TOWIE’s Bobby Cole Norris: ‘It would be lovely if Lauren Goodger and Ricci Guarnaccio got together’

The only way is support for two of Essex’s reality TV stars, as TOWIE’s Bobby Cole Norris vows to get behind his former co-stars Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright as he is glued to watching* Celebrity Big Brother* and Strictly Come Dancing.

Last night CBB viewers saw Geordie Shore’s Ricci Guarnaccio, Benefit Street’s White Dee and ex-TOWIE star Lauren hop into bed for some group cuddles, until Dee eventually excused herself when Lauren and Ricci started to get full-on.

And speaking to heat at the InTheStyle launch of Lauren Pope and Charlotte Crosby’s new clothing ranges, held at Project, London, Bobby told us: “Oh, I’m loving Celebrity Big Brother, I love it. Lauren’s doing really well, it seems like her and Ricci are getting close and it would be lovely if they got together.”

But does Bobby think it’s just a showmance?

He told us: “It’s really hard to tell because we’re not in that house and we only see 60 minutes of a 24-hour day. But I think she’s doing really well and she’s representing Essex and making us all proud, so woop-woop go Lauren!”

And with the return of Strictly Come Dancing last night Mark Wright was paired up with Karen Hauer - and it’s not just Mark’s fiancée Michelle Keegan who will be well jel of his glitzy outfits.

Bobby told us: “I will 100 per cent be watching Mark Wright with his spray tan and his diamonds. I am very jel of his outfits! I’ve seen his press shots on Twitter and the shirt he’s wearing, skin tight with diamonds, all I’m saying is Mark when you’re finished can Bobby wear that to Sugar Hut, please?”

We think you’d look a right bobby-dazzler babes…
