Back in January, The Sun Online exclusively revealed Marnie, 26, had decided to bow out of the cast.
She has now told fans her exit is permanent and explained she did not want to continue filming the series after so many of her friends had quit.
In a post on Twitter, she wrote: "For everyone keep asking I have in fact permanently left Geordie shore...
"It was just time to move on...
"It just wasn’t the same without everyone who left and I made the decision to leave...
"It was a wild 5 years and I’m really thankful I got to do it!"
A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "Marnie has loved her time on Geordie Shore but it's time for her to move on.
"She will still be around for this series but that's it - she won't return for the next...

"Marnie's got loads of exciting opportunities coming up including new TV shows so she won't be off screens for long.
"Her contact lens business is massively popular too.
"She's loved her time on Geordie Shore and it's given her an incredible platform, but now she wants to move on and start a new chapter in her life."
Marnie was one of the longest-serving cast members following the departure of stars including Charlotte Crosby and Gaz Beadle.
