TOWIE stalwart Bobby Norris has hit out at his ex from the show Harry Derbidge after he said filming with him was “awkward”.

In scenes from the most recent episode, Frankie and Demi Sims asked Harry where his cousin Amy Childs (who also recently returned to the show) is.

“Last I heard she was out with Bobby,” he said. “To see her hanging around with my ex-boyfriend, I do think it’s really strange. We were together for not even a year but we had such a rocky rollercoaster and a lot of people ended up turning on me.

“Listen, I will hold my hands up and I made a mistake, I should not have been texting my ex-boyfriend behind Bobby’s back. But it’s not like I went and slept with him behind Bobby’s back. It was literally a text. And then I had to go through all that shit. And it really hurt me, guys.”

However, Bobby, who recently split from his partner Matt Snape, wasn’t about to go down without a fight and took to his own Instagram to give his version of events.

Megan had found out that Pete had been texting other girls which led to them having a break for a few months. They got back together but had many rows including their infamous argument on the street over pictures of Chloe Sims and Pete together in Amsterdam.It was one of THE most heated arguments on the show and Pete and Megan didn't speak to each other until they both appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2019, and had the chance to clear up their feud.

Courtney and Myles split up in 2018, after being together for just over a year. Rumours of Myles cheating on Courtney had been flying, so they took a break. They rekindled their relationship but things were not working out and Myles surprised Courtney with a trip to Mexico to see if they could make things work. Court chose not to go and the pair split up for good. Their relationship was turbulent to say the least and during one argument, Myles even branded his girlfriend a "dirty dog" and a "sl-g".Following their final split, Courtney dealt with it in the most dramatic way possible by burning a book she had about their relationship and ripping apart the giant teddy bear that Myles had given her when he asked her to be his girlfriend.

“This is RIDICULOUS!” he fumed. “We all know that he slept with his ex behind my back.

“As for ‘not wanting to be around me’, I’ve been on this show for ten years so if you want to keep your distance maybe don’t come and work with me…?”

Ouch.

Fans were divided, with one writing, “Harry is engaged now so why does it even matter?” and another chiming in, “Harry and Bobby would be great friends... get over it Harry was years back, live and learn from mistakes.”
