TOWIE star Bobby Norris has revealed he's back in hospital with a mystery health condition, five months after having a facelift.
The 39-year-old reality TV star posted snaps from a hospital bed wearing what looked like an oxygen mask. In an update from his Instagram stories, he also posted pics of hospital equipment, appearing to suggest he was undergoing some sort of scan.
His condition is currently unclear as he simply captioned the post: "God bless the NHS. I feel like the NHS get a rough ride of it sometimes, but the work and jobs they do is truly amazing. Thank you."
Support from fans and friends
Fans and famous pals were quick to comment below, with former TOWIE co-star Georgia Kousoulou writing: "Hope your ok bub [sic]."
"NHS are amazing. Get well soon Bobby," a fan posted, as another said: "Hope you're ok Bobby. Sending love and hugs."
"Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery," a follower replied, while an Instagram user added: "As someone who works for the NHS I really appreciate this comment. I hope you're ok!"
Previous surgery in March
Back at the beginning of March, Bobby was left swollen, bruised and struggling to speak after undergoing surgery for a face and neck lift.
Sharing a clip from his hospital bed, he told fans at the time that he was "fresh out of surgery" and was now waiting for the "healing process".
"I had surgery done yesterday and this is my first day post op. I thought I'd do an update diary for you. I've had a facelift, lower Blepharoplasty - which is the lower skin under your eyes - and a neck lift," the Celebs Go Dating star detailed.
Despite struggling to talk, he still seemed in good spirits and joked "We're not getting the Vogue cover this month, put it this way."
Past 'tweakments' and filler addiction
His face has since healed, but speaking about his past 'tweakments' and surgeries, Bobby - who thinks he's spent £50,000 on fillers alone - admitted he "might have body dysmorphia".
Speaking to Vanessa Feltz on her daytime TV show, he said: "I think a lot of people think surgery is like going on Stars in Your Eyes. You walk through the door, and in 20 minutes, you will have a new face or new boobs. That isn't the reality."
Vanessa showed Bobby an image of him when he first joined TOWIE in 2012 where he was seen without any filler and before surgery. When she asked him what work he had had since the snap, Bobby joked: "Right, so what's still left? Nose is different, teeth is different, hairline is different, beard, face, cheeks, neck, everything. Apart from the eyes."
Asked why he had a facelift before he was even 40, he said it was because his "addiction to filler" left him getting a top up every 12 weeks - and did too much damage for his skin to recover.
He had the filler dissolved before heading to Turkey for his facelift op in March this year. Explaining why he had the procedure, he told The Sun: "I know people are shocked that I had a face lift before I even turned 40, but I think it's becoming more normal. I'd abused fillers in my cheeks and around my eyes so badly - and I'd stretched my skin so much it would never snap back."
