GEMMA Collins has revealed she has days where she feels "ugly" and "not good enough". The celebrity TV star, who is famed for her bold personality and sassy attitude, admitted she was just like everyone else when it comes to having moments of self doubt.
Speaking on the Secure the Insecure podcast, she said: "Some days you have an off day. You know, you’re just like, 'Oh, I look really ugly today, I don’t feel myself.' Just this strange stuff, like, my life seems really good, is it suddenly going to go wrong?
Am I good enough to do this job? Am I confident? "You know, everyone has it, so when people see me, like performing on TV and stuff, before that, you do sometimes doubt yourself a little bit.
But then I just take a deep breath and I go, 'I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve just got to do this.' But you know, I wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have the down days, you know?" Gemma explained how her GC persona is just that, a character designed to give fans what they want.
