United Kingdom, July 25 -- Jax Taylor's exit from The Valley is "just a pause".

The 46-year-old reality star recently announced that he won't appear in season three of the show, but Jax insists that he'll return to The Valley one day.

He said on his In the Mind of Jax Taylor podcast: "Myself, my team [and] the producers got together [and] we decided to take a break from season three. This is not goodbye. This is kind of just a pause on things.

"The more I talked about it with everybody, it just didn't seem to make a lot of sense for me to walk right back into filming right away."
