BOBBY Berk has announced his departure from Queer Eye.
Bobby, 42, admitted his decision to quit was difficult after six years.
He explained his exit in a lengthy Instagram post: “The love that I have received from you all over the last 6 years has been absolutely surreal.
“You have tuned in and been dedicated fans and together we were able to share the healing powers of design.
The Netflix star continued: “I learned from you all about kindness, love, and acceptance, and that has changed my life for the better.
“The way you have embraced me and accepted me for who I am is something that l will truly carry with me for the rest of my life.”
Bobby thanked the audience: “Throughout these years, you, the die-hard fans of Queer Eye, have all shared so many stories with me about how the show has touched your lives and I could not be more grateful to each and every one of you for being brave enough to share your experiences.”
The Queer Eye star concluded: “It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that season 8 will be my final season on Queer Eye.
“It’s not been an easy decision to be at peace with, but a necessary one. Although my journey with Queer Eye is over, my journey with you is not.
“You will be seeing more of me very soon.”
The photo collection included behind-the-scenes photos with co-hosts Tan France, 40, Karamo Brown, 43, and Antoni Porowski, 39.
