Jessica Wright RETURNS to The Only Way Is Essex… just months after quitting ‘for bigger things’

JESS WRIGHT has returned to TOWIE — just months after quitting for bigger things.

The reality star, 30, announced her departure from ITVBe series in February, saying: "After five amazing years it is time for me to step away."

But she has returned mere months later, having been spotted filming scenes with Bobby Norris.

A source said: "Everyone thought Jess was done with Towie but clearly she still remains loyal - or she just has plenty of time on her hands."

During her time out from the show she penned the novel Sparkling Stars, which she describes as "girly, glam, heartbreak" and also appeared on Celebrity First Dates.

She has plenty of source material, having been single for 18 months.

Her brother Mark Wright, 29, appeared alongside her in the first three series of TOWIE.

Speaking recently on Loose Women, Wright admitted she was jealous of his marriage to Michelle Keegan, 29, despite rumours their relationship had hit the rocks after she was pictured without a wedding ring.

Former Towie star Gemma Collins returned to the series last week to shoot scenes with Bobby, who is mourning the loss of his pet dog.

Ferne McCann has also featured in the latest series when she was Facetimed by Billie Faires.

A source close to Jess said: "She's only back for a cameo as her and Bobby have the same type of dog. She's off to LA next week for a month of exciting meetings."
