Lauren Conrad has revealed the reasons for her decision to quit MTV show The Hills after season five. The reality star-turned-designer got fed up of leading a double life and is looking forward to returning to normality.
She explained, "You see us on the show and we appear to have semi normal lives, but if you watch any entertainment news show, half of the cast is being swarmed by paparazzi. I'm excited to go back to having just one life, because there were times that I got them confused. I've spent the last five years making every decision be about the show. People I date have to be able to film, the places I work have to let us film and the places I live have to have set lighting. I loved doing it and had so much fun, but it came to a point where I had done it long enough."
The 23-year-old, who is currently dating actor Kyle Howard, also explained that at times she found being filmed 24/7 unbearable. She confessed, "There have been some scenes - extra scenes that'll probably never come out - of me getting upset and taking my mic off. I say, 'I'm done!' and lock myself in my room. There was a time when I was really stressed, and I would get sick a lot. I think I was sick of all of season three!"
