Geordie Shore star Natalie Phillips has confessed that she quit after feeling 'too old' for the show.
Chronicle Live reported last week that Natalie walked out of the house, with her exit, after two years on Geordie Shore, leaving some of her cast members in tears.
Revealing to them she was leaving the show, the 30-year-old said: "I've had a word with meself; I've woke up today, I feel a lot better, a lot happier but I have decided to leave the house tonight.
"I know that it's my time to go now."
In a piece to camera, prior to making the announcement, Natalie admitted: "I'm not sure that getting mortal, necking on and acting single is actually for me. I'm not sure this house is for me."
After her exit aired on Tuesday night's episode, Newcastle-based barber Natalie appeared on after show Geordie More and told host and former cast member Sophie Kasaei she realised being on the show was no longer for her.
Revealing it was at the end of a messy house party that she realised she needed to move on, Natalie said: "I'm 30 Soph and I thought I don't know how much longer I can carry this on for. I don't know how long I can pull off being 30 year old and going out, going mad...erm and I obviously, I went in there single for the first time and it was just a weird one."
"I didn't know how I felt. I was out of me comfort zone massively."
Replying, Sophie said to her: "I just wish all them years ago when we were all in when we were 21 that you were there."
Sophie, also 30, walked away from the show last year and added: "As you get older it's different isn't it? It's like nothing like that really matters. It takes a lot to walk away though."
Ruling out a permanent return to the show in the future, Natalie said: "I'd go back for a visit, just not to stay over. I'd be a passer-by."
