“To renew deals for the ‘big three,’ some of the younger actors will be shuffled or cut entirely,” spills the insider. “Ariel isn’t central to the show, so she’s at the top of the chopping block."

Winter is allegedly sad to leave, but will be focusing on her studies, and she’s also reportedly “angling for her own show.”

“She’ll be sad to leave — the cast is a second family to her — but she’s also very excited for the next opportunity,” added the source.

However, Steve Levitan, the co-creator and executive producer of Modern Family, has slammed the rumours.

“Nothing could be further from the truth. Ariel is a beloved cast member and a crucial part of our show,” he told GossipCop.

“While she is starting to attend classes this year at UCLA, we are happy to report that she’ll continue to be a part of Modern Family's coming season.”
