The model declared that she couldn't understand why Wright would leave TOWIE for a spot in the jungle given the ITV2 structured reality show's "huge following".

"The jungle gets millions more viewers than us, but TOWIE has a huge following," she told New magazine. "Why would someone leave something so big, so soon?"
Faiers also cleared up speculation about her own future on the show, saying: "I want to stay for one more series. I've been in TOWIE since day one and there are only a few originals left.
"I'd like to be the last original left on the show and then go onto something bigger and better... I'd love to do something like Strictly Come Dancing - getting fit, dressing up and getting girly."
Kirk Norcross and James 'Arg' Argent are among the TOWIE cast members reportedly considering quitting, while Harry Derbidge, Maria Fowler, Lauren Pope and Faiers herself are apparently candidates to be axed.
