Towie’s Kirk Norcross finds love eight months after the tragic death of his dad Mick with stunning girlfriend Tanika

FORMER Towie star Kirk Norcross has found love eight months after the tragic death of his dad Mick.

The 33-year-old is dating footballer David Cotterill’s ex wife Tanika and went Instagram official with her this week.

He posted a selfie of them looking cosy, alongside a series of heart emojis – looking happy once again following a difficult year.

Kirk has been single since his split from girlfriend  Danielle Louise Carr, with whom he shared sons Harry, four.

He is also dad to daughter Violett, five, with ex Holli Willis.

Tanika is mum to a little girl called Vogue, three, with her ex husband.

She married the Welsh footballer in a lavish ceremony in 2017, before welcoming their daughter a year later. 

The new relationship comes after Kirk revealed he was three months sober after struggling with cocaine addiction once again following the death of his father.

Mick Norcross was found dead in January this year aged 57 and an inquest this week ruled he’d taken his life.

Kirk said he’s determined to ensure others don’t suffer in silence like his tragic dad, explaining how he found father on that tragic day and tried to save his life.

Kirk, who now runs a jet-washing service, revealed that he will forever be haunted by what happened and was too heartbroken to attend last week’s inquest.

Kirk has described his dad Mick – who had four children – as his “best friend” and hero and has urged others to speak out if they need support.
