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.
First, came Ed Sheeran’s sprawling estate, dubbed Sheeranville. Now... there’s Gemma Collinstown. The former TOWIE star is planning a two-year renovation project to turn her new home into a sparkly pink palace with its own helipad.
She also fancies a swimming pool decorated with a mosaic of her own face staring up from the bottom. Gemma will create the estate by building a second property on her new land, while her parents buy the house next door.
She hasn’t completed on her country pile yet. But Gemma is already stocking up on interiors, including a huge glittery unicorn, a grand piano she’s having “smothered in Swarovski crystals” that will be visible from “outta space” and a “big, pink ostrich-feather lamp”.
