Bobby Norris has revealed the price he’s paid in a bid to change his appearance. The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 39, admitted to spending over £50,000 on fillers before he had his facelift.
And he admitted he had “abused” the procedure before his op. Bobby spoke to Vanessa Feltz on her daytime TV show and. The host told him: “One of the reasons you’ve been in the papers a lot recently is all the cosmetic work and treatments, and surgeries. You’ve had quite a lot of them.”
Bobby responded: “I think the penny is slowly dropping that I’m really open. I think to be on a reality show for 10 years, for 15 years, do various reality shows and social media, it’s an open book.
“I’m not gonna put the genie back in the bottle. And I think for people who follow and watch on social media and TV and stuff, I think it’s important to be honest.”

He went on: “I’ve documented the whole thing. I mean, there are photos and videos I could have posted that I didn’t. Do you know what I mean?
“I think a lot of people think surgery is like going on Stars in Your Eyes. You walk through the door, and in 20 minutes, you will have a new face or new boobs. That isn’t the reality.”
As Vanessa then showed Bobby an image of him when he first joined TOWIE in 2012, he was seen without any filler and before surgery. When she asked him what work he had had since the snap, Bobby joked: “Right so what’s still left?”
He confessed: “Nose is different, teeth is different, hairline is different, beard, face, cheeks, neck, everything. Apart from the eyes.”
Vanessa appeared confused at why he would have so much done at a young age. “I mean I can’t really work out why you would have done that,” she confessed, before calling him a good looking man.
But Bobby said it was all to do with his stretched cheeks due to his abuse of fillers. Vanessa questioned the total he had spent on fillers over the years and he shockingly revealed: “Oh, if you were.. I think someone said it’s more than 50 grand.”
Away from the surgery talk, Bobby revealed he would love to make amends with his former best pal Gemma Collins. The duo haven’t spoke to each other for seven years following a dramatic fallout.
In a message to her, he said: “‘I’d say let’s catch up. Let’s go and have some lunch. We used to have the best times. We would go to a health farm for one day and still be there a week later, we would just ring down and say, ‘We’re staying another day.”

Bobby said people grow up and their falling out wasn’t anything that was “overly deep”. He told the host: “I’m just about loyalty. But what I’ve realised is, and I think maybe it’s part of growing up and stuff is what you bring to the table, whether it’s a relationship or friendship.”
The duo were once fan favourites on the popular reality TV show and fans would love them to reunite.
