Has the First Lady of Essex finally made it?

| Updated:

Sometimes it’s about being in the right place at the right time, and TOWIE star Gemma Collins is loving being in the right place.

The 36-year-old found herself staying in the penthouse of a hotel, a perk of being a celebrity itself, but it was what she discovered about her room that got her really excited.

It was the same penthouse hotel suite that former First Lady, Michelle Obama had also stayed in.

As you can imagine, the reality TV Queen nearly burst with the news.

She took to Instagram to share her excitement with a picture of Michelle, and revealed that she got the room because of her fame.

She said in her caption: “Such an OMG moment I’ve been given the penthouse all to myself where the First Lady @michelleobama stayed omg I’m actually going to be sleeping in the same bed.”

After a string of “omg” hashtags, Gem added: “Perks of being a tv star and falling of a stage ha ha ha ha better make some good tv whilst I’m here (sic).”

Fans loved her candid admission too:

Gemma has been busy recently taking part in E4 TV show Celebs Go Dating, even though there have been rumours of her dating old flame James ‘Arg’ Argent.

But Celebs Go Dating organiser Nadia Essex has slammed Arg for leaving Gemma hanging on for the last six years, since their last failed attempt at romance.

Talking to Metro, the dating guru said: “I know what Arg’s type is. Arg’s type is someone that will make Mark Wright jealous.”

“So ultimately Gemma and Arg have been playing this like dance for six years and as far as I understand if someone is into you, it doesn’t take six years for them to ask you out.”

Ouch!

Gemma, meanwhile, told the Daily Star: “I have been on a few dates on Celebs Go Dating which have thrown a spanner in the works. So what will be will be.”

Ooooh, could it be time to finally say goodbye to lusting after Arg?
