Early life

Gemma Clair Collins was born on 31 January 1981 at Oldchurch Hospital in Romford, East London. She is the daughter of Joan Collins (née Williams), who worked as a part-time hairdresser, and Alan Collins, the director of Unisystems Freight, an import-export shipping company. She has an older brother named Russell, who is also a director of their father's company. Shortly after her birth, the family moved from a house in Collier Row and Collins was raised in Rise Park where she attended Rise Park Infant School. Collins described her childhood as being "filled with love" and said that although money was "tight", her father still managed to take them on family holidays and said she has "very happy memories" of her early years.

Collins then went on to attend Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls. She enjoyed performing arts from a young age and attended dance lessons and stage school. At the age of 14, she began attending the Sylvia Young Theatre School and successfully auditioned for a part in The Sound of Music. Collins' mother was encouraging and said she knew that her daughter would one day become famous. Collins was bullied at school for being outgoing and confident, and so following the success of her father's business, her parents decided to move her to Raphael Independent School, a private school, for her final year of education. She left school at the age of 16 with a G in GCSE Maths. Reflecting on her time at school, Collins said "I remember sitting in the exam room for my maths GCSE and thinking, "I'm going to be famous, I don't need maths."

Collins had various Saturday jobs as a teenager, including working in a sweet shop and at the clothes shop Warehouse, before becoming a waitress at a local pub called The Orange Tree. After leaving school, she subsequently signed up to a media studies course at South Essex College but stopped attending after a few weeks as she found it boring. Collins also held a job at the clothes shop Benetton and spent several weeks working in a care home, looking after those who were suffering from mental illnesses. Her first appearance on television was in the ITV documentary Snobs, which aired in January 2000. The series focused on people who believed they were a different class. Following her appearance on the show, Collins, aged 18 at the time, visited an agent who told her that she "had charisma but was too fat to be on TV" and suggested that she should lose two stone. Collins held various admin jobs and roles working on reception during her twenties, as well as being an assistant to a senior executive at stockbrokers Cantor Fitzgerald which Collins said she "blagged" by being confident in interviews. She subsequently worked at a recruitment agency in London before becoming a receptionist at a BMW showroom in Harold Wood, where she retrained to become a sales executive.

Career

2011–2017: ''The Only Way Is Essex'', ''I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'' and ''Celebrity Big Brother''

In January 2011, Julie Childs, mother of Collins' friend Amy, suggested to producers of the ITV2 reality series The Only Way Is Essex that Collins would be an appropriate subject. They visited Collins' house and subsequently filmed her and her friends for two weeks. After returning to work as a car sales executive for a week, she was cast in the programme and began appearing in The Only Way Is Essex from its second series beginning in March 2011. Her first scene saw her attempting to sell a car to Kirk Norcross and taking him for a test drive. Collins ultimately quit her job to appear on the programme full time, and was paid £50 a day for her early appearances on the show, which she described as a "massive risk". Her mother Joan joined the programme during the fifth series in April 2012. In April 2013, Collins released her debut autobiography Basically...: My Life as a Real Essex Girl, which became a bestseller in its first week of release.

In January 2014, Collins took part in the second series of the ITV diving competition Splash!. During training, Collins suffered severe bruising and admitted she had to overcome a fear of water. She became the third celebrity to be eliminated after losing the splash-off to Michaela Strachan in the first heat. In November 2014, she took part in the fourteenth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on ITV. During the first episode of the series, Collins and her campmates were required to parachute into the jungle via helicopter, however she refused to do so, becoming hysterical before the helicopter had taken off and was instead driven into camp. After believing she had caught malaria and struggling with the lack of food, Collins withdrew from the series on the third day after spending 72 hours in the jungle. She was subject to online trolling and ridicule from the show's viewers after her exit, later revealing that she was attacked and robbed by a former boyfriend the day prior to flying out to Australia, as well as her mother's health issues, which contributed towards her reasons for quitting the show. Collins received a reduced fee for her appearance, the entirety of which she donated to the charity Save the Children. In August 2015, following the conclusion of the fifteenth series of The Only Way Is Essex, Collins announced she would be leaving the show after four years. However, she subsequently returned for the Christmas special episode of the sixteenth series and continued to appear on the programme sporadically for the next four years, with her appearances becoming less frequent in latter series due to her other commitments. She made her final appearance on the show during the twenty-fifth series in November 2019. Collins was voted the show's "Most Iconic Cast Member" in the special anniversary episode TOWIE Turns 10: All Back to Essex in September 2020, for which she made a cameo appearance in a video acceptance message.

