He was in the first ever episode

After quitting TOWIE, Kirk did the rounds on reality TV

After leaving TOWIE following the third series because it had “changed too much,” Kirk did a bit more reality TV. He went on Celebrity Big Brother and was the fourth housemate to be evicted on Day 16, then returned to TOWIE for season seven in 2012 and appeared on Ex on the Beach in 2015. After that, his reality TV days were well and truly over. 

Now he’s completely quit fame and lives a very normal life

Kirk is now 38 and has his own rubbish company called County Clear Waste, a same-day rubbish collection service which collects waste across Norfolk and Suffolk. Before that, he ran a jet-washing and drain cleaning business in Essex called KN Jet Services. 

“Hi, I’m Kirk Norcross, proud owner of County Clear Waste. I provide reliable, fully insured and licensed rubbish clearance across Norfolk and Suffolk. From garden clearances and house clearances to all types of waste and rubbish removal. I’ve got you covered. Professional, trustworthy service you can depend on. Get in touch today,” he wrote on Instagram when he launched the company in January.

Kirk made the decision to quit fame in 2019 after he attempted to take his own life. He opened up about how life in the public eye left him with severe depression and anxiety. His father Mick, who famously owned the Sugar Hut nightclub, sadly died by suicide two years later, in 2021.

He told The Sun on Sunday: “Reality TV turned me into a monster but the bosses didn’t want to look after the monster they ­created. I’d cry on set and say, ‘Please don’t make me do these things’, but I always had to. I’ve thought about killing myself so many times because of what those shows did to me. Last year I came seconds away but I thought of my son’s face. He saved my life.”

ITV said in response: “The welfare of everyone involved in the making of our programmes is of paramount importance to us and appropriate psych support is available to all cast throughout their time with us and beyond.”

Kirk recently celebrated five years sober, which he said has shown him how much life he was “missing before”.

Kirk had a go at raunchy OnlyFans, and has his own raffle company 

In 2023, Kirk launched an OnlyFans and started posting racy content on there, although he seems to have stopped posting on there now.

He was charging people £16 per month for his content and said: “Thank you to all my subscribers, and the people that supported me with words, kindness and tips. I am new to this website so please bear with me my content will get better, and my prices will get cheaper as I go on.”

He also has his own raffle company called 24_7winners, which gives out prizes. Plus, he still has over 300k followers on Instagram, but isn’t interested in the fame side of things.
