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.
Gemma Collins had her dreams crushed when she found out sacked SAS: Who Dares Wins host Ant Middleton was married. The former TOWIE girl, 40, laid eyes on the ex-Special Forces soldier at Essex nightclub Sugar Hut back in 2015.
The reality TV gem decided to pluck up the courage to talk to him. But unfortunately Gemma's fantasy was short-lived when she realised the controversial host, who was axed from the Channel 4 series this week, did indeed have a wife.
Recalling the night out after recent news of Ant's sacking, she told The Sun : "Ant is absolutely gorgeous. "He's the perfect guy but he told me he was married.
I'd love to be friends with him and his wife." Since the night out, Gemma is now back with her on-off boyfriend James Argent
