Gemma Collins is well-known as TOWIE’s curviest and bubbliest blonde. She’s famously battled with her weight over the past few years and after her recent break-up with boyfriend Rami Hawash, she tells Heat magazine she’s disgusted by her size.
“I can’t bear to look in the mirror, my body is disgusting. I need to lose weight. I’m ashamed of my body,” she tells the celebrity mag in this week’s issue.
She admits to the magazine that she would often eat takeaways with her ex-boyfriend and as she doesn’t like cooking alone, she’d prefer to go out for dinner, which caused a 3 stone weight gain.
However, she says the relationship itself was damaging to her self-esteem and didn’t help matters.
“While I was in my last relationship, I started to believe that he was the only person that could love me as I am,” she says. “I got more and more down. I started to believe that I was s***. I am not that person; I have always been proud of who I am, but that relationship made me doubt myself.”
Gemma has said that she would love to slim down from a size 22 to a size 14, not only to look better but because she’s also realised it’s necessary for her health.
