Chloe added: ‘I want to thank ITV and Lime Pictures for the life-changing opportunity to work on TOWIE for so many years.’
She continued: “I never imagined that after my first TOWIE scene I would be saying goodbye 12 years later.
“It was great, especially making memories for life with friends, the cast and the crew. I have had the privilege of being able to share my experience over the years with several family members as well. For that alone I will be eternally grateful to you.

“Without fans this would not be possible and it has undoubtedly made this experience one that I will never forget, and I will take their love and support into the next chapter of my life.”
