Gemma Collins adopts polar bear after becoming obsessed with endangered species
REALITY TV star Gemma Collins has adopted a polar bear after becoming obsessed with the endangered species. She was filming her fly-on-the-wall series Diva at Yorkshire Wildlife Park when she was invited to feed the bears.
And after becoming attached Gemma, 39, made a donation to the park’s charitable foundation in order to take the bear on long-term.
It is one of four living at the dedicated ten-acre Project Polar Reserve. A source said: “Gemma loved the animals and couldn’t help herself. “She sees animal conservation as the next big thing she wants to get into, and adopting her own polar bear was too tempting to resist. “She wants to stay involved and keep up to date with what is happening at the park.
