Bobby Norris quits TOWIE after row with ex Harry Derbidge

Bobby Norris says that he has quit The Only Way Is Essex due to his "compulsive liar" ex-boyfriend Harry Derbidge.

Bobby Norris has branded ex Harry Derbidge a "compulsive liar" and has revealed that their feud has led him to quit The Only Way Is Essex.

In the most recent episode of the ITVBe reality show, the pair were seen arguing about their split seven years ago, with 34-year-old Norris accusing Derbidge, 26, of cheating on him.

Derbidge denied the assertion, enraging Norris, who slammed his ex for trying to "rewrite history" before storming out.

Taking to Instagram after the episode aired, Norris wrote: "I am VERY sad and surprised that after 10 years the few cast members that have been around nearly as long as me have a problem in speaking up and telling the TRUTH and helping to have my back (which is a shame as I like to think that I have defended every single one of them in their various break ups and fall outs..)

"Well, NO MORE!! People's true colours have well and truly been shown tonight.. and it is with a heavy heart that I say after 10 years on the show after next weeks episode I am taking a break from @towie ..

"I just cannot be on a show with my compulsive liar ex boyfriend trying to rewrite history and ruing my life as well as turning my friendship group against me.."

Norris has been part of TOWIE since the show's fourth series in 2012.
