A TOWIE star has completed his training to become a volunteer vaccinator.
Bobby Norris will be working with St John's Ambulance to help administer Covid jabs in the coming months.
He revealed he had stepped up to the plate in a post on Instagram.
Bobby also explained he felt compelled to help the vaccine programme after catching coronavirus towards the end of 2020.
Alongside a photo of his certificate to show he was a trained vaccinator, Bobby wrote: "Today I completed my training as a Covid-19 volunteer vaccinator.
"This pandemic has affected us all in one way or another and after contracting the virus myself over Christmas and finding out first hand just how awful it really is, I decided that once I was better I wanted to do whatever I could to help others.
"I’m really looking forward to getting out there and doing my part in supporting the NHS in the rollout of the vaccine."
Essex coronavirus action, which is a joint initiative run by volunteers and County Hall, is appealing for people to give up their time to help the vaccine programme.
