Tommy Mallet has shared the reason behind his decision to sell his collection of high-end cars, admitting he wants to be "more relatable" to people. <\/p>\n

The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 31, who has amassed a huge fortune thanks to his business empire, opened up about getting rid of his vehicles in a chat on the Motive Mentality channel, which was shared on TikTok. <\/p>\n

Tommy was asked: "How come you sold up all your cars then? G Wagon gone as well?" to which he bluntly responded: "Everything is gone."<\/p>\n

The dad-of-one, who shares son Brody, two, with wife Georgia Kousoulou, went on to explain he wanted to have a "reset" and didn't want to rub his wealth in "people's faces".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"It's to have a re-set. And … I'll tell you the actual reason behind it. So when the fuel prices are going up and me putting petrol in the car bruv, it makes no difference to me money-wise. If you're driving a \u00a3200K car, doesn't matter does it?" Tommy explained. <\/p>\n

He went on to say: "When I pull up at the petrol station and you've got my man struggling to put a tenner in his car to get to work, do I want to be pulling up in the \u00a3200K motor jumping out, putting it in the car, jumping back in.<\/p>\n

"No man, that's not who I want to be. I want to be relatable. I want to be able to come across as a normal person.<\/p>\n

"I've done well, and I've got money, but in these next few years that are going to be tough, I don't want to be rubbing it in people's faces. Because that's when the hate starts man. I don't want that."<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It comes after Tommy announced he stepped down from his role at Mallet after eight years. The co-founding director took to Instagram to share the news of his departure and posted a lengthy caption alongside a snap which saw him sitting in front of his company sign. <\/p>\n

Tommy wrote: "I never thought I\u2019d be sitting here writing this, but with it now being public knowledge through news articles I have to address. <\/p>\n

"On the 31st of October I stood down from my role at Mallet London, the company I love and always will do, for many reasons, the main one being I feel it\u2019s important to grow in life and not stay still, I\u2019ve done all I set out to accomplish with this brand, and I\u2019m forever grateful for what I\u2019ve learnt and who I\u2019ve met along the way!<\/p>\n

"I love you all involved (even the ones I\u2019ve been in legal battles with) because without you I wouldn\u2019t be who I am today and wouldn\u2019t be prepared for what\u2019s in front of me in my journey! I\u2019ve learnt a lot this year and the main lesson for me is no matter what don\u2019t be scared to start again if it\u2019s something you believe in, I still own the company and I\u2019ve left it in good hands!"<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He added: "I want it to strive and I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s next for it under another direction… I always wanted to leave on a high and for me it doesn\u2019t get much better than Reebok!"<\/p>\n

Tommy ended the post by saying: "Team I love you dearly! And thank you for everything I wouldn\u2019t of been here without you and also a massive thank you to Evren to sharing my vision and going through the madness with me! Ciao for now, the best is yet to come."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
