TOWIE legend Gemma Collins has told fans the surprising co-star who won’t return her calls after their explosive TV spats.
The 44-year-old confessed she hasn’t spoken to Bobby Norris in years, despite being close on the reality show.
Gemma shot to fame on the ITV Be show in 2011, she made her last appearance on the show in 2019.
Speaking on the Wright At Home podcast, she told fans she’s tried to call the radio personality but has so far had the silent treatment.
She said: “I’d love to see Bobby again, I don’t know where he is. I did call him with Chloe Sims, cos when she comes over from LA, she doesn’t live far from us actually…
“I said come on lets ring Bob. Rung did he answer no.”

Jess Wright asked: “Has he still got the same number?”
And Gemma replied: “Probably yeah.”
Gemma and Bobby, 39, had a bit of an explosive history on the show as they often got caught up in brutal rows.
But now the GC has revealed she deliberately used to argue with Bobby and wind him up, in a clever bid to get more air time – and that she did.
Arguably one of the most famous stars to come from TOWIE, Gemma opened up on what really went on behind the scenes of the Essex series.
She described 12 hour filming days where she barely appeared in one scene.
Gemma said: ” I used to think, no I’ve gotta do something on this show to get a scene.”
Jess praised Gemma’s ability to worm her way onto our screens as she recalled some of the Celebrity Big Brother star’s best spats with Bobby.
She said: “When you’re with Bobby and Charlie and ‘ask me again have I done a course? Ask me again, have I done a course, Bobby?’
“And then he chucks the drink and walks out and Charlie goes ‘well I ain’t going into business with that.”
Jess told Gemma: ” You were so good at that, the minute you wanted airtime, it was really clever.”
The TOWIE icon recently stripped off into a stylish one piece swimsuit as she showed off her three stone weight loss.
Gemma has been sharing updates with fans after starting her journey on the NHS-approved Mounjaro back in November 2024.