In January 2016, she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house to participate as a housemate in the seventeenth series. Collins became known for her "diva outbursts" on the show, one of which saw her refuse to be locked inside a cage as part of a shopping task and proclaim to fellow housemate Darren Day that she was "claustrophobic", which would become one of her most well known memes. Her other notable moments in the house included gifting Tiffany Pollard a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shoes for her birthday, before taking them back, resulting in a confrontation, as well as confiding in the former that she believed she was pregnant, ultimately discovering she was not. Collins also struggled with being unable to maintain her hair within the house, exclaiming to Big Brother that her "hair was frazzled" and berated them for not providing heated rollers. She would later sacrifice the hot water in the house to receive a blow dry as part of an immunity prize. Collins received nine nominations from her housemates throughout the series, facing a total of three evictions, two of which she survived on days 11 and 18 respectively. She also won immunity from the fifth eviction after receiving a "gold mask" during the "Forgotten Theatre" task. Three days prior to the final, after being nominated against soap actresses Danniella Westbrook and Stephanie Davis, she became the seventh housemate to be evicted, having received the fewest votes to be saved, spending a total of 29 days in the house. In October 2016, Collins appeared on Sky News where she was interviewed by Kay Burley about the campaign to remove the word "Essex girl" from the Oxford English Dictionary. Collins described the definition, which stereotypes Essex girls as "unintelligent, promiscuous, and materialistic", as derogatory and suggested that the meaning be changed. The expression was removed from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary following the campaign in December 2020.

In January 2017, Collins took part in the second series of Sugar Free Farm, alongside five other celebrities as they attempted to live on a sugar-free diet. During the show she attempted fishing and despite the strict detox plan, Collins said she actually gained weight during the process. In June 2017, Collins returned to Big Brother, as a special guest for a shopping task on the eighteenth civilian series, spending four days in the house alongside fellow ex-housemates Marnie Simpson and Nicola McLean. In October 2017, Collins presented the BBC Radio 1 Teen Award for Best TV Show to Love Island and, after announcing the winner, fell through an opening in the stage. The clip later went viral on social media. In an interview with Irish News, Collins said "the seriousness of it is, it could have been really fatal". After the video's widespread attention, further videos of Collins were used as memes, including scenes from her appearances on The Only Way Is Essex and Celebrity Big Brother.

2018–2021: ''Dancing on Ice'' and ''Diva''

In January 2018, Collins appeared on Celebrity 100% Hotter in an attempt to change her style. Collins admitted she was "terrified" about having a makeover but said she was keen to try out some different trends. In February 2018, she took part in the fourth series of Celebs Go Dating. During her time on the show, Collins walked out on one of her dates within the first few minutes after he branded her a "diva" due to her being late, whilst she was also reprimanded by the dating experts after she failed to turn up to her date with Laurence, who was planning to take her to Paris. In June 2018, she released her second book, titled The GC: How to Be a Diva, in which she provides advice and self help for women to gain confidence. In an interview on Loose Women, she admitted to using a ghostwriter. She also guest starred in a promotional advert for Netflix's Orange Is the New Black.

Collins went on to appear in Gemma Collins: Diva España, a one-off reality television special which aired in August 2018. In September 2018, Collins took part in the thirteenth series of Celebrity MasterChef. She was eliminated in the second round of the third heat after her sea bass served in greaseproof paper failed to impress the judges. In December 2018, Collins took part in a one-off celebrity special of All Together Now. Collins first performed "Big Spender" by Shirley Bassey where she received a score of 88 after impressing the judges with her vocal ability, which secured her a place in the top 3. She then sang "This Is Me" by Keala Settle and The Greatest Showman ensemble and subsequently finished in third place with a score of 39.

