Obviously we never want to see any of our TOWIE babes saying goodbye to the show but when they have the chance to break Hollywood, well, then we are a tad more lenient.
From Chloe Sims and her hoard of siblings moving to L.A to offer us their spin-off show House of Sims to Jasmine Walia performing at the wedding of a Hollywood couple, some TOWIE stars have thrived Stateside.
Another legend who is looking to break the world of Hollywood is Essex's very own, He-Man/Hercules/Tarzan, none other than James 'Lockie' Lock.
Joining the show in 2013, Lockie has been noticeably from the most recent series of the reality TV show and during a chatwith his fellow cast member, Jordan Brook, admitted that, "There was nothing really on there for me – at this present time."
And now the gym bro most has his eye on bigger things. Or bigger screens, at least.
Posting on his Instagram story Lockie revealed that he has been having acting lessons and is being coached by non other than EastEnders heartthrob, Jack Ryder.
Anyone who watched the show back in the nineties and noughties had a crush on Jack Ryder, the actor is best known for playing the role of Jamie Mitchell and those boy-band curtains stole the hearts of countless viewers.
Sharing a photo on his Instagram story, Lockie praised his acting coach and we can confirm that yep, Jack is still hot.
"Shout out to my acting coach @jackrydersessions great session today! Exciting things coming".
Lockie has already dabbled in the world of acting and even has his very own IMDB page which doesn't just feature The Only Way is Essex in his credits, FYI.
In fact, the reality TV turned Hollywood star has TWO projects in the pipeline where he will play the roles of Carlton Gunn, in CUT and Bobby the DJ in The Stork Club.
Leonardo DiCaprio is surely shaking in his boots.
