Vicky Pattison is to say an emotional farewell to her 'Geordie Shore' co-stars in tonight's (16.12.14) episode.
The 27-year-old beauty announced earlier this year she had quit the MTV reality series and the scenes in which she breaks the news to fellow stars including Holly Hagan, Charlotte Crosby, Scott 'Scotty T' Timlin and Gary 'Gaz' Beadle are set to air tonight.
She says: "Today has been so lovely and looking round this table I love every single person here in their own way, which is why what I'm about to say is so hard...
"I promised I couldn't leave you and I said I'd come back... but I can't stay. I've loved every single minute of doing this with you but unfortunately for me, it's over."
Vicky - who was believed to have quit the show to spend more time with boyfriend James Morgan before they split last month - admitted she felt like she'd outgrown the show, but her co-stars confess they can't imagine carrying on without her.
Scott says: "I'm literally f*****g devastated. I can't believe she's actually leaving and I don't know what to say."
Charlotte adds: "How can she leave us? She's like our sister and I can't imagine going one day in this house without her."
The brunette beauty says her final goodbyes and reveals she's hoping to move on to bigger and better things.
She says: "This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. Although I love everyone there, it's just not for me anymore."

Maria Fowler has been assaulted in a "random attack".
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star was left bloodied and bruised after being involved in an altercation following a night out in her hometown of Derby on Saturday night (13.12.14).
Confirming an assault took place at 2.30am on Sunday (14.12.14) in Becketwell Lane, Derby Police told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We are investigating an assault on a 28-year-old woman."
Meanwhile, a representative for the brunette beauty - who previously dated 'Geordie Shore' star Vicky Pattison's ex-boyfriend James Morgan - has revealed she's still feeling shaken after the attack.
They said: "Maria is still in shock so won't be commenting at the moment. However, it was a random attack."
The 28-year-old star has broken her silence on her Twitter with a number of messages, including one in which she admits she's "felt better".
She wrote: "Thankyou for all the messages. I have the best people around me (sic)."
Maria also posted an image of an inspirational quote, insisting she won't let the brutal attack get her down.
The quote reads: "Don't let anyone ever break your soul. You have to stand on your own two feet and stand up for yourself. There are those would give anything to see you fail, but you must never give them the satisfaction. Hold your head up high, smile and stand your own ground."
The incident this weekend is not the first time Maria - who confesses she's "overwhelmed" by the messages of support she's received - has been the victim of an attack, however.
Writing on Twitter in February, she said: "In the past two weeks I have been glassed by a man and also verbally abused when out and never received hostility like that before."

Rylan Clark has likened his time on 'Celebrity Big Brother' to "rehab".
The 26-year-old star won the show in January 2013 and it's been confirmed that he'll return to host CBB spinoff 'Bit on the Side' in January.
However, he's warned prospective house-mates to think carefully before joining the show, asking: "Do you want the experience? Are you doing it for money? Are you doing it to start a career or are you doing it to end a career? Are you confident enough in yourself as a person to be under a microscope 24 hours a day?
"In Big Brother every single inch of that house is covered. So I treated Big Brother as rehab - it was exactly what I needed.
"I was the most famous man in the country at that point; I needed to be locked up and it was either that or The Priory and I chose Big Brother! It was the best decision I have made in my life. A lot of people go in there at the end of their career. I went in there before I even had one."
Rylan, who finished in fifth place on the ninth series of 'The X Factor' in 2012, said he gets annoyed when he hears people complain about their time in the house.
He reflected: "If you don't enjoy it, don't do it. It is that simple because the last thing we want is to see people moaning all the time.
"For five minutes it's funny, but for weeks it's not. Don't waste that place for someone else. I would hate it if I'm watching Celebrity Big Brother and people are like, 'I don't really want to be here'. You have to be invited and if you're not invited, you're not going in. Enjoy it, you've been chosen."

Binky Felstead is looking for a man who "keeps me on my toes".
The 24-year-old beauty admits she's moved on from her ex-boyfriend Alex Mytton and now has her eyes set on a very different type of man.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star was asked to describe her ideal man and she replied: "Someone with a lot of personality, loved by everyone, a country boy at heart, a bit of a laugh and who doesn't mind if I don't wear make-up!"
Binky, who was left heartbroken when she learned her ex-boyfriend had cheater on her, admits trust is an incredibly important issue.
She reflected: "I like someone who keeps me on my toes a bit, but also someone I can trust, who will contact me every day, so I'm not left wondering, 'Where is he?' 'What's he doing?' Someone who's going to cheat on you - that's not what you want."
Binky added that although she doesn't go to many clubs and bars, she still attracts plenty of male admirers on social networks.
She told Star magazine: "I don't go out often, but I do get tweets - I've had a few proposals."

Sam Faiers is feeling "broody".
The 'Only Way is Essex' star may be single after splitting from Joey Essex in October but her older sister Billie - who has five-month-old daughter Nelly with fiance Greg Shepherd - says she is keen to have children.
Billie said: "It would be so nice for Sam and I to have kids that are similar in age so they can grow up together and be good friends.
"Sam's recently single, so I know it's not really the right time for her, but she loves spending time with Nelly and I think she's getting broody."
And Billie, 24, has vowed to give Sam, 23, parenting advice when she does start her family.
She added: "I'm going to be that interfering person who tells her how she should do things and giving her tips she doesn't want."
The sisters recently enjoyed a holiday in Dubai with Greg, Nelly, their mum Suzanne Wells and friends Jess Wright and Ferne McCann, but Billie admits she didn't do much partying, though she didn't mind.
She told Closer magazine: "Having Nelly with me meant I had to be responsible but I didn't feel like I was missing out.
"Each morning everyone would be suffering with hangovers while I was down the pool feeling fresh as a daisy."

