Marnie refused to participate in any new episodes of the show and informed bosses that she wouldn't return.
Back in January, she made the decision not to come back to the show without having "serious conversations" with the producers.
She said: "I'd have to really think about it. And have serious conversations if I was to go back."
Despite her initial stance, she appears to have had a change of heart at the last minute as she has now joined her co-stars on their sun-soaked filming trip.

The star is currently living it up in a Thailand villa with her co-stars shooting for the upcoming 25th series of the show.
A source told us: “Marnie coming back was an eleventh hour decision by bosses, as they were worried the new series didn’t have enough drama.
"The producers were really annoyed with the way Marnie left the show and slagged off the way the last series was edited, but when they got to Thailand to film the new series, they quickly realised something was missing.
"The last series was full of drama but a few days in, they became concerned that there wasn’t going to be any conflict, especially coupled with the high profile departure of Charlotte Crosby.

"As a result, they decided to reach out to Marnie and manage to thrash out a last minute deal.
"She isn’t getting on with Sophie Kasaei, and the pair still don’t follow each other on instagram, so they want to capitalise on all that fall out.”
Marnie cut ties with Sophie and Holly Hagan after being cruelly mum-shamed over her son Rox.
Her son was diagnosed with ADHD and she admitted people close to her have made her feel conscious over his behaviour.
In the latest season of Geordie Shore, Marnie was joined by her husband Casey and their children Rox and one-year-old son Oax.
But Marnie and co-star Charlotte Crosby got into an explosive row over a highchair while filming in Cyprus which resulted in Charlotte leaving the show.
Charlotte abandoned the trip after just two days, and Sophie later revealed her and Holly had petitioned the new mum to stay on but she refused.
Marnie then unfollowed them on social media, while they both are still following Charlotte.

The TV star later explained that she felt "constant" pressure while filming with her family and said it was "evil" that close people around her had "judged" her and her kids.
She said: "To see close people around me judge me and be mean about my children is so upsetting, say anything you want about me but talking about my kids is below the belt and unforgivable and I'm still so shocked."
