The reality TV star has appeared in five series of the show, but has apparently decided to walk away in order to pursue other career opportunities.

A source told the Star on Sunday newspaper: "Spencer won't return for the next series of 'Made In Chelsea' which has just started filming.

"It's a massive loss to the E4 show because Spencer is undoubtedly its biggest and best-known character. Viewers just love to hate him."

Spencer courted controversy last year when he was thrown off the ITV programme 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'.

His three-day stint in the Australian jungle came to an abrupt end when producers learned of his secret steroid addiction.

Since then, Spencer has kept a low profile, although his jungle pal Vicky Pattison recently revealed he was in Tanzania.

Speaking in December, Vicky said: "I still haven't managed to see Spencer yet because he's away in Tanzania teaching kids English and building an orphanage.

"He obviously felt really bad about everything, and wanted to get away and give something back."

Meanwhile, Spencer has maintained a silence on his social media pages since November.
