Gemma Collins

“My intuition always guides me to the right place.”

“I've always dreamed big.”

“Ever since I was a little girl I've had this affinity to connect with spirits and talk to them.”

“Just think Beyonce on ice, honey. That's me.”

“You get the wig on, you put the lipstick on, you get the big eyelashes on and that's the GC. It's like Paul O'Grady when he does Lily Savage... But when I'm not working, I don't wear a scrap of makeup.”

“After six years of doing it, the weird thing on 'Towie' is that we can't explain to people that we're famous. We're doing a show where we have to act like normal people.”

“I'm not a presenter - I'm a star.”

“Any members of the IIluminati, feel free to come on my podcast. I'm not scared of it, I'd like to know more.”

“There's criticism, and there's calling someone a fridge.”

“I think it's acceptable to eat custard on Sundays.”

“I honestly think I was put on the Earth to be some sort of prophet.”

“I have every day struggles like everyone else.”

“I'm here for a reason and I think it's to reach out to people - whether that's to give people a little bit of confidence if they're having a terrible day, or to give them advice, or just to make them laugh.”

“I constantly know that showbiz is going to be short-lived, you have to grab every opportunity as well as you can.”

“People have got to stop fat-shaming and writing bad stuff. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be around for a long time. Get over the weight thing and look at yourself.”

“I am Gemma Collins. I don't have to answer to anyone about my fashion choices.”

“I've been so lucky with everything that has happened to me.”

“I'm not the Towie girl I once was, I'm not that girl anymore.”

“I radiate on a different frequency - or you can call it energy - than most. I vibrate at a different energy force.”

“I'm always surrounded by crazy people, but when I come back to the country I'm into my plants, I love gardening, I love bird watching and I absolutely love nature.”
