Jazz Saunders breaks down in tears as she announces she's quit Made In Chelsea and says she needs to 'heal from traumas'

Made In Chelsea star Jasmine Saunders has announced she's leaving the show.

The reality personality, 25, who first appeared on the show in 2023, shared a post on TikTok revealing her decision to step away from the E4 programme.

Jasmine – known on the show as Jazz – broke down in tears as she told fans she needs to 'heal from traumas' and 'work on herself' outside of the show.

During this current series, Jazz introduced her girlfriend Eve Alero to the show and her friendship with Jack Taylor was put under strain due to him still being in contact with Inga Valentiner, who she had cut contact with after admitting her feelings.

The first part of Jazz's video was filmed in September, the morning after MIC filmed the finale for the current series, where she looked emotional.

Jazz said: 'It is the morning after filming the finale so this is September. But if I have posted it in a couple of months that means that I've stuck to what I've said here.

'If you're seeing this I've stuck with my decision, Jazz is crying again. I've been doing the show since 2023, over three years. I've had the best time.

'I joined just after graduating uni and I didn't have a clue what I was doing, it was only meant to be temporary. Figuring out my life on the show for the next three years. I've been in my fair of drama and found out who I was. I came out and had my first relationship. I had some messiness on the show after that.

'There comes a point where you have to step back and look at the bigger picture and step back and think am I still happy? So I think this is a goodbye, I need a break. I've decided to take a break and I don't know if that's going to be forever. It was just too much in the end.

'I am very open, maybe too open. I feel like I've given a lot.

'This has been very difficult and it's no ones fault. I love the team on the show. Thank you to the welfare team, it's been a ride. But unfortunately the bad stuff outweighs the good.

'Jazz needs to get back to doing Jazz, before all of this. It doesn't take away that that show has given me a lot. If it wasn't for the show I wouldn't be who I am today.

'I'm grateful for the platform and the team became my second family but it's for the best. Who knows what the future holds for Jazz. But I've got to get back on track and I need a break. But I appreciate anyone who has followed me on the show from the beginning.

'It's interesting to see who I was when I joined versus now, there's been a lot of changes so I want to look at what is the good and what's the bad.'

'Unfortunately I wasn't happy for a long time before coming to this decision. So we're taking a break, if you want to stick around I'll be here.'

A caption appeared on screen which said: 'Maybe one day I'll feel ready to share my truth but I'm not ready yet.'

In the second part of the clip which was taken yesterday, Jazz told fans: 'It's today! I just wanted to emphasise that I am in a much happier place than I was when that video was taken. It was taken months ago and so many improvements have happened since then. 

'Who knows what the future holds but I know I need to put in the work to heal from certain things and certain traumas before I get back into that space. Fingers crossed one day I'll make an appearance, I wouldn't turn down a scene with Jules. 

'But for right now I need to take a step back, but I'm in a much happier place and I hope that only goes up.

'Maybe one day I'll go back, maybe one day I won't. I wrestle every day with if I want to go back but I know I need to put in the work now and get back to a really good place before I go back. Fingers crossed, who knows.

'That girl (Jules) has been my absolute ride or die and I couldn't have done it without her, I want to support her in any way possible in the future if she ever needs me in that capacity.'

Jazz received supportive messages from fans in the comments section who applauded her for taking time.

In August, eight months on from her split from ex TOWIE star Demi Sims, Jazz revealed she was now dating stunning model Eve.

The couple enjoyed Brighton Pride over the weekend and Jazz took to TikTok to share clips of them together – including the loved-up pair passionately locking lips.

Jazz looked incredible in a skimpy black bikini top and glittery hot pants as she displayed her impressive gym-honed physique.  

It comes after the pair enjoyed a trip to Mauritius together last month, but remained coy on their romance.

Eve is a top model and has even appeared in Vogue spreads, while also working as an influencer. 

It remains to be seen if Eve will appear with Jazz on the next season of Made In Chelsea, which just wrapped filming a summer special in Dorset. 

Back in December, Jazz and Demi revealed they'd split after ten months together.

The pair started dating in March 2025 after Jazz publicly came out as gay on social media, but both shared on Instagram Stories that their 'beautiful' relationship was over.

In her post, Jazz said she was 'forever grateful' to Demi for supporting her during her 'personal journey', and praised her for being her 'rock' during challenging times.

Demi then shared her own emotional post announcing the split, saying there's still 'so much love' between them, and admitting she's going through a 'really heavy time' since their relationship ended.

Jazz wrote: 'Hey everyone. I never thought I'd have to write something like this on a public platform, but since I've been so open with you guys about my journey, it only feels right to let you guys know that Demi and I have decided to part ways after a beautiful 10 months together.

'I am forever grateful to Demi for being the biggest support throughout my personal journey, best girlfriend and rock through some really challenging moments. I couldn't have done it without her.

'We are both going to be spending some time off of socials, so please respect our privacy at this time, we'll be back soon.'

Meanwhile Demi posted: 'It pains my heart to write this... After the most beautiful 10 months together, Jazz and I have decided to go our separate ways.

'There is still so much love between us, a real gentle kind of love that doesn't disappear just because life changes direction. I'll forever be grateful for the memories we made, the joy she brought into my life, and the way we cared for each other.

'I also want to say how thankful I am for Jasmine's family. They welcomed me with open arms and showed me nothing but kindness I'll always hold that close.

'This is a really heavy time, so I kindly ask for a bit of privacy and understanding while we both try to navigate this chapter. I'll be stepping away from socials for a little while to heal and find my feet again.

'She was my almost forever. And I'll always be grateful for her.'

Made In Chelsea viewers saw Jazz and Demi's romance play out on the show, but it wasn't smooth sailing, with tensions growing in their relationship after Jazz's pal, Jules Pollard, expressed her concerns about the relationship.

Discussing the fallout, Jules told Heat Magazine in October: 'It's been really difficult the last few months, having to film about it, because it's so real for me and it's so real for her – and Demi as well.

'So I think talking about something that genuinely means so much to you has been really tough, especially doing it on camera, it's been tough, but I felt like I would want my best friend to be honest with me.' 

Jazz, who joined MIC last year, only came out in a social media post in early March.

The last season saw her discuss her split from Demi, before growing close to Inga Valentiner, until they decided to remain friends rather than explore things romantically.