Between January and February 2019, Collins took part in the eleventh series of the ITV skating competition Dancing on Ice, alongside professional partner Matt Evers. Her debut performance saw her skate to "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé, in which she performed the splits on ice and attempted to lift her partner Evers at the end of the routine. She scored 16.0 out of 40.0 points, ultimately receiving the most votes from the public and got through to the next week, with 28.23% of the vote. Following her performance to "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in Musicals Week, in which Collins was dressed as Marilyn Monroe and concluded with her being suspended in the air on a giant diamond ring, saw the couple receive 13.0 out of 40.0, the lowest marks of that year's series. Collins subsequently had an on-screen argument with judge Jason Gardiner, who made comments about her weight and lack of commitment to the series, and accused him of selling stories about her to the press. Despite finishing bottom of the leaderboard, they made it through to the following week, where Collins showed notable improvement during her routine to Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now, however she suffered a fall towards the end of the performance, catching her toe pick on the ice and ultimately falling flat on her face, causing her significant injuries and enduring damage to her knee. Despite the fall, the couple received 16.5 points out of 40.0, their highest scores of the competition and subsequently progressed to the next week. For week five, Collins skated to "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift, whilst dressed as the Evil Queen for that week's Fairy Tale themed episode. She scored 13.5 points out of 40.0, after which she broke down in tears and admitted her loss of confidence after her fall the previous week. Despite finishing bottom of the leaderboard again, Collins was voted through by the public. In week six, they skated to "Survivor" by Destiny's Child, with Collins attempting the three required elements for that week's routine. They scored 15.5 points out of 40.0, before ending up in the skate-off for the first time against Ryan Sidebottom and his professional partner Brandee Malto. After their skate-off performance to Whitney Houston's "Queen of the Night", which Collins admitted they "hadn't practiced for weeks", they became the fifth couple to be eliminated from the competition, after the judges unanimously voted to save Sidebottom and Malto, ultimately finishing in eighth place.

It was subsequently nominated within the Authored Documentary category at the 27th National Television Awards.

Collins received criticism from several actors and theatre fans on social media who described her as a "stunt casting". Responding to critics, Collins said she "auditioned for the role and trained really hard" adding that she "didn't just get it because of [her alter ego] the GC".

In October, Collins collaborated with Zymurgorium, a distillery in Manchester, to launch her own premium gin liqueur as part of the company's "FlaGINgo" range.

In May 2022, Collins announced she was working with the brand again to support the launch of their new range of sex toys. She promoted three different vibrators and expressed the importance of "self-love" adding that the use of sex toys was "empowering" and that she wanted to help break the taboo around talking about them.

In December 2021, Collins took part in a debate at the Oxford Union which was part of an advertising campaign for Sainsbury's. She argued that modern and alternative dishes should be served on Christmas Day as opposed to traditional Christmas food and stated that younger generations such as Gen Z would prefer unconventional dishes, endorsing the supermarket's festive food selection. Collins won the debate and said she "had a brilliant time debating at the Oxford Union, it was an absolute dream come true for me", adding that "We should embrace the newness, new taste, new traditions." On 8 and 9 December, Collins took part in "On Trend", a shopping experience broadcast live on TikTok. As part of the two-day event, Collins featured alongside influencers and content creators to promote products that viewers could purchase.

The residents of Sandwich then cast their votes on whether crisps should be kept in or out, with the majority choosing the former, resulting in Collins winning the debate and being crowned "President of Sandwich". In July 2022, Collins collaborated with the freemium online board and card game Bingo Blitz. As part of the collaboration, she was set a week of challenges to promote the game which consisted of Collins explaining her morning routine, performing a jazzercise dance to Meghan Trainor's "All About That Game", visiting Leicester Square to distribute Bingo Blitz merchandise, answering trivia questions and delivering a motivational closing speech to her fans, who had the opportunity to win £1,000 towards a night out by entering a giveaway. In December 2022, after attending the Malibu Courtside Confessions event earlier in the year, Collins collaborated with the liqueur brand Malibu, in which she appeared in a range of videos on social media, encouraging consumers to submit their Christmas wishes to her. Of the collaboration, Collins said: "I'm all about mixing up Christmas traditions – it's a time of year that should be all about you and that's why I'm teaming up with Malibu to grant people's Christmas wishes this year". Collins described Malibu as her "absolute favourite drink" and subsequently relayed her own wish, "a "GC" version of Santa's sleigh, in bright pink, with unicorns instead of reindeer, filled with disco goodies, that could fly around the world in one night". She added "Could you imagine how many Christmas parties I could then go to?! So, this year, if you'd like a little bit of Malibu fairy dust to make your Christmas season sparkle – don't ask Santa, ask me (the GC)!"

