Gemma Collins admits she has ‘insecurities’ despite ‘GC’ alter-ego

Having appeared on Dancing on Ice, TOWIE and now the star of her own reality TV show Diva Forever – TV fans will know the character ‘The GC’ can be sassy, demanding and a bit of a diva.

But, Gemma, 38, has confirmed it is in fact just a character, and she’s not as confident as her alter-ego makes out.

She also admitted the GC can take it too far. ‘My fans get the difference between the GC and Gemma. They know the GC is a bit of fun and she’s out there,’ Gemma told Lorraine Kelly in a candid and honest interview.

‘Some of the behaviour is shocking but that’s why I make great TV.’

Although the GC appears confident and unphased by those that don’t like her, Gemma admitted she was touched by Jesy Nelson’s BBC3 documentary Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out and the Little Mix star’s admission that she’d attempted suicide after online trolling.

Hinting that she can relate to what Jesy has been through, Gemma confessed: ‘I do have my insecurities. Seeing what Jesy went through I was crying this morning.

‘She is absolutely beautiful. My hairs are standing on end over what she went through. A lot of us go through that in the public eye.’
