A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Lauren knows she is not an integral part of Towie any more, so she’s decided to jump ship.
'An opportunity to do Dancing On Ice came along and she's jumped at the chance.'
However, the door will always be open for her to return in the future with an insider telling Mail Online: 'The show has an open door policy now that will allow stars to come and go.
'We might even see Mark Wright return properly one day. We feel this evolves the show and keeps the format and genre fresh.'
Lauren hopes that she will be able to convert the public into liking her after they see a different side to her with the help of former Olympic skaters Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Since starting on the show in October 2010 viewers have watched Lauren's troubled love life with Essex bad boy Mark Wright - even resulting in a brief engagement.
The pair split but Lauren has continued to profess her love for her ex constantly, even though she has had fleeting dates with other co-stars, namely Tom Pearce.
