TOWIE star Bobby Norris has clapped back after suffering sick homophobic abuse in east London.
The ITVBe favourite was travelling through Stratford's Tube station when a vile individual branded him a "queer c**t" as he travelled to a meeting.
Bobby, 38, has previously opened up on the horror homophobia he has faced through the years, and in 2021 told how he was threatened with beheading just for being gay.
And four years on, after admitting he has a "thick skin" over the trolling, he took to Instagram to tell his followers of the fresh slew of abuse.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses, green jumper and chunky coat he spoke direct to the camera as 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**t.
"Thank you for reminding me because it is really easy to forget my sexuality, so it is lovely to be told in such a beautiful way regularly.
"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."
The reality TV favourite then added: "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 glass to you mate, so have a lovely day."
NOT OKAY
Bobby rocketed to fame when he joined TOWIE back in 2012.
Yet sadly and unjustly this has meant he has been a target for homophobic slurs.
Previously Bobby told how the swathes of online abuse sent his way are "always homophobic", as part of Pride Month 2021.
At the time, Bobby spoke openly to OK! Magazine about the trolling and frankly stated: "The online abuse I get is always homophobic. That’s not just having an opinion, people are sending me specific and detailed death threats because of my sexuality.
"I’ve got a thick skin and I can take that and still sleep at night, but if that had been me when I was younger, and for those who aren’t as thick-skinned as me, those people can struggle with that."
Gemma Collins' pal added: "No one should be told they’re going to be beheaded or that they’re going to have guns in their chest because of their sexuality.
"There’s a general belief that the only people who get trolled are those in the media or on TV, but that’s not the case.
"I get trolled because of my sexuality, which is something I can do nothing about and I wouldn’t want to. I’m a very proud gay man and I’m proud to be me.
"So much good can come from social media, but I’m so glad it wasn’t around when I was younger."
Bobby was previously joined by pal Michelle Visage on the TOWIE set as he launched a petition to make online homophobia a criminal offence back in 2019.
