Following Alissa's exit from the show, she will soon be replaced by a brand-new stew named Leigh-Ann Smith. Leigh-Ann is active on Instagram with over 2,224 followers as of this writing.
On her Instagram bio, she is a self-described motorsport enthusiast and ice cream addict. Among her many story highlights on her page, she's also shared plenty of photos and videos of her yachting gig, already making her a perfect fit for a chartering gig on Below Deck.
She hasn't exactly been name-dropped in the season just yet nor does she have an official bio on Bravo TV. However, according to Show Star News, all of the St. Davis yachties of Season 10 follow Leigh-Ann on Instagram, indicating that her appearance on the show was not only expected but imminent. With members of the crew having left already, replacements are in order. When Camille left, she was replaced by Tyler Walker. Now, the void that Alissa left behind will be filled in by Leigh-Ann.
As a matter of fact, her appearance has already been teased. In Below Deck Season 10's sneak peek to its final episodes, Leigh-Ann can briefly be seen as she becomes part of the crew. According to the show, she's been a chief stew for two years and even has a history with one of the current deckhands.
She gets especially cozy with Ben Willoughby, but isn't afraid to stir things up while aboard the St. Davis.
Curious to see what's in store for the crew now that Leigh-Ann is going to be a part of it? New episodes of Below Deck premiere Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
