sitting in a dark room, more
vulnerable than ever, having more
hidings a day and less food. I’m
thankful for the key workers who
are still going to work and looking
after children in schools.
We’ve heard TOWIE filming
has been postponed...
Bobby: I’m gutted about it.
We haven’t filmed since the
Christmas special, so I was
so excited to get back to it.
Saffron: It’s in limbo
at the minute.
Bobby: So many people
are gutted. Everyone was
going, “Has TOWIE been
axed?” But we’ve definitely
not been axed, we’ll be
filming as soon as we can.
new has been
battling trolls with
our #turnofftrolls
campaign. What’s the
latest with your anti-
trolling campaign,
#EndTheTrend2Troll,
Bobby?
Bobby: I can’t wait to get to
the Houses of Parliament.
I’ve heard MPs want to
debate this. I got the email
before the pandemic broke
and I was waiting for my
debate date. That’s now on the
backburner with all this going
on. I’m not doing it for me, it’s
for other people. When you
say the word trolling, so many
people think it’s just celebrities
who get it, but there are so many
people suffering from it. I’ve
always said if I can stop one
person from taking their own life
because people are vile online,
then job done!
What kind of abuse have
you faced?
Bobby: I’ve had people say
they’re sat outside my house
with bottles of acid to throw
in my face, they’re going to stab
me with machetes or shove a
nine-inch blade inside me. It’s
upsetting, but I can put it to the
back of my mind.
Saffron, have you ever suffered
abuse from trolls?
Saffron: I get the odd weight
comment, but nothing bad.
You two seem to have such
a supportive friendship...
Saffron: Me and Bobby knew
each other for about seven years
before starting the show. Our
connection has come from both
being in a bad place in our lives
and that’s why our friendship is
so pure. We get each other and
his passion has inspired me. My
