Jess Wright has ruled out ever returning to The Only Way Is Essex, saying she ‘doesn’t even know who is on it anymore.’
Her words came after her brother Mark Wright’s ex-fiancée Lauren Goodger made her big comeback on the long-running reality show that made them all household names.
The TV personality, 38, who found fame on the ITVBe series in 2010, admitted she has no time to watch anymore because she has ‘lots on’.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, mother-of-one Jess, who starred in 16 series of the show before leaving in 2016, said she is ‘amazed it is still going’.
She said: ‘I’m probably not going to return only because my life is different now and you know, I’ve got the baby and I’ve got loads going on.
‘It’s so amazing that it’s still going. I can’t believe it’s like 30 seasons something like that. I mean that’s beyond isn’t it amazing.

Jess is now a busy mother to 22-month-old son Presley so her priorities have changed
‘I mean I haven’t even watched the last however many series, I don’t even have the time.
‘When you have a baby, there’s so many TV programmes I want to catch up on and I never get to do it because the time that you get to like actually chilling in the evening with your husband and stuff you like catching up on the day and then to be honest with you we’re in bed by like 9pm every night, so sad.
‘But yeah, that’s just mum and dad life. I don’t even know who’s exactly on it.’

Jess and Lauren haven’t always seen eye to eye, as back in 2012 Lauren accused Jess and her family of ruining her relationship with Mark.
Mark and Lauren split in 2012 following a tumultuous on-off 11-year relationship. He is now happily married to actress Michelle Keegan since 2015.
Jess tied the knot with husband William Lee-Kemp in a lavish Mallorca ceremony in 2022 and has since welcomed a son, Presley, 22 months.
She went on to admit motherhood is a ‘rollercoaster’ but she is finally finding parenting easier.

The influencer told MailOnline: ‘Motherhood’s going really well. It’s definitely a rollercoaster when you first become a mum it’s all kind of a new thing that you’ve never done before.
‘It’s crazy and it’s everything in between but it’s going really well, Presley is at a lovely age. He’s at a really good age and I think when they understand you more and kind of communicate better, it’s a lot easier.’
She continued: ‘We recently went to Dubai and obviously on the flight, you always get that kind of like, pre-flight anxiety of, oh gosh, how’s he gonna be, will he nap, but actually we had a good trip, we got through it.
‘My parents came and it’s always nice to have another pair of hands there and my parents just absolutely adore him, just like they do their other grandchildren.
‘It’s just nice to sort of have them creating memories with us and watching him grow up. I think my mom and dad will probably be on every holiday we ever go on if they could.’
