In a lengthy post, she wrote: "Just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's been involved in my Geordie Shore journey for the past 6 years!

"Considering I thought I was going to get p***ed for 6 weeks and thought I'd be going back to the call centre this has changed my life and I'll forever be grateful."
