Tanya Bardsley has confirmed that she will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Cheshire next season after fourteen seasons due to health issues.
During the RHOCheshire Season 14 reunion, which aired on Tuesday, December 21, Tanya broke down in tears as she confirmed her exit from the series.
"I'm having to take a step back from the show which I'm absolutely gutted about, because I absolutely love the show, and I love the crew. The crew are like family to me, and some of the girls."
She quickly added, "Not all of them."
According to the Daily Star, Bardsley decided to step away from the ITVBe hit reality series after battling with mental health issues behind the scenes - such as her ADHD diagnosis.
During the reunion, Tanya confessed that she's decided to "go back to having ADHD" as she's come off of her medication.
"I've just decided to go back to having ADHD - I've come off the pills. I'm still learning to navigate my health and stuff like that so I'm just going to be stepping back from Housewives and being the number one fan," she said, according to the Daily Star.
She did tease a possible future return to the popular show. She added: "You never know, one day I might be back..."
The former model also addressed her exit via her Instagram page. She captioned a clip of the reunion where she announced her depature.
