Kameran 'Kamie' Crawford shared a tearful statement on Thursday announcing her exit from co-hosting MTV's Catfish: The TV Show alongside Nev Schulman after six years of 'living my absolute dream.'

'It is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have decided to move on to my next adventure,' the 31-year-old presenter - who boasts 2M social media followers - wrote on Instagram.

'When I got an email in 2018 from an absolute stranger at Catfish's production department asking if I wanted to guest co-host two episodes of one of my favorite shows of all time, I never would've imagined the life, love, memories and worldwide support that it would've awarded me.'

Kamie stressed how grateful she was for 'every single moment spent traveling the country' and taping the reality show about the truths and lies of online dating, and helping people find love whether with a partner or themselves.

'My mom has always taught me that, "People may not always remember what you said, but they'll always remember how you made them feel,"' Crawford continued.

'The outpouring of love that I receive on a daily basis from Catfish fans around the world lets me know that I have done what I've always intended on doing, which is to leave every room a little bit brighter, warmer, and safer than when I entered.'

The Relations*** podcaster added: 'Thank you for wrapping your arms around me and accepting me with welcoming arms. Change is hard but your acceptance and love made it so much easier to fill some already pretty big shoes.'

Kamie went on to say she was proud of the work they did and the impact she left.

'I am forever grateful to Nev, Critical Content, and MTV for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and shot at a dream I've been working towards since I was 19 years old,' Crawford gushed.

'I have so many new dreams now and although I'm writing this with tears in my eyes (y'all know I'm a water sign at the end of the day), I am excited for what's to come and I'm even more honored that I get to take you all with me. Thank you a million gazillion times Catfish – I love you! Bock, bock, bye [for] now!'

As for the SI Swimsuit stunner's other hosting gigs, MTV has yet to renew Ex on the Beach for a seventh season and Paramount+ has yet to renew dating competition Are You the One? for a 10th season.

Kamie will next celebrate her 32nd birthday on October 25.

Ohio-born Crawford first found fame at the Miss Teen USA pageant in 2010 where she made history as the first contestant from Maryland to win the title.

The 31-year-old presenter wrote: 'It is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have decided to move on to my next adventure.
