Another TOWIE star jumps ship

Kirk Norcross is the latest cast member to quit the show signing up to The Bachelor

They may claim that The Only Way Is Essex, but it seems as though the reality show can’t keep hold of its cast members.

The latest TOWIE star to jump ship is Kirk Norcross, who is said to have signed up for an appearance in The Bachelor.

Kirk, 23, will follow in the footsteps of rugby star Gavin Henson by appearing on the show which sees a group of women vying to become the male lead’s girlfriend.

The millionaire playboy will wave goodbye to his TOWIE cast members to date a host of attractive women and potentially find a wife.

He follows in the footsteps of two other prominent members of the show’s cast to up sticks and move on.

Amy Childs left before the start of the last series, opting to appear in her own reality show called All About Amy.

While another of the show’s main characters, Mark Wright, is currently starring in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

Kirk has spoken many times about wanting to settle down with “the one”.

So emulating Gavin Henson – who chose Carianne Barrow as his girlfriend – will be Kirk’s golden opportunity.

A source claimed in the Daily Star: ‘Kirk has been approached to join The Bachelor on Channel 5. He’s jumping at the chance to leave TOWIE and do something more dynamic.

‘He has an eye for the ladies and has been saying for a while it’s time to find a nice girl and settle down.

‘Kirk’s been really successful with regard to money and business ventures, but has yet to find the perfect lady. After seeing how much fun Gavin had on the last series of The Bachelor, Kirk’s well up for it.’
