episode five of series 34 and we've barely seen Amber on our screens... She did speak about her new boyfriend Archie Chandler, but that's about it.

And now Amber has opened up about her stint on TOWIE and admitted that while she's not quitting anytime soon, she is taking a slight step back from the show.

'I feel like I haven't filmed loads this series,' she told her TikTok followers.

'I didn't go to Cyprus because I was really busy with work and the timings just didn't work for me.

'Obviously I have filmed in the UK but then I went away for a few weeks. I think for the first time in my life I am prioritising my private life and my life off camera because I've given seven years of my life to TOWIE and I sort of feel like I'm coming to a point where I've given all I can give.'

She went on to reflect on her onscreen romances (she dated Dan Edgar and Jamie Reed on TOWIE) and hinted that they definitely played a part in her seven-year stint.

'I feel like being on TOWIE, when you have relationships on the show it does increase your longevity... I feel like if I wasn't dating somebody that wasn't on the show I probably wouldn't have been on it for as long as I was but your life becomes integrated with the show.

'You end up living a life that's real but not because everything is on camera.'

It was at this point that Amber reassured her followers that she's not leaving TOWIE anytime soon but viewers will be seeing less of her in series 34.

'This series you might not see me as much because I have prioritised other aspects of my life and as much as I love filming the show, and I'm so grateful I get to do it with my best friends, there's more things going on in my life that's off camera that aren't being filmed.

'If you don't see me as much on camera this series, it's because I've not been there as much as all the other full-time cast members.... I haven't left just yet.'

We shouldn't be that surprised tbh.

After ending things with Dan, she's been living her best life.

Amber has her new boyfriend, she's in Dubai all time (or on holiday with Kady McDermott) and she even seems to have even squashed things with Ella Rae Wise.
