Gemma Collins and former best pal Bobby Norris put a seven-year feud to bed after reuniting at her Sky premiere. The former TOWIE stars haven't spoken to each other in almost a decade after being inseparable in the early days of the hit reality TV series.
But after both had attempted to play down their feud in recent months, they were both all smiles as they posed alongside each other. And it wasn't just Bobby that Gemma buried the hatchet with. She was also seen beaming alongside Harry Derbidge and Saffron Lempriere.
Reason for the fall-out
The GC, 45, fell out with Bobby, 39, because he was upset that she didn't tell him about how his former boyfriend Harry Derbidge, 32, cheated on him when they dated in 2014. But all appears to have been forgotten with their latest show of affection.
Bobby's emotional post
Bobby labelled them the 'Essex Bonnie and Clyde' and praised their reunion. In a post on Instagram, he said: "7 years apart… and somehow, it feels like we were never apart at all. (If that makes sense?)"
He went on: "Life happens. We grow older, circumstances change, and we all go through our own battles — the good, the bad and everything in between. Health issues, loss, grief, heartache… things that remind you that none of us know what tomorrow might bring."
He admitted that some people come into your life and "leave a mark that time can't erase". And he admitted that sometimes, "friendships really are meant to stand the test of time".
Gemma's response and other reactions
Praising Gemma, he concluded: "Feeling incredibly blessed, grateful and so thankful.. Gemma Collins: Everything. All At Once.” - 15th September @skytv & @nowtv"
And Gemma was quick to respond to his kind words in the comments section of the post. She gushed: "Love you bob and very much looking forward to lovely times together"
Charlie King also shared his delight at the cast members being back together. On his own Instagram account, he shared a snap of the group back together.
He wrote: "We all go on our own journeys in life … but if the universe wants to bring people back together again it will work its magic… Friends Reunited!!! Gemma’s new show on SKY ONE & streaming on NOW 15.09.26 – forget ‘The GC’ this is Gemma as you’ve never seen her before."
