Gemma’s next exciting project
Gemma’s kind words about her mum come not long after it was revealed that she is set for a major new role.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Gemma will be taking part in this year’s Celebrity Bake Off.
Gemma is joining a whole host of stars in this year’s programme, including David Schwimmer, Jesy Nelson, Tom Daly, and Paddy McGuinness.
Viewers, however, were divided over this year’s line-up.
“Either end of the celebrity spectrum David Schwimmer, A-list. Gemma Collins, Z-list,” one fan of the show tweeted.
“No thanks. Won’t be watching when Z-lister Collins is on,” another wrote.
“It’s mostly a great line-up but Gemma Collins on anything is an automatic avoid for me, unfortunately,” a third said.
