Danielle Armstrong would never go back to ‘The Only Way is Essex’ full time.
The 28-year-old star recently turned her back on the ITVBe series to focus on her new relationship with retired footballer Daniel Spiller and, although she’s already missing her friends from the show, she doesn’t think she’ll ever return unless it’s a cameo appearance at her pals Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet’s engagement party.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "I don’t think I’d ever go back as a character. It was 100 per cent the right decision to leave. I would only go back if Tommy and Georgia got engaged and had a party or one of the girls had a baby shower."
The blonde bombshell felt she had no choice but to walk away from the programme when she started romancing Dan, 35, earlier this year because she didn’t want to be in the same environment as her ex-boyfriend James ‘Lockie’ Lock.
She explained: "A big part of it [her leaving] was because I’d met Dan. I thought, if I’m ever going to be able to make a go of any relationship, I’m going to have to take myself out of this situation. I really do wish James all the best and I hope he meets someone who’s perfect for him. If I saw him I’d probably say hi but I’m not going to give him any support or check how he’s getting on in the new series [of the ITVBe show]."
However, Danielle isn’t the only one who has moved on as James – who she dated on and off for three years – has also bagged himself a new girlfriend recently.
Danielle said: "I think he’s seeing someone else now and we’re going to see that in the new series. I’m happy for him and I’m glad he’s moved on."
