With filming for series three of The Only Way Is Essex just starting, rumours and stories were bound to start finding their way out, but this one is quite a surprise!

After splitting 6 weeks ago, with a lot of mud slung from either side, and many hurtful things being bounded about, it would seem that Kirk Norcross and Lauren Pope have held crisis talks in an attempt to salvage their relationship.

The pair, who have split twice before, apparently had a heart to heart after Lauren was apparently devastated after seeing Norcross with new love, Casey Batchelor.

According to The Sun, Lauren told pals: “I want him back.”

An insider said told the newspaper: “They met up last week at Kirk’s house “He’s started to realise he made a mistake being so hasty with Lauren. It would come as no surprise if they were back together by the time the third series starts next month.”

According to Norcross at the time, the split was his decision based on the fact that their sex life had fizzled out and that he no longer fancied Lauren.

The source added: “Lauren knows Kirk has messed her around. One minute they lived together and got matching nose jobs and the next he was saying he couldn’t commit.

“If he dumps her again Lauren will make sure it’s for real this time.”

The Only Way Is Essex returns in September. Coincidentally!!!!!!
