Gemma Collins to buy new home after stalking ordeal

Terrified star to leave Essex home after seeing a man lurking outside

Gemma Collins is reported to have bought a new home after the terrified star saw a man hanging around outside her current flat.

She lives in a gated apartment in Essex, but it’s said she’ll sell up this spring in favour of a fresh start.

A tearful Gemma called the police earlier this month amid claims she was being terrorised by a stalker.

The reality star was later seen being escorted from her home by two police officers and a security team.

A source revealed: “Poor Gemma is traumatised by this entire episode. She is really upset and anxious, and has been scared to even leave her house.”

Gemma most recently appeared on our screens in the last series of Dancing On Ice, where she clashed with judge Jason Gardiner.

The news of a house move comes after Gemma shared several Instagram posts of a man that she said had previously abused her on the street hanging around outside her home.

Gemma, who was recently seen enjoying a sunshine holiday to Tenerife with her boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent, revealed that she was “scared for her life” in the emotional footage.

The source added: “She is ready to move on. It’s a new chapter in her life and she’s excited about it.”

They continued: “She has been in a gated community for a while and I’m not sure if they’ve improved security since her ordeal with the stalker. Either way she’s moving on.”

A representative for Gemma declined to comment on the story.

Meanwhile, fresh from her trip to Tenerife, it’s been rumoured that the GC is jetting off again – this time to the States.

The queen of Essex is reportedly set to appear in her own six-part reality TV show.
