A source said The sun: ‘Yaz knew filming Celeb Ex On The Beach would be a challenge as the whole point of the show is to create drama.

‘But within days of James arriving, she realized she couldn’t cope with being in the villa with him and decided to leave.

“She was willing to give up her time on the show for her own mental health. After everything she’s been through this past year, Yaz realizes that life is too short to be put in situations that make her unhappy or uncomfortable.”
