She's always been body confident but after recently losing 3.5 stone, Gemma Collins is feeling better than ever.The GC says she has lost the weight via daily exercise but says she doesn't do anything "too strenuous". "I walk and I use my weights – nothing major," she says.
After experiencing the rush of endorphins from exercise and loving the results of her new regime, the former TOWIE star admits that she is now addicted. "Exercising keeps me motivated because it’s like an addiction.
You get used to feeling better about yourself and it becomes part of a routine. I wake up, train for an hour and start my day," Gemma, 40, says.
