Jess Wright has ruled out returning to The Only Way Is Essex, saying she “doesn’t even know who’s in it anymore”.
His words came after his brother Mark Wright’s ex-fiancee, Lauren Goodger, made her grand return to the long-running reality show that made them all household names.
The TV personality, 38, who rose to fame with the ITVBe series in 2010, admitted he no longer has time to watch it because he has “a lot going on”.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, mum-of-one Jess, who starred in 16 series of the show before leaving in 2016, said she is “surprised it’s still going on”.
She said: “I’m probably not going to go back just because my life is different now and you know, I have the baby and I have a lot of things to do.”
‘It’s so surprising that it’s still going on. I can’t believe it’s 30 seasons or something. I mean that goes further, isn’t it amazing?
Jess Wright has said she “doesn’t even know who’s on TOWIE anymore” and would never return… after her brother’s ex Lauren Goodger makes her big return to the reality show.
It comes days after his brother’s ex-fiancée Lauren Goodger made her big return to the long-running reality show (pictured with Lauren and Mark in 2011).
TOWIE series 33 returned to screens on March 24 and after the cast filmed in Bali, Lauren made her big return to the show after seven years.
Jess is now a busy mom to her 22-month-old son Presley, so her priorities have changed.
‘I mean I haven’t even seen the last series, I don’t even have time.
“When you have a baby, there are so many TV shows that I want to catch up on and I can never do it because there comes a time when you like to relax at night with your husband and things that you like to catch up on during the day. And then , to be honest with you, we are in bed at like 9 pm every night, very sad.
‘But yes, that’s the life of mom and dad. I don’t even know who exactly is in it.
TOWIE series 33 returned to screens on March 24 and after the cast filmed in Bali, Lauren will make her big return to the show after seven years.
Jess and Lauren haven’t always seen eye to eye, as in 2012 Lauren accused Jess and her family of ruining her relationship with Mark.
Mark and Lauren split in 2012 after a tumultuous 11-year on-again, off-again relationship. He is now happily married to actress Michelle Keegan since 2015.
Jess married her husband William Lee-Kemp in a lavish ceremony in Mallorca in 2022 and has since welcomed a son, 22-month-old Presley.
She went on to admit that motherhood is a “roller coaster,” but she’s finally finding it easier to be a mother.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Jess, who starred in 16 series of the show before leaving in 2016, said she is “surprised it’s still going on” (pictured in 2011).
She said: “I’m probably not going to go back just because my life is different now and you know, I have the baby and I have a lot of things to do.” It’s so amazing that it’s still going on. I don’t even know who exactly is in it.
The influencer told MailOnline: ‘Motherhood is going very well. It’s definitely a rollercoaster when you become a mother for the first time, it’s something new that you’ve never done before.
“It’s crazy and it’s everything else, but it’s going very well, Presley is a lovely age.” He’s a really good age and I think when they understand you more and communicate better, it’s a lot easier.”
She continued: “We recently went to Dubai and obviously on the flight you always feel that kind of pre-flight anxiety of, oh God, how will he be, will he take a nap, but we actually had a good trip, I got through it.
‘My parents came over and it’s always nice to have another pair of hands there and my parents just adore it, as do their other grandchildren.
‘It’s nice to have them making memories with us and watching it grow. I think my mum and dad would probably be on every holiday we’re going on if they could.’
Jessica Wright was speaking from the Ideal Home Show at Olympia London, which runs from Friday 22 March to Sunday 7 April.
