Gemma Collins says she regrets promoting dangerous diet injections to her fans while in a “desperate place”.The former TOWIE star came under fire for promoting SkinnyJabs which experts warned could be “life threatening” and should only ever be prescribed by a doctor.Speaking on the GC podcast Gemma explained: “I have said that I’m not promoting any diet injections or anything like that."I kind of regret doing it but I feel like sometimes you’re in such a desperate place and you want to lose weight but actually I’ve come away from all the diet promotion because I wish we could get rid of that word diet."It’s basically what works for you.
