'Spoiled' Gemma Collins didn't know bills existed until she moved out at 30
Gemma Collins was so spoiled by her parents that she didn't know what bills were until she moved out at age 30. The former TOWIE star has admitted that she had no idea she had to pay for things like water, power, and Sky television.
Gemma, now 39, confessed on her BBC podcast: "I didn't move out till I was 30 years old. I had it far too good at home. "I remember calling my father and saying, 'What the hell is a water bill?' "Then the council tax, then the Sky, then the TV licence.
I had the biggest shock of my life." Gemma has said a number of wild things on her podcast, and particularly enjoys sharing the conspiracy theories that she believes in.
