Chloe Sims is taking a break from ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
The 35-year-old reality TV star – who has appeared on the show since 2011 – will be noticeably missing from the forthcoming series of the programme this year because she wants to focus on finding the love of her life on ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
A source told The Sun Online: "Chloe is taking a step back from ‘TOWIE’ this season as she’s very busy filming for ‘Celebs Go Dating’. That means she won’t film as many scenes in Essex this series. She’ll still be popping in from time to time as her ‘Celebs Go Dating’ schedule allows. Chloe still has a lot of friends on the show and she’ll make an appearance to support her close friends.
"She’ll also be in Gemma Collins’ new show so it’s not like she’ll disappear from ‘TOWIE’ altogether. Chloe will be back as soon as her schedule allows her to – and hopefully she’ll have found someone special on ‘Celebs Go Dating’ too."
The blonde beauty – who has a daughter called Madison from a previous relationship – hasn’t had much luck on the dating scene over the years and decided to sign up to the match-making programme in the hope that she will find the man of her dreams.
An insider said previously: "Bosses have wanted Chloe on ‘Celebs Go Dating’ for ages so to get her name in the mix has been a real coup.
"She’s been in for loads of meetings and has finally agreed to be a part of the line-up. She’s really excited about going on there and hopes she can find a real man.
"Her relationship with Adam Oukhellou didn’t really get off the ground so she’s hoping this could be the moment she finds the one."
Chloe previously confessed she thought she’d be married by now.
Speaking back in September, she said, when asked where she sees herself in five years from now: "I have no idea. Five years ago I thought I’d be married off by now. It’s easier and more convenient to have a boyfriend on the show. I’ve had to face most of my dramas by myself."
