Former TOWIE star Gemma Collins has reunited with her former best friend following a seven-year feud.

Gemma Collins and Bobby Norris, who were once inseparable on the early seasons of the hit reality TV show, put their differences aside at her Sky premiere.

The pair had not spoken in almost a decade.

In a post on Instagram, Bobby said: "7 years apart and somehow, it feels like we were never apart at all.

"The fun times, the pure belly laughs and all those unforgettable memories you made together can never be forgotten or replaced."

The feud began after Bobby learned that Gemma had not told him his former boyfriend, Harry Derbidge, 32, had cheated on him during their 2014 relationship.

Derbidge and Saffron Lempriere were also at the reunion.

Bobby reflected on the years apart and the need to forgive.

He added: "As you get older, you start to realise just how short and precious life really is.

"Life happens.

"We grow older, circumstances change, and we all go through our own battles — the good, the bad and everything in between."

He described the reunion as a reminder of the importance of letting go of past grievances.

He said: "And sometimes, those moments are the wake-up call we need to stop living in the past and holding onto things that, when you step back and look at the bigger picture, simply don’t matter anymore.

"Some people come into your life and leave a mark that time can’t erase.

"And when you find your way back to each other, you realise that some friendships really are meant to stand the test of time."

Collins responded to Bobby's post, saying: "Love you bob and very much looking forward to lovely times together."
