With Amy Childs and Nicole Bass signed up (and our fingers still crossed for some kind of Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright reunion), TOWIE's tenth anniversary celebrations this autumn are set to be - quite frankly - LIT.
After Jess Wright recently hinted that the entire OG cast could reunite to toast to ten years of The Only Way is Essex, we've basically compiled a list of all the old reality telly lot we're desperate to see back on the show.
At the top of that list? Ferne McCann.
So, when we caught up with Ferne to celebrate the launch of her brand new fitness platform Embodyment, we just had to get the goss on a potential return.
WATCH: Ferne talks burpees and birthdays with heat
Asked if we can expect to see her join some of our fave OGs, Ferne told heat it was 'the worst show' for 'someone like her.'
She said: "I've not heard a thing [about returning]. No, I'm joking.
"TOWIE's where it all began for me; I wouldn't be sat here if it wasn't for that show and I've got a lot of fond, fun memories when I look back; but I feel like that chapter of my life's done.
"I've come out of my shell. I was in my early twenties and quite shamelessly wanting to be famous. I was so excited for the opportunity and went for it, all guns blazing.
"It's been nearly a decade. I've had a baby and I'm a different woman now."
GUTTED, but fair play.

She had a very short time on TOWIE after she was dubbed "just a f***ing extra" by Kirk - harsh, right?
20 of 20THE GLOW UP - Maria Fowler now
We use the term 'now" very loosely with Maria, this picture is from early 2017 - that's because we can't find any recent pics as she is keeping it on the down low. We do know that is she is a makeup artist now, she's married to Kelvin Batey and they're expecting their second child later this year.

Ferne continued: "I feel like that chapter of my life's done, but of course I'll be celebrating the tenth anniversary in some way shape or form.
"If I'm honest, I was actually undecided as to what I was going to do. I was going back and forth and asked my friends 'should I go back?'; but you'll be in a scene, drama will kick off and that brings me so much fear because I'm content and happy with my life.
"I'm drama-free and I'm an incredibly positive person. I want to channel that."
Asked if she'd be up for a cameo as an extra, Ferne explained: "If you were to say to me, ten years ago, 'Ferne, you're going to be an extra' I'd have been beside myself; but no."
Ferne, babes; you'll be missed. At least we're getting a new series of First Time Mum to keep us going, eh?
