This series of TOWIE has been explosive, but one thing we were not expecting was for Bobby Norris and Matt Snape to split.

They seemed totally loved up, just recently celebrating their one-year anniversary, with Matt moving in with Bobby and even discussing adopting – but it's now all over for them.

Revealing his relationship with Matt is now over, Bobby wrote on Instagram, 'Hey guys, I just want to acknowledge the recent speculation regarding my relationship.. I can confirm that Matt and I are no longer together. We share some amazing memories of our time together and I truly wish him all the best.. x'. (sic)

An insider also told OK! Magazine, "It is believed that Bobby has called time on their relationship after a year together.

"They’re both upset and saddened things didn’t work out.

"As the current series is still being filmed it is likely that the split will play out on the show."

It was only recently that the pair were discussing their future together with Bobby questioning, "We’re together for over a year now, which is incredible.

"Where is your head in terms of being a parent, getting married - is that something you see yourself doing?"

Matt went on to tell him, "100%. Always have done, since I was little. I’ve always known that I’ve always wanted a family life."

Bobby's split comes shortly after he bumped into ex-boyfriend Harry Derbidge while filming and despite their bitter split back in 2014, they've put the past behind them and seem to be on good terms.
