Towie’s Bobby Norris and Saffron Lempriere’s drunken showdown after boozy dinner

Bobby Norris and Saffron Lempriere had a war of words in a drunken spat.

Inside Melin restaurant, the pair were having a lively time with their TOWIE co-stars over dinner and many glasses of wine in Essex on Sunday.

Dramatic photographs captured the moment the close friends had a very public fall out over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Bobby wagged his finger at Saffron while he shrugged her words off during the argument unfolding in the street.

The blonde bombshell run off after her friend to try and smooth over the issue.

It’s not known what the pair were fighting over.

Only hours earlier, the friends had been happy in each other’s company while surrounded by their fellow TOWIE cast members.

Quickly things got heated when they made their exit from the restaurant.

Bobby and Saffron always go on wild nights out together.

But on Sunday, their friendship faced one of its most explosive rows yet.

Only last week, Saffron took to Instagram to wish her friend Bobby a happy birthday accompanied by a sweet photograph of them both.

Also on her Instagram, the blonde referred to her pal as her “wingman”.

The TOWIE bombshell insisted the couple had a “forever friendship” which had blossomed this year.

Saffron described Bobby as a “special soul” and she said she couldn’t wait to make more memories with him.

She wrote: “Happy Birthday  @bobbycnorris  one good thing to come out of this year is our forever friendship thankful for your special soul.

“Keep shining heres to more laughs more memories & more madness sneaky.”

No doubt the inseparable TV personalities will make up soon enough, if they haven’t already.

TOWIE will return to our screens on September 6 for its 26th series.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of The Only Way Is Essex.
