Made in Chelsea star quits show after explosive season and split from co-star
Bella Sharpe, who joined the show last year, is not set to appear in the new episodes.
It appears that Made in Chelsea star Bella Sharpe has quit the reality series after one year, following her split with Reza Amiri-Garroussi during filming in Sydney.
While it has yet to be officially confirmed that Sharpe has left the show, she was noticeably absent from the recently announced cast list for season 27. When approached by RadioTimes.com, Channel 4 declined to comment.
Viewers witnessed tense scenes on the show last year, after Bella, Reza and Ruby Adler were caught up in a messy love triangle, with Bella ultimately telling Reza: "We don't need to speak ever again."
A source told MailOnline that Bella didn't want to continue on the show now that she and Reza are no longer together, and she instead wants to focus on her fashion career.
The publication also noted that she had called filming on the show "anxiety inducing" and previously said that she didn't want to be starring in the show past the age of 30.
