Gemma – who has her own clothing range – was at the show with Lorraine Kelly’s showbiz presenter Dan Wootton.

Sharing a shot with Dan, the recently-voted-off DOI contestant wrote: “Nothing more to say then ….. @brits ✌🏻what an honour it is to be here @danwootton my date for tonight ❤️.”

She then took to InstaStories to explain the thinking behind the red outfit.

The 38-year-old said: “I am just having my outfit made for the BRITs tonight. It’s all happening…

“So I’m so into Gaga right now. When I saw A Star Is Born, oh my God, I fell in love with her.”

She then asked the team: “Would you say I’m doing a bit of a Gaga tonight? GC inspired by Gaga.”

Showing the designer on his hands and knees cutting cloth, he could be heard commenting that the dress is: “Quite Chanel inspired.”
