MARNIE Simpson has quit Geordie Shore after five years.
The reality star joined the MTV reality show in 2013 but now she has decided to step away from the show and take her career to the next level.
A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "Marnie has loved her time on Geordie Shore but it's time for her to move on.
"She will still be around for this series but that's it - she won't return for the next."
Marnie has had her ups and downs in the show, famously her romances with the likes of Aaron Chalmers and Scotty T.
She also made history as the first LGBT member of the cast after coming out as bisexual in 2016.
The insider added: "Marnie's got loads of exciting opportunities coming up including new TV shows so she won't be off screens for long.
"Her contact lens business is massively popular too.
"She's loved her time on Geordie Shore and it's given her an incredible platform, but now she wants to move on and start new chapter in her life."
Marnie appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, eventually coming fourth.
Outside of the show Marnie has recently moved in with boyfriend Casey Johnson.
The pair met on MTV show Single AF last year and have been together throughout Marnie's last series though she did previously admit how it was tough being apart.
