TOWIE’s Bobby Norris gets emotional as he recalls having ‘veneers knocked out my head’ in homophobic attack that left him hospitalised

Bobby Norris got emotional as he recalled having his ‘veneers knocked out his head’ in homophobic attack that left him hospitalised. 

A pᴀsserby recently hurled homophobic abuse at the former TOWIE star, 38, and shouted ‘queer c***’ at Stratford tube station.

Discussing homophobia on FUBAR Radio on Wednesday, Bobby admitted he’s been ‘attacked twice in the last couple of years’ with one leaving him in hospital. 

Speaking with his co-host Ellen Coughlan on the showbiz programme Access All Areas, he opened up about his most recent attack. 

He said: ‘I was on my way into Access All Areas, and I was in Stratford, broad daylight, and a gentleman. 

‘And we use that word very, very loosely, because although we’re uncensored, I don’t want to offend. So, let’s just say called me a queer hunt with a C.’

Opening up about an attack that resulted in his hospitalisation, he recalled: ‘I’ve never really spoken about this publicly, but it is documented, if anyone that thinks I’m just chatting sh**. 

‘I was attacked twice in the last couple of years that they call gay bashing. I’m 38 but I feel some kind of shame when you got one of them geezers, literally knocking my veneers out my head and there’s some veneers in there. 

‘Anyway, I laugh about it because I deal with things internally. It wasn’t funny when I was in a hospital.’

Later in the episode, Bobby read out messages from parents of individuals who faced homophobia. 

The TV personality explained: ‘I sat there and cried reading these messages of people that got physically abused, and from parents as well, because the kids are so embarrᴀssed. And it’s hard, it doesn’t matter how old you are.’

Bobby revealed on Instagram that he faced homophobic abuse from a man at Stratford station last week. 

The TV personality said that a stranger ‘gave him a mouthful’ on his commute into London and explained he was sharing the abuse ‘to prove that homophobia exists’. 

He said: ‘So this is a message for the lovely man at Stratford station, who just gave me a mouthful and no not like that. The one who decided to call me a queer c***.’

Bobby continued: ‘Thank you for reminding me because it is really easy to forget my Sєxuality, so it is lovely to be told in such a beautiful way regularly. 

‘And I guess it is just a message out there to prove to all the people out there that say homophobia ain’t a thing anymore because we only have racists now in Britain. 

‘Homophobia doesn’t exist anymore, it’s like the dinosaurs so ironically I’m on my way into Soho, you couldn’t make it up.’

Bobby concluded: ‘But what I’m going to do I’m going to my meeting in Soho House and I’m going to cry a queer tear into my queer drink and raise the glᴀss to you mate, so have a lovely day.’
