And there's another Essex lady ready and waiting to fill the void.
Don't worry, all's well in paradise.
Chantelle Houghton is just getting ready for motherhood by lightening her load and selling off her Buckhurst Hill boutique.
But which lucky Essex girl has snapped up the property?
It's only TOWIE star Lauren Goodger.
Lauren was spotted filming scenes for an upcoming episode of The Only Way Is Essex, in which she takes Chantelle's shop, Vardo, off her hands.
Chan opened the Buckhurst Hill boutique last April, but decided to close the store to concentrate on being a mum - she and fiance Alex Reid are expecting a baby in May.
But she's not too happy about Heat magazine suggesting that the shop's closure was down to poor sales.
She tweeted: "Just to let @heatworld know I've closed my shop due to being pregnant and wanting 2 take care of myself and my baby. Not cos it failed". (sic)
Got it, Chan.
Lauren turned up at her new shop with Lydia Rose Bright and her mum Debbie in tow.
Lydia runs her own Essex boutique, Bella Sorella, so perhaps Lyds was offering her pal a bit of friendly business advice.
The girls smiled for photographers and looked super-excited as they arrived at the property.
Cagefighter Alex was even spotted carrying boxes out of the shop and helping preggers Chantelle.
We reckon Lauren could call her new shop Lauren's Way - she already has a business selling a range of fake-tanning products under the name.
This has to be the oddest sale ever... but nevertheless, a whole shop selling TOWIE-approved fake tan? Let us know your opening date, Lauren, and we'll be there to stock up.
Come and buy the best fake tans in the Sky Living Shop.
