TOWIE alumni Sam Faiers is not interested in attending the show's ten-year reunion celebration.
Most of the big-name stars from over the years are expected to take part in the get together, planned for October.
Bosses wanted original Sam, 29, to make a brief appearance.
The show has helped earn her nearly £10million already thanks to book deals, a TV series, a clothing line as well as her own perfume brand.
Only Gemma Collins and Mark Wright can rival her post-TOWIE earnings, it is reported.
But despite being one of TOWIE's biggest ever earners, she will shun the reunion according to The Sun on Sunday.
“I won’t be getting involved - to be honest, I’m at a completely different stage in my life now," she said.
“I don’t even know what I would do on there any more.
“I’ve got my own life with my kids. TOWIE is ten years ago for me. You just can’t compare my life then to my life now.”
Sam starred in 11 series of the reality show but won't be returning.
She added: “Being on The Only Way Is Essex was my first big thing I’d ever done and it was so successful and so great but if someone had told me when I was 19 that ten years later I’d be living the life I am now."
Ferne McCann has become the latest cast member to have her say.
She won't rule out joining up and told Closer that she is still mulling over the offer.
It comes after Amy Childs confirmed she's returning.
"TOWIE is a big part of my life and it was the start of my whole career and I have a lot of fond memories of where it all began," Ferne explained.
"And off the back of that I got the jungle in I'm A Celebrity and also I wouldn't be sat here today if I didn't join the cast of TOWIE – however I very much feel like that chapter is done."
"I don't know... I haven't even made a decision.
