Is season 8 Bobby Berk's last Queer Eye? Why Fab Five star quit
The TV star has quit the show after six years.
The Fab Five will be back on our screens for another season of Queer Eye – but this will be the last we see of one of the experts following Bobby Berk's decision to quit the show last year.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Bobby wrote: "It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that season 8 will be my final season on Queer Eye. It’s not been an easy decision to be at peace with, but a necessary one. Although my journey with Queer Eye is over, my journey with you is not. You will be seeing more of me very soon."
While Bobby has left the reality TV show - which sees the experts applying their respective expertise to help improve the lives of individuals across the US and Japan (for the spin-off) - Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown and Tan France are expected to return for season 9, which was confirmed last year.
Read on for everything you need to know about Bobby's exit.
