When someone puts their life for all to see on a reality TV show, you think you know everything about their life, but speaking to Star in the week’s issue, TOWIE’s Gemma Collins reveal that she’s kept quite a lot quiet.
The blonde confessed to the weekly magazine that she suffered from a miscarriage the evening of the 2012 National Television Awards.
Of that night, she says: “I can remember Sam and Billie picking me up in a nice chauffeur-driven car. They were like, ‘Gem you look amazing.’ And I was thinking, ‘I can barely move with all this padding on beneath.’”
She admits that she thinks it is a punishment for an abortion she had previously, when she was coming to the end of a five-year relationship and believed the baby may have health complications due to medication she was taking at the time.
“I do feel guilty,” she says. “What if I can never have a baby now? The miscarriage felt like God’s way of punishing me.”
