Talking to E! News earlier in 2023, she said: "Season seven is filming right now, but I've been off maternity leave and I've been excited to get back to work. And so far, I've not been called back."

When asked how this made her feel, she admitted she was a "little frustrated" and was "not sure" why she wasn't back on set.

More recently, Netflix dropped the trailer and promo image for the new season where Heather wasn't present.

Commenting on the move on Instagram, she said: "Looks like I got pushed in the water. It's a good thing I can swim! Congrats to my girls on S7! You may see me in a few episodes…"
