There's been SO many iconic TOWIE stars over the years but one of our ultimate favourites is Bobby Norris.

We know, we know that when you think of hilarious TOWIE quotes Gemma 'The GC' Collins and Megan McKenna spring to mind but no one will ever top Bobby's hilarious one liners.

Want some examples?

'If I went into a thesaurus and looked up aggressive, there would be a picture of Gemma Collins' and 'Who's paying the dry cleaning bill of my Reiss coat' both spring to mind.

It's been a few years since Bobby quit TOWIE so we've had a look back at all his Essex drama and what he's doing now.

When did Bobby Norris join TOWIE?

You might think he's an OG star but Bobby actually joined TOWIE during series four back in 2012.

During his first scene, Lydia Bright and her mum Debbie Bright pointed out how much he looked like Gok Wan - an icon, tbh.

What happened with Bobby Norris and Harry Derbidge?

What didn't happen.

They seemed like the dream couple - and even wore matching schlongs - until rumours circulated that Harry Derbidge spent the night with his ex.

They split up and Harry left TOWIE and that seemed to be the end of things... Until it wasn't.

Harry returned to TOWIE in 2021 and after making it clear that he wasn't keen on Amy Childs being friends with Bobby, he then denied ever cheating on Bob in the first place.

Why did Bobby Norris quit TOWIE?

After all the drama with Harry, Bobby shocked fans when he announced that he was quitting the show.

During an Instagram Q&A he said, 'It’s no secret that the last series I filmed was a tough one and emotionally draining for me, so it felt like the right time to take a step back and concentrate on my presenting career.'
