Bobby Norris reveals his secret sadness as he shares results of hair transplant and makes plea to Prime Minister
BOBBY Norris has shared his secret sadness while showing off the results of his hair transplant, after a homophobic attack.
The former Towie star and FUBAR radio host, 38, has jetted off to the world’s largest hair loss clinic, Elithair, in Turkey, to transform his look.
Bobby told us he’s had the transplant procedure after becoming “conscious” of his hairline, over the past few months.
He added: “I want to feel more confident, and as it’s such a popular treatment for men now I think it’s really the only way to change my hairline.”
Bobby has shown his 781,000 social media followers a before-and-after look at his hair.
In one video, the reality star could be seen showing off his dark locks being fully shaved off, and in another he reveals his shaved head as he joked: “If you are looking for a long lost ‘Mitchell Brother’ to join the firm, get on the dog and bone!!”
Towie favourite Bobby admitted he’s been “unhappy” about his hair and chose the Turkey clinic after visiting the country for a couple of procedures in the past.
He said: “It’s all I’ve been able to see when I look in the mirror, so I knew I needed help to feel more confident.”
Fans have praised Bobby for his move to have a hair transplant, as one person wrote: “I love how open you are Bobby you never hide or deny anything & that’s brave & strong Keep being you Bobby.”
A second added: “How refreshing for someone to be so honest about what procedure has been done. Good luck & excited to see the results.”
And a third echoed: “Hope it’s heals quickly and look forward to seeing the end results . Thanks for being open and honest . Very refreshing on this day and age.”
Bobby has since revealed the first results of his transplant while addressing the Prime Minister, Sir Kier Starmer in a new video.
The ITVBe favourite was travelling through Stratford’s Tube station when a vile individual branded him a “queer c**t” as he travelled to a meeting.
Bobby has previously opened up on the horror homophobia he has faced through the years, and in 2021 told how he was threatened with beheading just for being gay.
And now, in a video addressed to the Prime Minister, Bobby said: “I know homophobia exists, and during the pandemic homophobia went through the roof.
“Anyway, we’ve come out and world has gone back to some sort of normality, but sadly the homophobia isn’t just online anymore.
“The physical and verbal homophobia is off the scale.”
Bobby continued: “Something is going on and something needs to be done.
“I mentioned it’s physical and I’ve been attacked twice in the last few years because of my sexuality.”
Bobby called for the Prime Minister to do something as he added: “We’re meant to be moving forward, people from my community are living in fear, make it make sense.”
The star said he’d like to have a cup of tea with Sir Kier to talk about what could be done.
Bobby rocketed to fame when he joined TOWIE back in 2012.Yet sadly and unjustly this has meant he has been a target for homophobic slurs over the years.
Previously Bobby told how the swathes of online abuse sent his way are “always homophobic”, as part of Pride Month 2021.
