Danielle Armstrong might make a "cameo" appearance in ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
The 28-year-old reality TV star only quit the ITVBe show in Monday (19.12.1) night’s festive special ‘The Only Way is Essexmas’ but it seems she’s already thinking about making a return next year as she’d still like to be involved in the big events on screen.
She explained: "I’m not turning my back on it and saying you’ll never see me again. It is a reality show so they are my friends in real life. If Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou get engaged, I will be at their engagement party and I will always be open to doing the odd cameo. ‘TOWIE’ made me what I am today. I always said when I joined the show, if I got a successful business and bought my own property, I would feel I’d achieved what I wanted to. And that’s what I’ve been about to do."
The blonde bombshell – who joined the reality TV series three years ago – felt she had no choice but to leave the programme when she started dating former footballer Daniel Spiller, 35, because she could no longer be around or film with her ex-boyfriend James ‘Lockie’ Lock – who’s also on the show – following their split earlier this year.
She explained: "I’d come to the end of my ‘TOWIE’ journey. Everyone focused on Danni and Lockie and now there is no more Danni and Lockie. I haven’t got anything bad to say about him, he just wasn’t a good boyfriend. I can’t see myself moving on in my life if I’m still being around my ex-boyfriend having to film with him. I’m 28 now, in the next five years I want to settle down and meet someone and have things I wanted with James."
And, although she’s sad that things between her and the husky-voiced hunk didn’t work out, Danielle is ready to throw herself head first into her romance with Daniel.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, she said: "The sparks were there. I’d just broken up with James, so I didn’t want anything serious and I knew he’d just broken p with his girlfriend. But when you spend time with someone it’s a natural progression. I’m really fond of him but it’s still early days and we’re not official or anything."
