TOWIE favourite shares loved-up snaps after teasing he's in a new relationship
A former the Only Way is Essex cast member has given an insight into their latest relationship this week, with Kirk Norcross posting about going on holiday with his partner
A former the Only Way is Essex cast member paid tribute to their partner earlier this week after getting into a new relationship. The reality TV star has given an insight into the romance following a recent holiday abroad as a couple.
Kirk Norcross, 37, who appeared on the ITV show between 2010 and 2013, has been posting about his apparent new relationship on Instagram in recent months. He however hasn't disclosed his partner's identity, instead covering her face with a red heart emoji in photos shared with fans.
The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate shared an update with his followers on Wednesday. Kirk posted photos from a holiday to Egypt on the platform. He revealed in the post that he visited the city of Hurghada with his partner.
Alongside a series of photos from the trip, Kirk described his mystery partner as the "right person" in the caption of the post. He wrote in the post uploaded this week: "Egypt dump! When you find the right person everything feels right."
As with previous posts on his account, his companion's face was covered by a heart emoji in the photos. One photo included in the post showed the couple sat waiting at an airport, with Kirk smiling beside his partner in the selfie.
Another showed the couple at a bar, with Kirk shirtless and his partner modelling a bikini, amid them soaking up the sun on their holiday together. The pair were seen sporting headscarves in another selfie of them from the recent trip.
Other photos appeared to show them ready for evenings out together whilst away from home. Kirk was seen wearing various shirts and trousers in those few photos, whilst his partner's wardrobe included a dress and a bodysuit.
It isn't the first time that Kirk has posted about his latest relationship. Shortly after Valentine's Day in February, he told his followers in a post on the platform that his partner has been building him up to be "the best version" of himself.
Alongside a photo of them, he wrote at the time: "It's not about looking for someone to fill in the blanks in your life and it's not about acting like someone else just to find someone, it's about finding someone that wants you for you and builds you up to be the best version you are, and that's what I have found in this one! Thank you for being you!"
Like with his other posts, Kirk didn't tag or identity his partner at the time. He instead covered her face with a heart emoji in the photo, which showed the pair posing together for a selfie in a mirror whilst in each other's company.
His partner seems to have first appeared on his Instagram page in November last year. Kirk shared a photo of himself beside an individual, thought to be his current partner, and wrote in the caption: "Everything happens for a reason."
Kirk, who has two children from previous relationships, was met with support from his followers on Instagram over his latest post. The post has amassed almost 10,000 likes since it was first uploaded to the platform earlier this week.

Sex Pistols' John Lydon gives the reason why he will never appear on Celebrity Big Brother
Sex Pistols' John Lydon gives the reason why he will never appear on Celebrity Big Brother The Pretty Vacant singer has vowed to never enter the CBB house He left the jungle just a few days into the competition (Image: ITV ) Former Sex Pistols singer John Lydon will never appear on Celebrity Big Brother because the programme is beneath him. The 69-year-old musician - who was known as Johnny Rotten during his time in the iconic punk band - gets offered opportunities to appear on television but is usually uninterested in the shows offered to him. The Pretty Vacant singer has vowed to never enter the CBB house because he doesn't want to be known as a celebrity. When asked if he would ever consider going on Celebrity Big Brother, he said: "That's too low for me, that's silly. "I'm not trying to be a celebrity. Whatever I am it's always been done in spite of that nonsense. I'm the accidental celebrity." John did appear on ITV reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004 and earned many new fans due to his non-nonsense approach to jungle life and his clashes with former glamour model Katie Price, who used the name Jordan for her photo shoots and work at that time. He famously branded Katie a "Page 3 blow-up balloon" during one bust-up. Article continues below Although Lydon quit after a few days, storming out of camp in the middle of the night after he wasn't voted off by the British public, the programme proved to be a significant moment in his later career and he appeared in a series of advertisements promoting Country Life butter afterwards. John - who is currently on tour with his band Public Image Ltd - is grateful he got the chance to appear on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! because it allowed people to see who he really is as a man as opposed what they perceived him to be because of his Johnny Rotten persona. In an interview with website Contact Music, he said: "Things like I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! helped. "That gave people the chance to see me for how I really was 24/7 with a camera on me. "I'm practical in life. If it's cold I'll light a fire. You can't drink the water in the jungle so you boil it, common sense things. That's just how I am." John did not accept a fee for his time in Australia on the show, instead asking ITV to give money to several charities he supported. Article continues below He said: "My god, they bothered me for years, and I wouldn't do it, but they guaranteed they would pay certain charities that I was affectionate towards. So I did it for that."

