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."

YouTuber leaves blind date red-faced after making two awkward gaffes in seconds
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video YouTuber Mark Ferris is left blushing on a first date on Channel 4 tonight, as he makes an unintentional double entendre to his dinner partner Chris. The content creator might be familiar to some, as he's close friends with fellow YouTubing vloggers Zoella and Alfie Deyes. With 669,000 subscribers to his YouTube account and another half a million on Instagram, Mark is on tonight's episode of First Dates hoping to find love, after a history of heartbreak and no official boyfriend (for now at least!). In a first look clip exclusively shared with the Metro, Mark, 34, sat down for his first date and asked his maybe-Mr-Right Chris, a 42-year-old globe-trotting cruise brand manager, whether he had ever been on a date before. In the first of a series of blunders, Mark realised his mistake (Chris is in his forties and so has almost certainly been on a date…) and quickly clarified he means *first* date, not just a regular date. Chris explained he probably hadn't been on a blind date since he was at university. Undeterred, Mark ploughed on, telling Chris: 'For so long, I tried to be someone for someone else. So now I'm 100% myself. I go in balls deep, guns blazing.' As Mark blushed, realising the unintentional innuendo in his comment, he added: 'Take the first thing I just said out. I go in guns blazing.' We will have to tune in to Channel 4 tonight to see where, if anywhere, the date could go next for Mark. Presided over by maître d' and host Fred Sirieix in the London restaurant, Mark told the cameras he's very much a romantic on the hunt for true love.

I'm a Libra. More Trending 'In a coffee shop. I'm like, all these bloody imaginations of just meeting someone, like, oh my god, I'm gonna go into a library – I don't even read – bending down, bumping heads or reaching for the same thing. 'I can't help it. I know I'm so delusional, but that's the sort of love that I aspire to have.' View More » First Dates is at 10pm on Channel 4 and you can catch up on Got a story?

Edinburgh tattoo artist who started working in studio on a whim found social media fame
'As an artist, my gallery walks around, gets up and leaves – my work is somewhere in the world, living a life and interacting with other people.' An Edinburgh tattoo artist who found fame online after showcasing his colour realism portraits of people and animals says he "can't believe" he has a career where people pay him to draw pictures. David Corden, 53, showed a talent for lifelike drawing from a young age. He only found his way into the tattoo industry on a whim before the 2008 financial crisis, after 15 years working as an engineer in London. Despite receiving a U grade in his A-Level art exam with criticism for his work being overly realistic, he has turned his passion into a full-time career. He later relocated to Edinburgh, and opened his own studio, Semper, in the Grassmarket area in August 2015. David is now an award-winning tattoo artist specialising in bringing faces to life, from celebrities and film characters to family members and pets. Some of his popular celebrity tattoos include Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Prince, and characters such as Princess Leia, Edward Scissorhands and Freddy Krueger. He now estimates he has completed 'well over 5,000' tattoos, and has made a name for himself in the industry. While he does not view himself as 'famous', his Instagram page where he shares his work has more than 180,000 followers, and he receives hundreds of likes and comments on his posts. He said: 'As an artist, my gallery walks around, gets up and leaves – my work is somewhere in the world, living a life and interacting with other people. 'Tattooing really is that cliche of if you find a job you love, you'll never work another day in your life. 'I meet other tattoo artists and we all say at some point, 'Can you believe we do this as a job? People are paying me to draw pictures'.' David has always had a passion for art and his talents were clear from a young age – although this did not always translate into good grades. He recalled: 'I had done art in school, I did it at A-Level but I got a U, which means ungraded.' 'When we queried it, they said it was because my work was so realistic, I may as well have handed in a photo – so that was a bad thing apparently.' He went on to art college to study graphic design and started working as an engineer for a ventilation company after finishing the course. He added: 'I had every intention of just working there for a year and then going back to do something in the art world, but 15 years later I was still there.' In the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis, David said work for the company became 'quieter and quieter', prompting him to find something else. A few years earlier, in 2002, David created and designed his first tattoo - a dragon he wanted on his arm - which he took to a studio in Kent. He said: 'The lead tattoo artist there told me it was the first time in years where he had ever been able to make a stencil from someone's drawing. 'We just hit it off and he remembered me as the guy whose picture he didn't have to redraw.' In 2006, David connected with the artist again, and he was asked if he would be interested in joining the team. He said: 'I just thought I can do 'mum' or 'dad', or 'love' and 'hate' on someone's knuckles – it's a bit arty, so why not.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

He started by working on the reception desk and shadowing tattoo artists while they worked. He later realised he had joined at the right time, after the industry "exploded" following the release of American reality series Miami Ink, and started seeing it as a career. David produced his first tattoo for his cousin, who requested a portrait of actor Jack Nicholson from The Shining, asking for the famous 'Here's Johnny' look. 'I wasn't confident, but I wasn't as nervous as I expected to be,' David said, adding that the tattoo was a success. Years later, David was on a trip to Edinburgh when he instantly felt an emotional connection to the city – and he took the decision to relocate, before opening his own studio. Speaking about his realism work, he said: 'Any interesting faces are always interesting to me – monsters in horror movies for example are great because they look so cool nowadays, they're so detailed and mad.' He added: 'I copy what I see, so if there's something in the picture, I'm going to put it on the skin. 'The thing that's come from years of experience is sometimes understanding the need to boost a particular colour or to boost all the contrast to bring it to life.' He shares his work with 181,000 followers on Instagram. One post showing a tattoo of the late actor John Candy as Uncle Buck in the hit 1989 comedy film gained more than 14,000 likes. David has made a name for himself within the tattoo industry, but he said he does not think of himself as 'famous'. He said: 'Fame to me is movie stars and musicians, but within the tattoo world, I guess that's the artists like me. 'My world has not changed, it's all very down to earth and normal. The fame bit happens online and the internet decides if it's successful.' David is attending the Big London Tattoo Show from September 19 to 21, which is set to feature 500 tattoo artists from around the world.
