After being hailed as the first winner in the talent search competition ''Bida Next'' in "Eat Bulaga" on Feb. 4, Carren Eistrup has confirmed that she will be leaving the show now under the new management of TAPE (Television and Production Exponents)  Inc.

On Instagram, Carren gave her honest thoughts about leaving "Eat Bulaga" and joining TVJ on TV5. In the post, Carren uploaded a photo of her and the trio during her winning moment.

''Winning Eat Bulaga’s Bida Next was a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to work with my idols, including the iconic TVJ trio. Malungkot po ako sa mga nangyari pero kailangan ko pong sundin ang puso ko dahil ito po ang nagguide sa akin all my life and has led me to where I am today—isang Cebuana na may malaking pangarap who was fortunate enough to win a grand competition and work with TVJ, Maam Allan, Kuya Wally, Kuya Jose, and the rest of the EB cast, all of whom are inspirations to me,'' she wrote.

Careen started appearing on the show on a regular basis on Feb. 5, after she was proclaimed winner in "Bida Next" portion of the show. She's been on the show for only four months. Upon the announcement of TVJ and other hosts leaving the show, Careen mentioned that she hasn't been rehearsing with new hosts contrary to the earlier statement of Bullet Jalosjos, chief finance officer of TAPE Inc., who claimed that she started rehearsing with the new hosts. But Bullet said Careen backed out last minute for personal reasons.

''Gusto ko lang po sabihin, that I have not rehearsed with the new 'EB' cast nor have I been forced to leave them. Nililinaw ko rin po na walang pananakot and pressure from my talent management, Merlion Entertainment. I hope this clears everything out," Careen added.

At the end of her post, Careen gave her warmest thanks to TVJ, MEDIDQUEST, and TV5 for bringing the show to a new home.

''Thank you po TVJ, MEDIAQUEST, and TV5 for our new home ❤ Kita kits po tayo soon mga legit dabarkads!'' she added.
