Courtney Green takes a 'break' from The Only Way Is Essex
Reality star Courtney Green is stepping back from The Only Way Is Essex.
Courtney Green is taking "a break" from The Only Way Is Essex.
The 31-year-old reality TV star is set to take a step back from The Only Way Is Essex, after ten years on the ITV show.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Courtney has decided to take a break from Towie ahead of a busy time for her family and across her business ventures.
"After the last series she just decided that a break and a reset would be beneficial for her in all sorts of ways. But she’ll be back – this isn’t goodbye – she’s just opting for some time out."
Courtney split from businessman Callum Bushby in 2025, after a seven-year relationship.
The reality star first split from Callum in 2019, because he wasn't ready to settle down at the time.
A source told The Sun Online at the time: "Courtney has her heart set on getting married to Callum and having children with him.
"All her friends have started to have babies and it’s made her start thinking about her own future."
Courtney and Callum were reported to have had different priorities at the time.
The insider explained: "She wanted him to show commitment and move in together, but he didn’t want to. He’s only young and is still enjoying going out with friends with no strings attached.
"Courtney ended things, but she’s adamant he’ll come crawling back. She’s been going out with her friends and having fun to take her mind off the split, but Callum’s got no intention of getting back together."
Callum always remained off-screen because he wasn't keen to appear on The Only Way Is Essex.
The businessman "hated the idea of being on the show" and he didn't wish to be "judged" by TV viewers.
The source said: "He just wasn’t comfortable with being famous. He hated the idea of being on the show with Courtney and having their relationship judged on-screen."
