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.
Last week Gemma Collins jetted off on a sun-soaked escape with her fiancé Rami Hawash. But behind the smiles and enviable holiday snaps, she was facing another setback in her long fertility battle.
The former TOWIE star took to social media to give her followers an update on her conception journey, saying she “can’t get pregnant” after previously admitting she’s desperate to have a baby.
The 42-year-old, who has recently been to the Greek island of Mykonos, said alongside a beautiful bikini snap, “With an underactive thyroid and PCOS, every day is a constant struggle but do you know what, F IT.” She added the hashtag “can’t get pregnant due to PCOS”.
Her comments section quickly filled with praise for her curvy figure, messages of support and stories of other women’s fertility struggles and successes, with many telling the reality star not to give up hope.
