Gemma Collins swaps glam frocks for a wetsuit as she paddles a canoe in the rain
Gemma Collins has swapped her glamorous outfits for a wetsuit to brave the rain for a canoe trip with her family. The former Towie star, 39, headed to Lymington in Hampshire for a day out with her brother Russell, 42, and her nephew Hayden, 12.
The trio were pictured hiring canoes and heading out onto the water for a fun day of adventures. Gemma, who filmed the outing for her latest reality TV project, was seen looking nervous as she got into the canoe and edged away from the shore.
She kept warm in a wetsuit which showed off her incredible three stone weight loss. A huge crowd gathered to watch as the star made her first tentative paddles before gaining her confidence.
