HARRY Derbidge has been spotted for the first time following the death of his ex boyfriend as he had lunch with friends.
The Towie cast have been left heartbroken following the death of Rhys Alan Smith.
Rhys – who has been at the centre of a recent storyline with Bobby Norris and Harry – was tragically found dead in Tenerife, where he lives, last week.
Hours after the news broke, Harry, 27, was pictured in Essex grabbing lunch with friend and co-star Demi Sims.
Harry was dressed in an all-black ensemble as they left the eatery, wearing leather biker trousers, sports jacket and T-shirt.
Meanwhile Demi was dressed in a white coat with a matching handbag and turned to check on her friend as they headed along the pavement.
Rhys was close friends with numerous Towie cast members, in particular Gemma Collins and James Argent.
Sharing her devastation, Gemma commented on his last picture: “My heart will never be the same I won’t ever be the same love you Reece 
.”
Arg wrote: “Love you mate.”
Harry and Rhys dated back in 2013 and make-up artist Harry later admitted he slept with Rhys when he had started dating Bobby.
The topic has been at the centre of a recent storyline as Bobby and Harry have come face to face on screen once again.
While Rhys hasn’t been directly named, he has been referred to on numerous occasions as Bobby tried to get to the bottom of what happened.
