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 been tipped to star in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. The former Towie star, 39, has been ranked among the bookies' favourites to appear on the hugely popular BBC1 series.
It comes after Strictly bosses appeared poised to lift the reality star ban currently imposed on the telly show. Bookmakers Coral have given the self-confessed diva odds of 4/5 to enter Strictly this year, with 16/1 to win the entire competition.
Coral's Harry Aitkenhead says: "We think this is Gemma's year for the Strictly dancefloor. "She's odds on to be dancing on our screens once more this autumn." Earlier this week, we told how fellow reality star Molly-Mae Hague is also tipped to be signing for the 2020 series of Strictly.
