‘There is only one GC – she is a global icon’
Gemma Collins, 38, alias The GC,
comes from Essex (where else?).
She shot to fame on The Only
Way Is Essex and has now become
a Meme Queen, known for her
larger-than-life attitude.Tell us about Diva Forever...
I had lots of offers [of TV work]
after Dancing On Ice, but I will
never forget where I first started.
When the producers of TOWIE
suggested Diva Forever, I thought
it was a great idea. It’s all about
my life now. I’ve let the cameras
follow me everywhere.Will we be seeing The GC or
the real Gemma?
Oh, it’s The GC! Everywhere I go,
people want The GC. There is only
one GC – she is a global icon. But
I can’t be The GC in front of my
family. We do normal, everyday
stuff when we are at home.James ‘Arg’ Argent, your on-off
boyfriend and TOWIE co-star,
is featured in the first episode
of the five-part series...
Yes, it was filmed a couple of
months ago. But I want to keep
my private life separate now.You’re heading off to LA. How
did you find the Americans?
Well, they are so forward-
thinking. It made me realise
how, here in the UK, we are
behind the times. It’s such
a positive environment.
Best thing about LA? On
every street corner, there is
a Chinese massage parlour.
They will massage you for
two hours for 30 dollars!Would you ever swap
Brentwood for Hollywood?
