The 26-year-old star left the show in 2017 but will make her return next week after viewers got a glimpse of her in a teaser on the E4 show on Monday night (06.04.20).

Speaking to the Mail Online, she said: "I had a solid two years away from filming the show which actually has gone really quickly.

"But I have always kept in contact with the producers of the show, chatted to them every couple of months."

Her time away from the spotlight was a conscious decision - as she was dating a "private person" who didn't want publicity.

She added: "And then I was in a serious relationship. And he was a private person.

"And when you're on 'Made In Chelsea' it's not really fair unless you share your whole life.

"With that relationship I wasn't able to share that huge part of my life."

Having gone through an "intense" break-up with fellow cast member Sam Thompson during her time on the programme, Tiffany - who first appeared on our screens in 2014 - "needed" some time away.

She said: "I did really enjoy having a break. And I didn't know if I would ever come back to it. But when I left it was a needed break. I had gone through a break-up and it was very intense. I definitely needed space from that."

But Sam has since moved on with girlfriend Zara McDermott, and Tiffany - who is now single - doesn't anticipate any awkwardness with her ex.

She added: "It was fun to come back single! When I was first on it I was in a serious relationship.

"I got with Sam, we had a few breaks, but we were together the majority of the time we were filming.

"Since breaking up we might see each other, like we might bump into each other out and about. But when we do it's always friendly."
