Gemma Clare Collins (born 2 February 1981) is an English television personality, reality television star and writer. She is best known for being a cast member of the ITVBe semi-reality programme The Only Way Is Essex, joining the show in its second series in 2011. In 2014, she took part in I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! but withdrew after just three days of taking part in the show. In 2016, she took part in Celebrity Big Brother 17.
Collins was born in Romford, Essex and attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School as a child.
In 2011, Julie Childs, mother of Collins' schoolfriend Amy, informed producers of the ITV2 semi-reality programme The Only Way Is Essex–in which Amy featured–about Collins, who was a used car sales woman at the time. They came round to Collins' house and then filmed her and her friends for two weeks. After going back to work selling cars for a week, she was hired and joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex from its second series in 2011; her first ever scene was selling a car to Kirk Norcross. Gemma's mother Joan joined in the fifth series in April 2012.
Collins occasionally presents competition segments on ITV programme This Morning and has also made appearances on Loose Women, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Big Brother's Bit on the Side, Celebrity Juice and I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!.
