Gemma Clare Collins (born 31 January 1981) is an English media personality and businesswoman. In 2011, she began appearing on the ITVBe reality series The Only Way Is Essex. Following a brief appearance on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (2014), Collins has appeared in various television programmes including Celebrity Big Brother (2016), Celebs Go Dating (2018), and Dancing on Ice (2019). In 2019, she began starring in her own reality series and hosting a podcast on BBC Sounds.
Since opening up about her history of self-harming on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories last year, Gemma Collins has been dubbed an inspiration.
Now, in a new documentary, Gemma Collins: Self-Harm & Me, she takes an emotional look into her past to raise awareness of self-harm.
Gemma has previously been hailed as the queen of reality TV, but she hopes her latest project, which she worked on with the charities Mind and Harmless, will strike a different chord.
The former TOWIE regular turned 41 last month and told new! that she wants this TV show to signal the start of a different era.
