Bobby Norris calls for TOWIE to be axed as viewing figures plummet

Bobby Norris speaks out

TOWIE star Bobby Norris, who was part of the show for nine years, believes it's time for the long-running reality series to come to an end. With the latest series finale attracting less than 50,000 viewers, Bobby expressed his concerns about the show's declining popularity.

A drastic drop in viewership

Once pulling in 1.5 million viewers at its peak, the latest TOWIE series finale saw only 48,000 people tuning in. This significant drop in viewership has raised questions about the future of the show, with some suggesting it may be time to retire it altogether after 34 series.

Calling for respect

During an interview on Fubar Radio, Bobby Norris compared the show's current state to a suffering pet, stating that if it can't attract more than 50,000 viewers, it may be time to let it go. He emphasized the need to respect the legacy of TOWIE and the careers it has launched.

Looking back on better days

Reflecting on his time on the show and the success of former co-stars like Gemma Collins and Mark Wright, Bobby expressed sadness over the decline in viewership. Despite bosses planning a Christmas special and a new series in 2025, Bobby believes that the magic of TOWIE has been lost in the latest season.

An uncertain future

While some cast members have been informed of plans for a 35th series, Bobby Norris's comments have sparked a conversation about the future of TOWIE. With the show's once massive viewership now dwindling, the decision to continue or end the series remains uncertain.
