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.

The ex-The Only Way is Essex (Towie) star, 37, was on a getaway with former Miss Sweden, Nicoline Artursson, in Mijas, near Malaga, on 5 May.

Jess Wright praises brother Mark and shares why she won't babysit his daughter

EXCLUSIVE: Former TOWIE star Jessica Wright spoke to the Mirror about her brother Mark Wright becoming a parent with Michelle Keegan whilst on the BAFTA red carpet Reality TV star Jessica Wright has opened up about her brother Mark Wright becoming a parent. Jess praised her younger sibling and teased why she isn't yet offering to babysit her newborn niece, Palma, for the presenter. Mark, 38, and his wife Michelle Keegan, 37, announced the birth of their "little girl" Palma, who is now two months old, in March. Jess, 39 - who is a parent herself to son Presley, two - later described the couple as "incredible parents". ‌ The Mirror caught up with Jess at the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises. She was among the guests on the red carpet at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London yesterday ahead of the TV awards ceremony. ‌ Asked what it's been like seeing her brother Mark take on his new role as a parent, Jess told us: "It's been amazing." The former the Only Way is Essex star went on to gush over him and her newborn niece Palma in our interview. Whilst talking about her sibling, she said on the red carpet: "He's taken to it like a duck to water. He's brilliant. He's amazing. He's really a great dad already." Jess shared that she wasn't surprised though, adding: "I had no doubt." Speaking about Mark's daughter, she said: "She's amazing! The best little girl." Jess - who has two nephews through her youngest brother Josh Wright, 35 - then added about the new arrival of the family: "I'm so happy I have a niece." When asked if she's offering to babysit Palma, Jess laughed. She then teased: "Not quite!" She went on to share that her son - who turns three later this month - keeps her busy enough. She said: "Presley keeps me on my toes enough." Her brother Mark previously teased that he enjoyed his "first night out" with his wife Michelle since Palma's arrival at Jess' Have A Heart Gala last month. Jess also spoke to us about the recent fundraising event on the BAFTAS red carpet. ‌ The gala was held at the Savoy on April 24 in support of the Brompton Fountain, which supports the care of seriously ill children. It was shared prior that Jess was collaborating with the charity to raise awareness and funds to provide support for children with severe heart and lung conditions. Jess previously announced that her own son, Presley, had been diagnosed with congenital heart disease, Bicuspid Aortic Valve. She shared the news last year and has since spoken about the condition, including having revealed that Presley will need open-heart surgery at some point. ‌ Reflecting on the gala, she told us on the weekend: "It was absolutely incredible. The build up to it was pretty intense but I'm so pleased we did it because we raised a quarter of a million pounds, which is pretty epic for a small charity like the Brompton Fountain - so [I'm] absolutely over the moon!" Asked what it means to be involved with an event like the Have A Heart Gala and raise so much money, given her personal connection to the cause, Jess shared her pride. She also expressed hope over its potential impact. She said: "I'm just really proud that I can use my platform to make some good out of some really awful, tragic stuff which is basically, essentially, open-heart surgery on children and other complications within the heart. So yeah, I'm just really, really happy that I can make a change, hopefully in a positive way with the platform that I have so gratefully been given."

Ella Rae Wise set for Celebrity Big Brother

Ella Rae Wise is set to take part in 'Celebrity Big Brother'. The 'Only Way is Essex' star - who is dating Dan Edgar and previously romanced Pete Wicks - has reportedly been working with producers on the reality show to film exit scenes involving her pals waving her off for a new "project", before the 24-year-old beauty enters the famous abode. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Ella has lots of promise and producers think she'll be really good on CBB as one of the youngest housemates. "She'll bring a lot of fresh viewers with her and could spill on her famous love life. "ITV like to cross reference between their shows as it helps with promotion. "Ella's got her head screwed on and is really witty and funny and isn't afraid of a bit of drama." 'Love Island' star Chris Hughes is also expected to take part, while James Bye is also tipped for a spot after departing his role as Martin Fowler in the 'EastEnders' 40th anniversary live episode last month. A spokesperson from bookmakers Corals said: "Our betting suggests James Bye could be hopping across from Walford to the Big Brother house, as he is being backed to be a contestant on the celebrity version of the show in April." But one famous face who won't be going into the house is Gary Lineker. The 'Match of the Day' host - who will be stepping down from his role at the helm of BBC's iconic football highlight show at the end of the current season - revealed he was approached for the ITV reality series just last week, but jokingly requested an outrageous fee to secure his participation. Speaking on his 'The Rest Is Football' podcast with co-stars Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, he said: "Do you know, last week I got requested on 'Celebrity Big Brother'. "My agent sent it through jokingly, and he replied, 'Oh yes, Gary's fee will be £50 million!' " Despite the response being in jest, it seems bosses thought it may have been a serious demand. Gary added: "He did it completely as a joke, obviously, and they came back and said, 'Oh, that's a little bit... it's not within our budget.' " Shearer warned that Gary's 'MOTD' departure means reality TV bosses will be asking him "to go on all of them". But the 64-year-old retired footballer insisted: "I can tell you know, don't bother asking..."