How Molly-Mae duped the Kardashian's fame formula to avoid Love Island stigma & it'll make her an ‘eye-watering amount'
Molly-Mae is making smart moves to "increase earnings" and it appears to be working MOLLY-MAE DO How Molly-Mae duped the Kardashian's fame formula to avoid Love Island stigma & it'll make her an 'eye-watering amount' MOLLY-MAE Hague is reportedly in talks for a second series of her documentary, Behind It All, with production already in progress. The highly anticipated new series is expected to air either later this year or in early 2026. Advertisement 31 Molly Mae became the UK's answer to Kim Kardashian Credit: Instagram 31 Both Molly-Mae and Kim K have millions of followers Credit: Instagram / Balenciaga 31 Kim Kardashian rocking short blonde hair Credit: Instagram 31 Molly Mae Wimbledon ready in sleeveless white dress and a fringe Credit: Instagram The turbulent relationship between former Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague, 26, and Tommy Fury, 26, has been a key factor in securing her the opportunity for another reality TV series. It's little surprise that she's often compared to the UK's answer to the Kardashians. Much like the groundbreaking reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which follows the day-to-day lives of the famous family and appeals to a core demographic of women aged 18 to 49, Molly-Mae's show strikes a similar chord. A telly insider revealed: "It was the most-watched show by females in the UK in the hugely valuable 18 to 35 age group. That's a crucial market for the streamer." Advertisement And while the Kardashian-Jenner family are worth billions of pounds, Molly-Mae and her family could be heading that way given enough time. Since leaving the villa in 2019, the reality-star-turned-business-mogul has built a £6 million empire for herself, making her one of the most successful stars to have appeared on the show. And it appears that she's only on the way after already becoming one of the 'most inspiring young people in the UK' while also making The Sunday Times Young Power List 2025. Publicist and ex TV producer Emma Bunning, who has over two decades in the industry, says: 'Distancing herself from the Love Island stigma, Molly-Mae has established herself as an icon in her own right, going on to achieve what most islanders dream of in terms of fame and fortune. Advertisement 'But her subtle emulation of the Kardashian sisters over the years could see her rake in the multi millions as she morphs herself into the UK's answer to the Hollywood mega stars. 'From her self confessed Kardashian inspired walk in-wardrobe to the pared back jewellery free red carpet look after a robbery; you can count the ways in which she has taken 'inspiration' from the successful sisters. Molly Mae drops HUGE C4 show hint as she returns to reality TV for first time since Love Island 'Molly is an astute business woman as well as being incredibly clever and considered in her strategy. 'She knows that the most successful influencers in the world are the Kardashians and it's a tried and tested formula to follow in their wake. Advertisement 'This means BIG money and she's made smart moves to increase her earning potential in this way. 'Currently worth an estimated £6 million, if she continues on this trajectory, she could see herself doubling this income and tipping into the £20 million bracket over the next few years.' Here, we take a look at the 'exact formula' which can help Molly-Mae to become a perfect Kardashian dupe - and it'll be sure to rake her in millions.

The couple, who share a one-year-old daughter, Bambi, previously lived in a stunning £4 million six-bedroom home in Manchester. However, they are reportedly moving between homes as they work through their relationship. Advertisement Molly-Mae has firmly established herself as the 'Queen of Influencing', boasting an impressive 8.6 million Instagram followers. She also held the role of Creative Director at PrettyLittleThing from 2021 to 2023, reportedly earning an incredible £5 million a year during her tenure. With her ever-growing influence, Molly-Mae seems well on her way to building a global following akin to the Kardashians, who collectively have millions of devoted fans.

Advertisement The Kardashians, particularly Kim, are known for their love of luxury cars, from Bentleys to Mercedes G-Wagons. It seems Molly-Mae shares a similar taste, which is an impressive nod to her success. But it doesn't stop there - private jets are another preferred mode of travel for these reality stars. Both Molly-Mae and the Kardashians aren't shy about showing off their lavish lifestyles, regularly sharing snaps of their travels with their millions of followers.

Advertisement Some fans felt the brand's style was a little too similar to Kim's KKW Beauty range, calling it a 'knock-off.' The advertising campaign featured models lounging in nude underwear, which reminded many of the imagery Kim used to promote her shapewear line. Even the group shots, with women posing together and parts of their bodies cropped out, had some fans drawing parallels to Kim's iconic aesthetic. "This is such a knockoff of KKW," told a social media user.

