She was an OG star on the show

Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira has shocked fans as she revealed that she will not be returning to the HBO show for season three! After featuring in the series for two seasons, starring as Kat Hernandez, the actress has bid a teary-eyed goodbye to the show.

Fans were shocked by the news, which Barbie revealed on her Instagram yesterday (25th August). The 25-year-old wrote: 'After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I’m having to say a very teary eyed goodbye.

'I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today.'

As fans will know, Euphoria was the talk of the town earlier this year as season two began to be released. Despite her presence in the latest season being slightly more scarce, Barbie has featured in the show as main character Kat since season one, alongside huge names such as Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer and Jacob Elordi.

Kat was a body-conscious teen who was best friends with characters Maddy and Cassie, who - as fans will certainly remember - had a pretty huge tiff in season two.

Earlier this year, fans may have spotted rumours swirling that there were tensions on the set of the show, due to an alleged 'toxic' work environment - a by-product of late-night shoots to disorganised set days.

On top of that, rumours were rife that there was particular tension between show creator/director Sam Levinson and Barbie, however the actress later dismissed these, labelling the drama 'untrue'.

Although the cast for season three of Euphoria has not yet been confirmed, we expect to see the likes of Zendaya, who plays Rue, Alexa Demie, who plays Maddy, and Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate return to our screens.

But, sadly, it's time to say goodbye to Kat Hernandez! 💔
