Gemma Collins: TV background

Gemma Collins first rose to fame on The Only Way is Essex. She joined the show in its second series in 2011.

She has since appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing on Ice and Celebs Go Dating. She also fronted the reality series Diva Forever.

Recent and upcoming projects

Collins runs several businesses and remains a prominent UK reality figure. A new show, Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby, is due on Sky this year.

When she first joined I’m A Celebrity

Gemma took part in the show’s 14th season in November 2014. That series filmed in Australia.

Her stint lasted three days. She left after completing the 72-hour minimum stay needed for payment.

Why she left early

Collins has been candid about her reasons for quitting. She said the camp conditions were difficult to cope with.

Leaving after three days remains one of her biggest television regrets. She has described the decision as something that stayed with her.

Heading back to the jungle

She returns for the All Stars South Africa edition with clear intent to face past regrets. Fans are eager to see a different side of her.
