Former TOWIE star Bobby Norris has been forced to deny rumors of his death after a flood of messages from worried fans. The 38-year-old clarified that the confusion stemmed from people mistaking him for another Bobby Norris who had passed away.
Instagram Video Addresses Rumors
In a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday, June 16, Norris said: "There's been an influx in messages because there has been an announcement of my passing online over the last couple of days. At first, I thought the internet was internetting, I wasn't sure if it was the good old trolls under the bridge doing what they do, didn't really respond to it. And then more and more came in, and for a split second in my head, I'm thinking, 'It can't be me because I'm eating an omelette, and I'm still very much here, d****** about.'"
He continued: "Anyway, I've got to the bottom of it, I think that it is, obviously, a different Bobby Norris that has sadly passed - it's not me." He thanked those who sent well wishes and offered condolences to the other Bobby's friends and family.
Fan Reactions and Previous Surgery
Norris captioned the post: "Still here with my omelette.. (Just to clear up any confusion..)," prompting an outpouring of supportive comments from fans. In April, he opened up about his dramatic face transformation, revealing that a facelift was corrective surgery due to overuse of fillers. "I had no option but to get a facelift as I had overstretched my face from fillers," he said. "I was really abusing fillers and for a ten year window I was going every 12 weeks. I removed all my fillers so I had to have a facelift. I'm almost correcting my stupidity with the facelift."
