“I would like to say a big thank you to our loyal fans for all the support you have given us over the years. You have made the experience truly remarkable and we can’t thank you enough for being on this journey.”
Demi went on to tease that she was already turning her attentions towards a new career, as she hinted at “news coming soon”.
“Stay tuned as we can’t wait to share our next chapter with you all, news dropping soon,” she concluded. “Lots of love, Demi Sims.”
It comes after we exclusively revealed how the Sims sisters have been plotting to become the UK’s answer to the Kardashians.
The girls are in talks to go it alone away from their former Towie roles with a HUGE new reality TV show.
A source said: “There’s a lot of interest in Chloe, Demi and Frankie right now.
“Undoubtedly they are Towie’s biggest stars with Chloe being one of the longest-serving cast members but the idea is for them to get their very own Kardashian-style series.
“Their team has been meeting with TV bosses to discuss the potential show and, as Towie viewers will already know, there’s never a dull moment with them.”
Kardashian sisters Kim, 41, Kourtney, 43, and 37-year-old Khloe are some of America’s most famous faces thanks to 15 years of sharing their ups and downs on TV.
Chloe, 40, Demi, 25, and Frankie, 27, sparked speculation of tension with Towie when they pulled out of filming the new series opener in the Dominican Republic.
The Sun previously revealed the sisters informed bosses they wouldn’t be going just days before they were due to fly out.

An insider told how there had been disagreements over some of the new cast members and the Sims sisters’ absence did not go unnoticed.
The source said: “Every year the three sisters are top of the list of the returning cast. They’re the biggest characters who bring the sex appeal, glamour and good storylines.
“Everyone’s talking behind the scenes about why they’re missing.”
