Georgia Kousoulou is dropping some hints about which of her former co-stars are most likely to return to The Only Way Is Essex.

The cast of the ITVBe reality series has been in flux over the last few months, following the departures of Mario Falcone, Amber Dowding, Mike Hassini, Chris Clark and other long-time mainstays.

Georgia addressed the cast shake-up ahead of the launch of series 22, and admitted that there's one classic cast member who's unlikely ever to return to TOWIE.

"If I could have my old crew back – people like Kate [Wright] – I'd be so happy," she admitted. "But they left for a reason so in that respect I wouldn't want them to come back because I feel like with TOWIE once you've got to a place where it doesn't feel right for you, then you shouldn't be on it."

However, there is one familiar face that Georgia expects to see back on screens soon, albeit in a part-time capacity.

"I do think Danni [Armstrong] will come back and do more cameos, because that's her, she likes it," Georgia predicted.

Danielle Armstrong announced she was leaving TOWIE in late 2016, explaining that it was time to walk away from the series because she'd finally had "closure" with on-off boyfriend James 'Lockie' Lock.

The Only Way Is Essex sends the cast to Barcelona for the series 22 premiere, airing on Sunday (March 25) at 9pm on ITVBe.
