Jessica Wright walks out of TOWIE after 5 years

Jessica Wright is apparently not going to be appearing in the next series of The Only Way is Essex.

The 29-year old reality TV star is going to be focusing on some new upcoming TV projects instead, according to insiders. Perhaps she’s taking a leaf out of brother Mark’s book then?

According to The Sun, Jessica will be leaving the show at the end of the current series. As well as other possible TV ventures, the brunette has also reportedly planned to become a published author, as well as her successful swimwear collection with Ann Summers.

Like other cast members of the show who used TOWIE as a means to project their celebrity careers, Jessica is apparently eager to venture into new projects after five years with the successful series.

Jessica’s brother Mark Wright has had numerous hosting gigs and TV appearances since leaving TOWIE, including Strictly Come Dancing.

An insider is reported to have told The Sun that Jessica “has built up a good set of contacts” in order to pursue her next projects seriously.

The reality star is has also used her role on the show to help her high street and online boutique take off, as well as trying to get her music career started. Unfortunately for Jess, the music industry wasn’t an easy nut to crack as all three of her singles failed to make much of an impact on British charts.

Having had a troubled relationship with fellow TOWIE cast member Ricky for two years, Jessica is currently dating football player Connor Wickham.

Ricky, 24, has previously made some not so subtle digs at Jessica in an interview with Star magazine which has apparently led to Jessica’s most recent Instagram post. Ricky is now dating Marnie Simpson, familiar to anyone who’s a fan of Geordie Shore.

While the reports are circulating that this series of TOWIE will be Jess’s last, her representatives has as of yet not made an official statement.
