Francesca "Cheska" Hull left the show in 2014 and went on to co-found Big Smoke PR.
Taking to Instagram, the reality TV star confirmed she and young son Charlie are moving to Phuket, Thailand.
Cheska shared a short video revealing the news - with the pair saying they "can't wait".
She captioned: "Exciting news! Charlie and I are moving to Phuket!
"I was born in Thailand, and a big piece of my heart has always belonged to the 'Land of Smiles', so this move feels like I'm moving to my 'home from home'.
"We are beyond excited to start this next chapter, setting off at the end of the month!
"Whilst we'll miss beautiful Devon and our family & friends, we're so ready for this new adventure in a place that already feels like ours.
"Can't wait to share all that's to come!
"Really hope to have people's love and support in a huge but wonderful decision we are making that we feel is the right thing to do."
One of Cheska's followers commented: "That's so exciting!! What an adventure. I hope it's all you could hope and dream of xxxx."
Another added: "Exciting news! Good luck."
While a third chimed in: "Love Phuket, wonderful news, how exciting."
The news comes less than a year after Cheska's shock split from her former fiancé.
Last September, it was confirmed she and Damian Crook had parted ways.
Cheska had been with father-of-three Damian for 11 months when he got down on one knee, but insiders revealed it was all over.
A source told MailOnline: "Cheska and Damian remain friends rather than partners.
"Their lives were on different trajectories, but they still respect and care for each other.
"The children are and always will be their priority."

Princess Andre shrugs off mum Katie Price and dad Peter's feud as she returns to social media amid slanging match
PRINCESS Andre has shrugged off her mum and dad's feud by returning to social media hours after Peter's bombshell statement. Princess, 18, is currently caught up in between her mum and dad's public slanging match. 4 4 Katie Price, 47, and Peter Andre, 52, are at loggerheads after their rift exploded on Thursday evening. The former couple were married with two children, Princess and Junior, before their bitter split in 2009. And now, after the shocking revelation of Peter having had Princess and Junior in his care since 2018 now coming to light, the young reality starlet is shaking off the drama. Taking to her Instagram stories amid the public feud between her mum and dad, Princess seemed unfazed as she shared what she was watching with her fans. Princess shared a photo of her television, with what appeared to be the hit Netflix series Ginny and Georgia. Alongside the snap, she penned: "I'm so so so obsessed with this show rn." Princess' post came just mere hours after her dad Peter revealed that she and her brother Junior were placed in his care seven years ago "for their safety". Taking to Instagram, Peter spoke out just hours after Katie said she had made contact with him after their fallout over daughter Princess. In the statement shared on his social media page, Peter penned: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones. "But staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today." Princess Andre takes TWO subtle swipes at mum Katie Price as she reveals what she will NEVER do to follow in her footsteps He continued: "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. "I have never made this public before out of respect for my children." Pete went on: "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. "She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. "The same falsehoods are being repeated today." He concluded: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." Pete spoke out after the former glamour model insisted that she's a "bloody good mum" to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all. Katie said on her recent podcast: "There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her. Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. "I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. "I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. "All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. "And my mum and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. "And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much." She concluded: "Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. "For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. "Do you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families." 4

'But I saw a clip on Instagram where someone said, "The best thing I ever had is being called Dad." I was like, "Oh, wouldn't that be cool?" So now I'm so down for it. I would like to have loads.' Jamie added he would be up for four kids, with Sophie sweetly agreeing.

Inside Strictly's Vicky Pattison's years-long feud with Sam Thompson after she branded him an 'entitled rat' despite both being pals with Pete Wicks
Strictly Come Dancing's newest signing Vicky Pattison 's years-long feud with ITV star is revealed after she branded him an 'entitled little rat'. The Geordie Shore star, 37, has been a regular on the reality TV circuit along with Made In Chelsea alum Sam Thompson, 33, for over a decade. But they have also clashed multiple times in the past with Vicky eventually blocking Sam for five years. Despite the pair both being best friends with former Strictly star Pete Wicks, the two reality stars have stayed firmly out of each other's way over the years. It all kicked off in 2017 when Vicky criticised Sam's sister, Louise Thompson, over a video of her working out on holiday. Chatting to Now magazine about Louise's videos with personal trainer boyfriend Ryan Libbey, Vicky joked: 'I tell you what, you won't catch me doing anything like that. 'Louise is getting a lot of column inches, but I find her brother Sam more entertaining. I always thought he was a bit wet on Made In Chelsea, but he's hilarious. 'Nobody can dispute Louise is in amazing nick and her fella looks like The Hulk. But doing that on holiday with a camera crew? It's not achievable or attainable. She looks incredible, but I couldn't imagine anything worse.' The comments prompted Sam to defend his sister as he hit back in a video of his own, saying only he was allowed to mock his sister. The pair clashed over the comments which escalated to Vicky blocking Sam on social media - while last for five years. Within the five years, things got more heated between the pair when Sam appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and viewers saw him get upset after he was warned in the Diary Room for flicking fellow housemate Jemma Lucy's nipple. Vicky made an appearance on Big Brother's Bit on the Side at the time and slammed his behaviour, she said: 'I think there are two ways to look at this. 'One, he got upset because he knew it was a joke, Jemma knew it was a joke and he didn't mean any offence by it. 'Secondly, because he's an entitled little rat who is used to always getting what he wants.' Despite Sam and Vicky both being friends with Pete, they have managed to keep out of each others way and have rarely been seen in the same room at the same time. Vicky eventually lifted the block on Sam in 2022 after they unexpectedly bumped into each other at a Harry Potter premiere. One of the few occasions when Sam and Vicky have been seen together was when she went to watch the live tour of Sam and Pete's podcast, Staying Relevant, at London's Hammersmith venue. However, everything wasn't smooth sailing for the star as when she turned up security first turned her away because her bag was too big. When she finally did appear on Staying Relevant in May this year, the awkward history was addressed. Vicky admitted she had blocked him all those years ago, while Sam said: 'I had no idea, until we met each other and I tried to find you on the app.' The trio laughed if off, with both appearing to have put the feud firmly behind them. Sources close to Vicky have now insisted she is friends with Sam. Vicky was the 11th celebrity to be announced to join the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing. The TV personalities identity was finally revealed during an announcement live on ITV's This Morning. She dramatically burst through a glittering paper blockage featuring the Strictly branding into the studio as her identity was revealed to viewers at home. 'I've not got high hopes for my dancing, I'm a drinker, not a dancer, drunk auntie dancing is me,' she cheekily quipped. Vicky went on to admit that she had no misconceptions about lifting the glitterball trophy at the end, insisting she doesn't think she will win. However, she still promised to work hard on the series and give it her all as she shared her excitement and nerves about signing up for the popular show. 'I am terrified, can you tell?' she told hosts Emma Willis and Craig Doyle. Of joining Strictly, Vicky added in a statement: ''I'm absolutely buzzing to be part of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up... but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified. I am a not a natural dancer! 'However, it's such an amazing opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone and to challenge myself in a completely new way and I just really hope I don't make too much of a fool of myself!'
