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 revealed she's been supporting Tilly Ramsay in private, after the Strictly Come Dancing star was body-shamed by a radio host.
After Tilly, 19, was branded 'chubby' by LBC Radio presenter Steve Allen, Gemma, 40, reached out to her publicly, revealing on Instagram that the story had upset her and questioned whether or not the station would take action.
Now, speaking on the Gemma Collins podcast, the former TOWIE star has revealed she's also been in contact with Tilly. She said: "I don’t want to give oxygen to those making nasty remarks but I do want to say that I was impressed by Tilly’s gracious response on social media, especially as I’ve faced not very nice comments myself in the past.
