"He's been in the show since the beginning and it will always be a big part of his life," a source told the Sun. "But the time was right to move on. "A lot of new characters have been brought in this season and Ollie hasn't been in it as much. But he understands, and having rejected a number of TV offers in the past, a few things have come up that are too good to turn down."

As they were filming the current series, he told bosses this would be his last and they were disappointed. "Ollie, currently the oldest member of MIC, isn't the only star reported to be leaving the show — Millie Mackintosh has also decided to bid farewell. 

After tying the knot with rapper Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, in September, she has apparently decided to join him on tour in the US, rather than return to the programme.
