We?re not too sure what The Only Way Is Essex will be like without Amy Childs in, but we?re going to have to get used to that prospect as it seems the reality star has quit the series - all because she wants to go on the revamped version of Celebrity Big Brother.
Apparently Amy has been offered �20,000 to appear on CBB this summer, however when TOWIE bosses caught wind of the plan they banned her from appearing on the show ? so she quit. A slightly bitchy sounding inside source revealed yesterday that they thought the move was a bad idea for Amy?s career:
'The Only Way Is Essex is a community show. It stars TOWIE people, not Big Brother wannabes - it's new and fresh.�
'It's bizarre that Amy wants to do a show that was axed last year for being out of date. It's sad she's leaving - viewers like her. But no-one is bigger than the show.'
Amy didn?t look too fussed by the drama when we caught up with her over the weekend; she was indulging in retail therapy in Essex ? possibly picking up some new garments for CBB.
