Who is Gemma Collins?
Are you joking? We’re talking about Gemma Collins. The GC. Self-proclaimed diva and star of reality TV.
The one who fell through the stage while presenting a Radio One teen award.
The Gemma Collins who called then-Prime Minister Theresa May ‘hun’ on Good Morning Britain.
That’s Gemma Collins.
Why is Gemma Collins famous?
Gemma first rose to fame back in 2011 when she appeared in the second series of ITV2’s The Only Way is Essex. She was working as a used car salesperson at the time. Her first scene saw her selling a car to established cast member, Kirk Norcross.
She stayed in the show for eight years, leaving in 2019. During her time on the show, she opened her own boutique called The Gemma Collins Collection.
Gemma is a reality TV veteran now and has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Splash and short-lived ITV show, Sugar Free Farm.
In 2014, Gemma took part in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here. Briefly. She quit the jungle after just 72 hours, blaming health reasons.
She’s also known for being something of a diva. After leaving TOWIE, Gemma began filming her own show, Diva Forever. She also had cameras in her home during the coronavirus pandemic and filmed Diva in Lockdown.
Gemma’s also written an autobiography, collaborated with Boohoo.com on clothing ranges for plus-sized women and generally made The GC a lifestyle brand.
And don’t forget the memes, pronounced ‘memays’ if you’re the GC. There are entire Instagram accounts dedicated to Gemma Collins reactions.
When was Gemma Collins on Big Brother?
Gem appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016. She was undoubtedly one of the greatest signings in CBB history.
During her 29 days in the house, Gemma created some iconic moments that will stay with us forever.
From her meltdowns over having to do tasks to walking around with a Shetland pony on a lead, Gem provided some of the best TV ever.
And who can forget when she somehow managed to convince herself that she was pregnant – and even feel it.
Where is Gemma Collins from?
She’s famous for being an Essex Girl but Gemma was actually born in Romford, which is part of Greater London.
Gemma grew up in Rise, East London.
When she was 14 she started at the famous Sylvia Young Theatre School. Her mum, Joan, apparently knew that Gemma was going to be a star. She wasn’t wrong.
