roadcaster Fiona
Phillips has never
been shy when
strong opinions are
called for – it’s one of
the reasons we love her!
And it was clear the big
guns were out when Fiona, 58,
slammed reality TV star Gemma
Collins in a recent newspaper
column. Fiona described the
Essex-born star, whose reality
TV show Diva Forever is on
ITVBe, as a ‘narcissist’.
The mum-of-two went on
to say that the 38-year-old
‘has sent a message to Boris
Johnson, moaning that she has
to use taxis as “not everyone
can get on” Boris bikes, and
cramming onto the tube is
not easy for her “these days”.’
Fiona’s advice was prettyspectacular: ‘Move your body
as much as you do your mouth,
Gem. That should sort it. Boris
has got more important issues
to chew on.’
That’ll give Gemma some
food for thought. The star,
who dates fellow ex-TOWIE
cast member James ‘Arg ’
Argent, has famously battled
with weight issues over the
years. Recently, Gemma seems
to have been on a health kick,
and has reportedly lost 3st
due to a combination of exercise,
healthy eating and appetite-
suppressing jabs.
Fiona’s comments won’t
stop Gemma living her best
life, of course. Having spent
recent weeks sunning herself
on a boat in Mykonos, Greece,
and posting sassy shots in
her swimwear,
Gemma is
now back in
the UK and
excited to have
moved into
her brand-
new luxury
pad, a barn
conversion
she has
already
dubbed
‘Gemmawood’.
Let’s just hope, for
both their sakes, that
Fiona and Gemma don’t
bump into each other
any time soon.Fiona Phillips pulled no punches
as she took aim at Britain’s
biggest reality TV star...
