'Only Way Is Essex' star Kirk Norcross wants to release autobiography

The Only Way Is Essex star Kirk Norcross has revealed that he is planning to release a book about his life.

Norcross, who was eliminated from Celebrity Big Brother last Friday (January 20), confirmed his literary plans during a conference call with journalists.

Speaking about his post-Big Brother projects, the Sugar Hut employee said: "I'd like to take a week and get my feet on the ground and then I want to get a book out.

"I want to tell people why I am like I am and why I do what I do."

The 23-year-old also defended his behaviour on the Channel 5 reality show and palmed away accusations that he acted like a pest with fellow contestant Georgia Salpa.

"I thought she would be a girl with fun banter in the house, but it didn't work out like that unfortunately, said Norcross.

"I'm a bit of a flirt and minutes go like hours in that house. I'm a trier and someone saying no to me means saying yes. I like that banter really more than a flirt."

Norcross backed either Frankie Cocozza or rugby legend Gareth Thomas to win the series, which concludes on Friday night (January 27).
