Two TOWIE stars set to leave show after Roman Hackett told fans he was quitting
TOWIE star Roman Hackett took to Instagram to tell fans he was quitting the ITV2 series.
TOWIE star Roman Hackett who joined the ITV2 series four years ago, has revealed he is quitting the show. In an Instagram story, he wrote: “Life update…. I’ve chosen to step away from TOWIE to focus on myself and the next stage of my career.
“The journey’s been mad in the best way, and I appreciate every moment and everyone who’s been part of it and for everyone that’s supported me!
“Thank you again for the constant support.”
Roman Hackett also wrote: “Big love always. Onwards and upwards.”
The Sun has reported “Now, we can exclusively reveal that Sammy Root, 24, and Matilda Draper, 25- who is Roman’s partner-won’t be returning to TOWIE either. “
A source told The Sun that “There are a lot of changes ahead for the new series of TOWIE and unfortunately some stars won’t be back.#
“Sammy had a meeting with bosses about his future on the series and they agreed mutually for him not to come back at this time.
“Sammy wants to explore new opportunities and producers felt like his storyline had run its course, but the door is always open for him to come back in the future.”
In August of this year, former Love Island star Matilda Draper took to Instagram and wrote: “Life with you ✨🐚🌺🌴🥥.” In May Roman Hackett shared details of the couple’s podcast and wrote: “RAW & REALITY PODCAST coming tomorrow on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcast!!!!! STAY TUNED GUYS 🫢.”
Matilda spoke about their relationship on the Not My Bagg podcast and said: “I first met him at someone's birthday, just after I broke up with Sean. We were just friends before I went on Love Island, he's friends with one of my friends and they went on holiday together and he'd always pop up on her Instagram Stories about me.
She also said: “Then I went to his event on Halloween and I ended up snogging him and then we were in Dubai at the same time alone, so we had a holiday romance.
“It was so weird though because I'm usually an ice queen but he's really just melted my heart.”
