Bright returned to the show earlier this year after a break, but told Digital Spy and others that she is "so glad" she decided to return.
"Obviously it was such a big decision to make on my return, but yeah, I'm so glad that I decided to come back," she said. "It's been so amazing.
"I had such an enjoyable series last series. I've enjoyed it so much, coming back. I missed being around everyone and the hype of being on the show. I'm glad that I left when I did because I needed my break, but I'm so glad that I'm back now."
She added: "I feel like I was never really gone. I know I was gone for quite a while, like a year and five months, but I think because I did so much that went so quickly. And then I got back and nothing really changed so it was literally as if I'd never been away. I can't really remember my year off. I'm super glad, I'm really happy."
Bright also revealed that she used her time away from the show wisely, saying: "There were a few things that I really wanted to do because I went on TOWIE from such a young age - I was only 18 when I started.
"I never really got to do a lot of things that I wanted to do when I was younger, so I took my time out and I conquered all of those things - I went full steam ahead with my business and did some travelling and went away with my family quite a bit and did some holidays. Then I was refreshed and ready to go back and here I am."
Bright also praised the show for giving her the chance to come back, saying: "I'm very lucky that when I decided I wanted to leave, TOWIE told me it was an open door policy and when I wanted to come back, I was always welcome."
She added that her time off also gave her the chance to establish her business, saying: "That year I had off, I really piled into my clothing collection and I got buyers on board - ASOS, River Island - and worked really hard.
"And now that I'm back on the show I've got people on board that take that over from me. I think once you've done the initial setup of things and got everything under control, you can take more of a back seat and that's what I do with my clothing and also my store as well."
