The Only Way is Essex star Bobby Cole Norris successfully confronted his longstanding fear of flying at Stansted airport recently after attending easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course.
Bobby, who has starred in the ITV2 BAFTA award-winning show since the fourth series, suffered from a deep-rooted flying phobia since he was a child, causing him to dread boarding an aeroplane and limiting his globetrotting opportunities. That is, until he joined easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course and received expert help and information on the mechanics of flying and fear.
Millions have tuned in to see Bobby and his fellow cast members as they prepare for the show’s annual trip to ‘Marbs’ (Marbella). This year, Bobby will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.
Clearly flying high, Bobby said: ‘I feel so E-mosh! I can honestly say that this course has changed my life. I can’t thank the whole easyJet Fearless Flyer team enough for what they’ve done for me. After 14 years of being scared of flying I now realise I was only scared of the air con noises! I only wish I had come on this sooner.’
easyJet has successfully helped more than 1,000 phobics become Fearless Flyers since the course was launched in late 2012, ranging from extreme phobics who cannot even step foot on a plane, to those who experience mild nervousness.
Scared of flying? easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course runs across the country with a number of other sessions coming up in Luton, Edinburgh, Bristol, Belfast and Manchester. To book a place or for more information, visit: fearlessflyer.easyjet.com