Ben Haenow will propose to his girlfriend in 2015.
The 29-year-old star was crowned winner of the 11th series of 'The X Factor' yesterday (14.12.14) and has revealed his new-found fame hasn't changed how he feels about his partner of six years, whom he hopes to wed in the near future.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning' about asking Jessica Jones for her hand in marriage, he said: "Yeah I'm going to. I don't want to give too much away... but it's definitely going to happen in the New Year, there's a lot of crazy stuff happening at the moment so we'll just have to see where it leads."
However, the singer's 27-year-old girlfriend has revealed she doesn't want him to feel he has to propose to her just because of media attention, and knows he will only pop the question when it's right for the both of them.
She explained: "I don't want Ben to feel pressured by anything or anyone about proposing.
"But when the time is right it will happen, and when it does, I'd like it to be private and nothing too glitzy."
While discussions of wedding plans may be on the cards, the blonde beauty - who revealed the couple's first date was a candlelit McDonald's meal - admits they haven't been able to see each other much in the last few months.
She confessed to MailOnline: "We haven't had time for date nights recently.
"It has been hard not seeing him and contact has been difficult as he is so busy, but he calls and texts whenever he can and I always get a call before bed which is lovely.
"He's been very good at keeping me as involved as much as possible and he's so down to earth - he has stayed very grounded throughout the whole competition."

Caroline Flack has suggested her ex-boyfriend is responsible for their break-up.
The former 'Xtra Factor' presenter split from music manager Jack Street earlier this month and while it initially seemed to be a mutual decision, she's now hinted he may be to blame.
In a post she's now deleted on Twitter, she wrote: "@jackb_street easing your guilt??? Fill yourself with glee jack. (sic)"
The 35-year-old's comment came after Jack showed his support for his former girlfriend by telling people to vote for her and her professional dance partner Pasha Kovalev on BBC One ballroom dance contest 'Strictly Come Dancing' last night (14.12.14).
He wrote: "Vote for @carolineflack1 6225210. You'd be silly not too. (sic)"
Caroline and Jack, 26, first started seeing one another 18 months ago but were believed to have gone their separate ways due to Caroline's busy Strictly training regime and Jack's hectic schedule managing up-and-coming British singer Sam Smith.
The apparent fall-out between Caroline and Jack follows reports Caroline's dance partner Pasha's girlfriend Rachel Riley - with whom he competed on the show last year - is finding it difficult to watch her beau dance with another woman.
A source told the Sunday People newspaper: "While Rachel completely trusts Pasha, it's a difficult thing to watch your partner spending so much time so close to someone else - especially when they are so flirtatious.
"Dancing requires a real chemistry which is why they've got so far in the competition - but it's tough for somebody to watch from the sidelines."

Ed Sheeran is no longer tempted to appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 23-year-old singer has confessed he was interested in the BBC One ballroom dancing competition before he starred in the music video to his hit single 'Thinking Out Loud' as he wanted to learn to dance, but now insists he'd have no reason to appear.
He explained: "I think for me Strictly was tempting before I'd done [the Thinking Out Loud video] just to learn how to dance and that would be the only reality show that would be tempting.
"I could learn how to dance and that would be a thing to do ... Now I've done it there's nothing left to prove for me. I've done it, I know it was hard. I don't think I could do it week in and week out and be judged on it."
The 'Sing' hitmaker impressed fans with his moves alongside professional dancer Brittany Cherry when the video to his Number 1 single was released earlier this year and he's confessed he always knew it would go down well.
He told Yahoo Celebrity: "I knew the song could be big if it had the right viral push. To get songs on radio now they have to be buzzing on the internet before so I thought that if I do a music video that I'm not only in but I'm doing something that everyone will talk about and share and be like, 'How did he learn this?' Then it would push the song out and for me it's the most important song on the album.
"It's the song that is selling the album and breaking me in different countries so I wanted it to have a music video that would do the same. It's definitely aimed towards a target audience."

Kieron Richardson says his 'Hollyoaks' wedding was a "dress rehearsal" for his own nuptials.
The 28-year-old actor plays Ste Hay in the Channel 4 soap and is set to marry John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) in the first ever on-screen gay church wedding and he's confessed he used filming the scenes as practice for his upcoming wedding to fiance Carl Hyland.
He joked: "It is a little dress rehearsal for me in real life. But I have learned not to have any McQueens at my real wedding!"
Kieron is thrilled to be involved in the scenes, which will air at Christmas, as he claims he usually doesn't feature at all let alone star in the festive specials.
He shared: "Every other year I have missed out on the big Christmas episode so a full show dedicated to Ste and John Paul's wedding I feel privileged to be a part of it."
Ste is also set to be the focus of even more storylines as he is set to discover he's HIV positive.
Kieron - who has starred as Ste for seven years - added to The Sun newspaper: "They keep saying it is the storyline of the year. I am very pleased but I'm very nervous, too. It will get people talking and hopefully change people's opinions."
