Kirk Norcross and his recent confession

Kirk Norcross, 31 skyrocketed to fame when he appeared on The only way is Essex along with Mark Wright and Gemma Collins.

He was the favorite of the viewers. But he confessed recently that TV fame comes with its extreme lows and associated mental issues.

After the tragic death of a reality TV actor from Love Island, Mike Thalassitis, Kirk has opened up for the first time on it. Kirk revealed that his life is no more private once he became a TV actor and he was always in the spotlight.

But he was left struggling with anxiety and depression. But he admitted that he had zero aftercare from the show producers.

He said to The Sun:

“Reality TV turned me into a monster but the bosses didn’t want to look after the monster they created.”

Kirk added:

“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.”
