Norcross previously left the show at the end of the third series in 2011, but rejoined in September 2012.

His departure follows that of his dad Mick Norcross earlier this month.

Lucy Mecklenburgh and Mario Falcone have been hitting the headlines recently after getting their knickers in a twist on Twitter.
