Zara McDermott confirmed she has quit Made In Chelsea after two years.
The TV personality burst into the reality scene when she starred on Love Island in 2018.
Reality worlds collided when she met her current boyfriend Sam Thompson who introduced her as his girlfriend on Made In Chelsea.
Although she has quit Made In Chelsea, her boyfriend Sam — who has been on the show for years — has decided to remain in front of the cameras.
Off-screen, the couple have stayed together after they weathered Zara's cheating scandal which hit headlines last year.

In a new interview, Zara personally has sworn off reality TV because "it's hard on the soul".
Instead, the TV star has hopes of branching out into working on documentaries following the new BBC Three documentary Zara McDermott : Revenge Porn.
Zara has plans in the pipeline to get to work on documentaries in the next two years.
She told The Sun's TV magazine : "I’ve left. Sam's still in.
"I would like to do more documentaries. I'm bursting with ideas. I think I surprised myself — I was obviously nervous, a year ago. I enjoyed that gratification of helping people.
"That's my goal for this year and next year. No more reality TV, it's hard on the soul."
Her last series of Made In Chelsea centred around the fall out of her cheating confession.
It led to Zara and Sam's painful split which played out on screens for fans at home.
Since then, the couple have rekindled the flames of their romance and firmly put the past in the past.
They have been living at his Fulham home since reconciling in November last year amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Before reality TV, Zara made a living as a Government advisor doing administration.
Now she has 1.5million loyal followers on her Instagram account.
