TOWIE star Billi Mucklow has reportedly quit the forthcoming series of the show to concentrate on running a new yoga studio in Loughton.
The 26-year-old appeared as Cara Kilbey's best friend, enjoyed a romance with Cara's brother Tom, and dazzled the likes of Joey Essex with her leg stretching skills.
But she has turned her attentions to Bikram Yoga Essex, which will open later this summer, and will not appear in the ninth series, currently filming in Marbella.
Bikram yoga is a series of 26 Hatha yoga beginners postures and breathing exercises is performed in a room of around 40°C.
During the 90 minute session each posture is designed to work out every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, organ and gland, whilst sending oxygenated blood around the whole of the body.
It reaches every cell and restores all systems to a healthy working order, just as nature intended.
Its health benefits are said to include the prevention of illness and injury, weight loss, and a limit to the effects of aging.
