Gemma Collins has not had a conversation with her former The Only Way Is Essex co-star Bobby Norris in quite some time following their intense on-screen disagreements. The 44-year-old TV personality mentioned that her efforts to reconnect with Bobby, 39, have gone unanswered for years, despite their close bond during their time on the ITVBe show.

During an episode of the Wright At Home podcast, Gemma expressed her desire to meet up with Bobby again, but her attempts to reach out were unsuccessful. Reflecting on her TOWIE days from 2011 to 2019, Gemma admitted that she used to deliberately provoke Bobby to create drama and secure more screen time.

When asked if Bobby still used the same phone number, Gemma speculated that he probably did. She also shared some anecdotes about their memorable clashes on the show. Gemma recalled one particular incident involving Bobby and another cast member, highlighting her strategy to stand out on the show.

In more recent developments, Gemma revealed that her mother Joan had recovered from a five-week hospitalization due to pneumonia. She expressed her gratitude on Instagram, thanking the hospital staff and everyone who supported her during her mother’s illness.

She extended her appreciation to her close friends and individuals who provided assistance during that challenging period. Gemma concluded her post by acknowledging the positive outcome and expressing her gratitude for the support received.
