Chloe, 23, took to social media to tell fans that she was moving on from the hit programme.
She shared on Instagram: "I have made the decision to take a step back from Towie, it's been my life since I was 18 and I feel like it's best for me at this point in my life to step away."
She added: "I'm forever grateful to Towie for giving me the platform they have.
"Love you all," followed by a red love heart emoji.

It comes after Chloe was excluded from a trip to Bali after ruffling feathers with co-stars.
Chloe, who was suspended last year after she was violent towards two cast members, is said to not be trusted by ITV bosses.
At the time, a source told The Sun: “Chloe Brockett hasn’t been invited to join the rest of the cast when they film their group trip to Bali to kick off the new series in March.
"Bosses toyed with the idea, as they know she makes good telly, but ultimately they didn’t feel they could trust her not to misbehave and they couldn’t risk anything derailing things while they are filming in an expensive overseas location."

They said that Chloe’s future on the show was still "up in the air after her suspension".
The source added: "She may well show up later in the series, but she will definitely not be heading to the Indonesian island with her pals."

However Chloe revealed after she only missed two episodes after the explosive "glass-throwing" fight.
During the explosive row, Chloe is thought to have launched three glasses at her co-star Roman Hackett.
At the time, a shocked onlooker told The Sun how Chloe exploded with fury at Roman during filming in Brentwood, Essex.
It wasn't the first time Chloe had been caught up in a row which turned violent.
Last April, when not filming for Towie, Chloe threw an ice bucket at Ella Rae Wise but ended up hitting a woman who was left covered in blood.
'STIR THINGS UP'
Eyewitnesses told how Chloe allegedly threw the Grey Goose cooler at Ella but it missed and hit the bystander.
Despite her decision to quit Towie, Chloe will be making a return to TV screens on the next series of MTV's Celebrity Ex On The Beach.
She had been originally brought on board by EOTB bosses to be the ex of controversial Love Island winner Jack Fincham before he was axed from the show as a result of his drug-drive arrest.
Despite this, show chiefs were keen to keep the fiery reality star on the programme and she jetted off to join the rest of the cast during filming last year.
A source told The Sun: "Chloe was originally lined up to stir things up as Jack's ex on the show.

"However, when it became clear that he would not be part of the programme, bosses were still desperate for Chloe to appear as they knew she'd make great TV.
"Her stint ended up being short-lived as she was not joined by any of her exes during her time filming in Gran Canaria but it's safe to say that she certainly made an impact on the show's villa."
