A reality TV star is calling for a change in the law surrounding online homophobic abuse.
TOWIE star Bobby Norris set up a petition calling on Parliament to make online homophobia a specific criminal offence.
It currently has more than 31,377 signatures online but requires 100,000 for a debate in Parliament.
He met with Angela Eagle Labour MP for Wallasey to discuss the issue.
He said: "As a gay man I find it devastating how members of the LGBT community are still subjected to homophobic abuse online."