The collection, featuring primarily base layers and faux leather pieces, immediately grabbed attention, amassing an impressive 504k followers on Instagram within its first week. However, the pricing raised eyebrows, with a strapless mini dress costing £110 and a black trench coat retailing at £215, leaving many shoppers stunned – much like the reaction to Molly-Mae's previous ventures. The faux leather range also faced criticism from fashion fans on social media, with many comparing it to affordable brands like Boohoo.

On one of her posts, a fan commented: 'Molly-Mae, I literally had to do a double take here. I thought this was Kylie Jenner!" Both stars share a love for timeless wardrobe staples, often opting for neutral tones like black, white, cream, and grey. And, much like her American counterpart, Molly-Mae has moved away from bold Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga pieces, favouring the more refined styles of Chanel and Hermès Birkin bags. Advertisement Since launching Maebe, Molly-Mae has frequently been spotted posing with her Hermès Birkin 35 – a bag Kylie is also famously obsessed with. Kylie, who was gifted a $100k Hermès Birkin by her mother Kris Jenner, boasts an impressive collection of the luxury bags, including one adorned with diamonds.

The reality star explained how she took inspiration from Pinterest and Khloe Kardashian as she pointed out how her gym leggings and sports bras were being hung up.

Both of their homes reflect a sophisticated yet understated elegance through clean lines, open spaces, and carefully selected furnishings. And to prevent the interiors from appearing too plain, they incorporate textures such as marble, wood, or soft furnishings to add depth and warmth.

Concerns were heightened as Molly-Mae stepped into the spotlight with her impressive engagement ring. Following a 2021 break-in at her home, she has been particularly cautious about showcasing her wealth, especially now that she often has her daughter, Bambi, with her. Molly-Mae is said to be mindful of what happened to Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2017, when Kim was left traumatised after being tied up and held at gunpoint in her apartment by thieves who stole her jewellery, including a £3.5 million 20-carat engagement ring.

Gogglebox star set to be a millionaire as he splashes out on TWO houses
This star has made a fortune thanks to his popularity on the hit Channel 4 show COUCH POTATO CASH Gogglebox star set to be a millionaire as he splashes out on TWO houses Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOGGLEBOX favourite Pete Sandiford's making the most of his amazing telly success, which has seen his bank balance boosted considerably. Appearing alongside his sister Sophie, 29, The Sun can reveal how Pete, 30, is on course to becoming a millionaire. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Pete Sandiford and his sister Sophie are hugely popular on Gogglebox Credit: Instagram 3 The siblings joined the show in 2017 Credit: Channel 4 3 Pete is now on course to becoming a millionaire Credit: Instagram The much-loved siblings joined Gogglebox in 2017, and have been a huge hit ever since. Reaping the rewards of his popularity, the Blackpool native has made sure that any money he's made from the show hasn't gone to waste. He's proved to be a shrewd businessman - especially when it comes to property. The Sun can reveal how the TV star has recently opened up his own investment firm Corgi Real Estate. He has also invested in a house in Fleetwood and an apartment in nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, each worth £80,000. Pete has also capitalises on any earnings he makes from his TV career by setting up Corgi Media Ltd. Nevertheless, the star's daytime job isn't just appearing on Gogglebox - which he's only contracted to do 15 hours a week - but as a roofer and builder. He's got a business alongside a pal called TJ Joinery & Construction (NW) Ltd. The firm is going along very nicely and in its first set of accounts filed a £88,475 profit. Pete can't quit his regular job as he gets just £1,500 for each episode of Gogglebox, which is split with Sophie, so it's only right when he once said 'I have got to pay my mortgage somehow.' Gogglebox's Pete Sandiford reveals he's become a dad for a second time Pete and Sophie first appeared on their sofa - and bright yellow chair - in 2017 for the 10th season of Gogglebox. They quickly became popular with fans of the show for their quick wit and hilarious interactions. Aside from his humour, Pete won fans with his emotional side that he is never afraid to show. The duo aren't the only Sandiford siblings - they have another brother and sister called Harry and Lucy who do not appear on the show. Despite his popularity on Gogglebox, Pete still finds fame peculiar. "I am just a builder from Blackpool, so it is a bit strange when celebrities know us, " he once said. "I was on a roof yesterday."
