Former TOWIE star Shelby Tribble appears to have weighed in following the rumoured axe of 10 of her co-stars in a bid to 'freshen up' the reality show.

The reality personality, 28, took to Twitter on Thursday and wrote: 'Karma really is a wonderful thing', followed by a laughing face emoji, according to the Mirror.

Shelby and her beau Sam Mucklow, 29, bowed out of the show in 2019 to take the pressure off their romance, before later welcoming baby, Abel, eight months.

The mother-of-one has previously been outspoken about the 'fake show', as she claimed she is far happier after walking away from the drama of the ITVBe show.

Taking to Twitter in April last year, Shelby wrote: 'Honestly I'm so glad I pulled myself out of the reality TV world.

'Granted you get a few good ones but majority of them are fake as f**k and just all suck up to each other for attention it's embarrassing and makes me f**king cringe.

'I can't lick a**e to be liked I'd rather be real.'

Earlier on Thursday MailOnline revealed that TOWIE stars Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows are the biggest casualties in the ITVBe show's mass cull.

The best pals, who joined the series in 2015, have been dropped in a huge bid to breathe new life into the long-running reality series after a ratings slump.

Harry Lee, 26, Kelsey Stratford, 20, and Clelia Theodorou, 26, are also tipped to leave, while Chloe Brockett, 20, has confirmed she will remain in the cast.

MailOnline can confirm Amber Turner, 28, a divisive figure among fans, is safe, as well as TOWIE pals James Lock, 34, and Pete Wicks, 32, and long serving star Bobby Norris, 34.

Original cast member Amy Childs, 31, who rejoined the series in 2020, will also remain on the show, while her cousin Harry Derbidge, 27, has been given the boot.

A source said: 'Courtney and Chloe are gutted, they thought they were part of the furniture. But bosses feel the ruthless cull was needed to shake up the show.

'Many of the stars are yet to be told ahead of meetings scheduled with producers today and are preparing themselves for the worst. It will be devastating for so many of them.'

The axing of Courtney and Chloe comes after TOWIE bosses confirmed the next series of the reality show will focus on a 'smaller group of cast members.' 

MailOnline has contacted a TOWIE representative for comment.

Tom McDonnell, 26, who's close friends with Harry Lee, is also not returning to the series.   

Nicole Bass, has also been dropped, in a decision that has left her 'devastated.'

A source close to the star, 29, who first joined the show in 2015, and returned last year, told MailOnline she is disappointed bosses have let her go after she just rejoined the cast following a six-year absence. 

She confirmed on Instagram: 'I will not be on the next series of TOWIE. I went on to be with Olivia [Attwood] and Clee [Clelia Theodorou] and she got her own show that very same month. My group of girls are not part of the show either. I will miss a selective few though.'   

Ella Rae Wise, 21, has been let go from the series, after having an onscreen romance with Pete Wicks, who is 11 years her senior.

The reality star joined TOWIE in 2019, and most recently enjoyed a 'flirty relationship' with Pete, to the annoyance of his ex-Chloe Sims.

The last remaining TOWIE star to be given the chop is Rem Larue, 27, who dated Clelia. He was only on the show for one series.
