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 has insisted that she will crack America as she revealed that her dreams were dashed when her Hollywood agent died just six weeks after she signed a contract with him.
The former TOWIE star, 39, has made no secret that she wants to hit the big time in the US, and was even in talks with the American weight-loss show The Biggest Loser.
She said top manager John Ferriter got her the role on the programme in the hopes of launching her Stateside career, but it fell through after he passed away.
She said on The Gemma Collins Podcast: “We had a great meeting, he looked me in the eyes, he went, ‘Gemma Collins - you’re a star, and I will make you a star in America.
