EasyJet helps TOWIE star get to ‘Marbs’
TOWIE star Bobby Cole Norris has successfully confronted his lifelong fear of flying at Stansted airport so he can join the rest of the cast of the reality TV show on their annual pilgrimage to Marbs (that’s Marbella, Costa del Sol, for those over 30) without breaking out in a cold sweat
Norris, who has starred in the ITV2 show since the fourth series, attended easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course to overcome the phobia that left him dreading every flight, we’re told.
After completing the course, on which he learned that it was only the sound of the air-con that was making him nervous, Norris said: "I feel so E-mosh." TravelMole has no idea what that means, but we think it probably suggests holidaymakers will run the risk of bumping into Norris in ‘Marbs’ very soon.
