Gemma Collins 'feels at peace with her soul' after becoming a vegetarian
Gemma Collins has announced she's switched to a vegetarian diet and now feels "at peace" with her soul. The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 42, took to Instagram to reveal she's now adopted a meat-free diet as she "can't stand" animal cruelty and is "such an activist" for animals.
Gemma, who recently revealed she ditched filler after her mum made a heartbreaking comment, shared a make-up free selfie and posed with a bowl of watermelon as she announced her latest lifestyle change. "Guys so happy to tell you I'm meat free I just can't stand the cruelty to animals and I'm raising my vibration," she wrote.
She went on to add: "I feel at peace with my soul how could I eat meat when I'm such an activist for the animals". Showing off some of her meat-free dishes, Gemma then followed up her initial post by posting a snap of her Chinese takeaway, which included a number of different vegetables. "Last night's Chinese," the ex-TOWIE favourite announced.
Gemma's latest lifestyle change comes after she revealed it might be time for her to move on from Essex, after feeling she's "outgrown" it.
