Bobby Norris is "ready" to settle down.
The 'Only Way Is Essex' star is looking forward to start dating again but has swore his friends off from signing him up for speed dating.
He said: "I'm ready to get on that dating scene again. I'm ready in my head to settle down when I meet the right person. I'm a big believer that when you go out looking for it, you don't find it. So I'm not on a massive hunt. But I'm very ready to start dating again.
"A couple of friends have been trying to twist my arm with speed dating, I'm a bit scared about that. You've got to put yourself out there though! I'm looking forward to getting back to the dating scene."
And with the 28-year-old television personality focusing on helping his mother Kym battle leukemia over the past year, he hasn't felt it was the "right time" for a romance.
He added to Reveal magazine: "I've been single for about a year, what with mum and everything.
"It hasn't felt like the right time to be dating I guess. But now its time to potentially meet Mr Right."
