"That's probably what she's always wanted, to be honest," Ricky told new! magazine.
"I think she suits a footballer", he sniped.
The latest word on the TOWIE rumour mill, is that show favourite Jess Wright is to quit the show for pastures new.
According to The Sun, the 29-year-old is to follow in her brother Mark's and cousin Elliott's footsteps, and strike out alone.
The source said:
“Jess has had a great run and it has opened a lot of doors for her.
"She’s got a successful swimwear collection with Ann Summers, a deal to write novels and now she’s looking at other options in television.
"She’s always wanted to give presenting a go and has built up a good set of contacts to make it happen. There is plenty to keep her busy."
Jess, who has started dating footballer Connor Wickham, dated Ricky Rayment on and off for two years on the show.
Following their fiery split, Ricky agreed to leave TOWIE 'by mutual consent,' after starting a romance with Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson.
And Jess and Ricky's feud has continued online.
24-year-old Ricky gave a rather unflattering interview seemingly aimed at his ex, stating:
'Sometimes you think you love someone, but you don't.'
Jess then appeared to retaliate on Instagram, sharing an image with the words:
'There is no greater pillar of stability than a STRONG, FREE and EDUCATED woman.'
So far Jess has kept shtum on the TOWIE exit rumours. Don't leave Jess!
