Former TOWIE star Kirk Norcross has revealed his latest career move: running a waste disposal company called County Clear Waste. The 37-year-old, who appeared on the ITV2 reality series from 2010 to 2013, launched the same-day collection service based in Norfolk and Suffolk.
The business is in its early stages, with its Instagram account posting for the first time in early January. Despite being less than a month old, the account has already gained over 1,500 followers. Norcross is no stranger to entrepreneurship, having previously operated a jet-washing business called KN Jet Services in Essex.
In 2020, Norcross spoke about leaving the 'toxic' world of fame behind, saying he preferred a simpler life. He told The Sun: 'I used to buy Ferraris, expensive watches and designer jeans — now I’m happy with a £20 pair from Topman.' He described the fame environment as 'brutal' and 'full of fake people'.
Norcross has also been critical of his time on TOWIE, claiming in 2024 that producers manipulated him and other cast members for drama. He said bosses forced him into contrived scenes while his grandfather was dying in hospital, and prioritised ratings over mental health.
The star's father, Mick Norcross, died by suicide in 2021. Kirk has previously spoken about the impact of the show on his family. For confidential support, contact Samaritans on 116 123.
