Tommy Mallet confirms he’s QUIT Towie to escape all the ‘ag and swearing’ and concentrate on his business
TOMMY Mallet has revealed he has quit The Only Way Is Essex.
The footwear boss, 25, has been on the reality show for almost four years, but after a number of rocky storylines he’s decided to step away from the “ag” and concentrate on his businesses.
He told The Daily Star: “I owe a lot to the show and I will always be part of it but it’s time to concentrate on my businesses.
“I’m working two jobs and I’m in big important meetings one day and on Towie the next getting ag, swearing and calling someone something too rude to print!”
Tommy is never seen far from girlfriend and cast mate Georgia Koulsoulou, and she insists that she’ll be going nowhere.
“I joined the show on my own so I will definitely stay,” she revealed.
“I love filming and I love getting involved.”
Just a month ago Tommy sparked worry among fans that he’d quit the show after he lashed out on social media following accusations that he and Georgia were “bullying” Megan McKenna.
Taking to Twitter, he fumed: "After watching that scene... the only way is Essex can go f*** themselves... Thats all I'm saying..."
He quickly deleted the post but went on to suggest he would now focus solely on his growing footwear brand.
"I think nows the time to go do what I've got to do with my own life...," wrote Tommy.
He continued: "It's mad... How boring would the show be if someone never spoke out of turn like I do?"
The annoyed Essex lad revealed trolls had been repeatedly calling him fat, before writing: "F*** this I gotta go do what's right for my company... & the things that actually mean something and make me proud.
"& before you drop the jealousy card to me.. I became comfortable for life when I was 24 years old.. if you get me.
"I'm as real as they come.. I could of proposed to G for air time & magazine deals.. I've stayed true.. never sold my soul to no one."
He appeared to soften later in the night, suggesting people will change their opinion of him soon enough and he followed it by sending his love to the "real fans".
