Channel 4 reality star QUITS show after three series as a judge before swiping it ‘isn’t worth it anymore’
A CHANNEL 4 reality star has quit her role as a judge on one of the network’s most popular programmes after admitting it ‘wasn’t worth it’.
Rose Schmits was revealed to have walked out on The Great Pottery Throw Down after three years on the show.
A post from the show’s official social media channels was the first to announce her exit before Rose quickly swooped in to offer some clarification over her exit.
Writing online, a post from the show read: “A massive thank you to @RoseKilnWitch who is leaving the show after four series as our kiln tech.
“Rose has fired everything from jugs to loos and done her utmost to protect the potters from the kiln gods.
“We wish you and your bow ties the best for the future.”
However, Rose was quick to clarify that she wasn’t axed and admitted she quit after the show became “not worth it”.
The star said: “This was fully my decision by the way, they did want me back but it just wasn’t worth it for me anymore.”
Quick to erase her from the show, Channel 4 soon shared an updated image which saw Rose replaced by returning show star Princess Fingall.
Princess was a contestant on last year’s edition and has now been chosen to join the line-up of experts full time.
Channel 4 said of Princess’ appointment: “We’re thrilled to welcome Princess back to The Great Pottery Throw Down as our new kiln technician.
“Princess joined us as a potter last series and has bags of experience as a studio technician and a very special way with clay.”
Despite this, fans could not help but express their sorrow at Rose’s exit – which left them feeling devastated.
One penned online: “Sad to see you’re leaving, Rose. You and your bow ties will be missed, good luck!”
Another added: “Sorry to hear this, she will be missed.”
As a third went on to say: “Good luck Rose in the next bit of your adventure, you will be hugely missed by Pottery Throw Down fans I’m sure x.”
As well as Princess, the line-up for the next series of the show will feature returning stars Richard Miller and Keith Jones.
