![Elliott with the long-awaited licence!](http://theolivepress.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/elliott-with-licence-1-225x300.jpg)
AFTER two years I have finally called time on TOWIE.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience but I can’t progress any further on the show – plus my restaurant Olivia’s is obviously my main focus now.
Although I haven’t finished my TV career and there are things I’m looking at doing soon I’m ready to move on.
You won’t miss me too much… and the good news is I FINALLY have a licence for my restaurant… in hand… so shovels are back in the ground at last.
I was starting to feel like there were just too many hurdles to get over, but I persevered and the end is in sight!
Still no sign of Nick Knowles… I had hoped he was going to come and help me out with a 60 minute makeover, but I guess he’s got used to Spanish mañana manana … I’m still here Nick?
So let’s get the champagne on tap – the restaurant menus are written up and we have just signed a contract with Moet & Chandon who are sponsoring us with Ice Imperial.
In the meantime, my kids have flown over for a couple of weeks so it’s going to be tough being a single dad at the same time as opening the restaurant.
But I am sure they’ll be time to take a trip to the new Costa Water Park.
