But earlier this week, to get a hold of Bobby recently.

“I’d love to see Bobby again, I don’t know where he is,” said Gemma during an appearance on the Wright At Home podcast.

She added: “I did call him with Chloe Sims, cos when she comes over from LA, she doesn’t live far from us actually…

“I said come on lets ring Bob. Rung did he answer no.”

Now, Bobby has given his take on things.

Taking to Instagram, Bobby filmed himself and said: “Someone’s just come running up to me and gone, ‘Bob. Bobby, you’ve got to call Gemma Collins. Call Gem!’.

“I was like, ‘Sorry babe?’ In my head I’m thinking, I ain’t seen Gem for like seven years.

“She went, it’s all in the papers, she can’t get hold of you.”

Continuing that he has a multitude of phone numbers for his former pal, Bobby claimed he wouldn’t know where to start when it comes to getting a hold of her.

“You know when your heart goes, cause you think, has something happened?

“But I’ve legit got 37 numbers for Gemma, so I could legit contact Marilyn Monroe on a Ouija board quicker than I could get hold of Gem.”

Refraining from divulging on why he really drifted from Gemma, Bobby said: “She went, ‘Please tell me you two are going back to TOWIE, you two were the best, I loved watching you as a double act, you’re like Bonnie and Clyde’.

“I said ‘aww thanks’, so it’s always lovely meeting people and talking to them. But as she walked away, I thought ‘Bonnie and Clyde??!’ They were bank robbers!”

He joked: “But, I mean, me and Gem are quite recongisable, so me and her running into the Abbey National with a pair of her pretty polly’s on our heads, I don’t think that’s gonna work out for us.

“And besides, ain’t banks going cash free now? You’d be lucky to get a fiver. But yeah, Bonnie and Clyde made me laugh”.

Gemma and Bobby had an explosive history on TOWIE as they often got caught up in brutal rows.

But the GC also revealed this week that she deliberately used to argue with Bobby and wind him up, in a clever bid to get more air time – and that she did.

She said: ” I used to think, no I’ve gotta do something on this show to get a scene.”