In April 2023, Collins began fronting a campaign for the menstrual hygiene brand Always, in which she promoted their "Always Discreet" sanitary products. Collins, who has suffered with urinary incontinence herself, said of the collaboration that she wanted to "help break down the stigma around the subject for women", describing it as "a taboo subject" and said that "it's really sad to know that women are stopping doing their activities because of leaks." Collins said she was "so surprised to find out how many women, just like [her], [were] also experiencing bladder leaks" adding that she had previously "held back on doing things [she enjoyed], like trampolining, riding a bike or working out, and dancing the night away with friends, because [she] was worried about bladder leaks" and that "since learning that pelvic floor exercises can help to manage them, and using pads for those moments when [she needed] more protection, [she] no longer [had] to hold back." Collins continued to collaborate with the brand over the following year to "get women talking and empower those experiencing bladder leaks to live life without compromise" and subsequently discussed her own experience on This Morning.

In July 2023, she collaborated with the internet service provider Plusnet, for which she assumed the role of an agony aunt and answered queries from the public in an online video segment titled "Gemma's Dilemmas". Collins said of her role: "From technology mishaps to fashion disasters, I know what it's like to deal with daily frustrations and so this is why I am launching my new campaign, Gemma's Dilemmas, to give my advice to the nation and solve their problems – one step at a time. Keeping things simple is the key to a happy life babes, so let's hope the nation takes a leaf out of my book." In August 2023, Collins partnered with the pizza chain Papa John's in which she was appointed "Head of Cheese" and attended a branch of the restaurant dressed in the company uniform to oversee the staff and promote their "Crispy Cheese Base" flavour pizza. In the online promotion video, Collins told a series of "cheese related" jokes and assisted a staff member in making a pizza before handing them out to the public on the street. In September 2023, Collins collaborated with TK Maxx to promote their "quiet luxury" clothing trend, which consisted of "sophisticated, low key, and timeless clothing often associated with neutral tones, soft and tactile materials, and a polished aesthetic." Collins visited the Watford branch of the company as part of their "There's No Deal Like a TK Deal" campaign, where she browsed the store and was subsequently photographed in two outfits. Of the collaboration, Collins said: "Everyone knows I'm a big personality with a bold personal style to match, but I wanted to shake things up in the most unexpected way and show everyone the GC can tone down her look, without toning down her character." She added, "Neutral colours and simpler pieces are obviously worlds apart from my usual look, but I've genuinely loved seeing how I could do quiet luxury – who knew I could ever do anything "quiet" eh?" Later that month, Collins began broadcasting live on TikTok in colloboration with TikTok Shop and over the next year, engaged in live videos with various companies on the app to promote a variety of products including clothing, cosmetics, jewellery, homewares and confectionary, as well as items from her own fashion and beauty ranges. In November 2023, Collins collaborated with Dr Pepper as part of their "Try More Weird" campaign to promote "Dr Pepper Zero" in which she engaged in a social media video alongside Jedward where they pretended to dye her hair the brand's dark pink colour. Collins took part in a promotional photoshoot wearing a red wig whilst holding a can of the drink and said "Dr Pepper Zero are encouraging people to get out of their comfort zone and Try More Weird [...] So, this is me doing something that I never thought I'd do and turning my iconic blonde locks the colour of the new Dr Pepper Zero can! You guys know how much I love Dr Pepper Zero so I'm so excited to be part of this campaign and encourage you all to try something you never thought you would! Starting with an ice cold can of Dr P!". She collaborated with the company again in February 2025, to promote the "Cherry Crush Zero Sugar" flavour, in which she and Jedward attempted a Guinness World Record to see how many post-it notes they could attach to her within a minute. The attempt, which was overseen by an adjudicator, saw them attach 30, failing to break the record of 70.

Collins opening the new Elf Concierge Service at [[Heathrow Express]] in December 2023

In December 2023, Collins visited Heathrow Express at London Paddington station where she dressed as a fairy godmother to help promote their "Elf Concierge Service", alongside staff dressed elves who were there to assist passengers with their luggage and offer travel advice. Collins cut the ribbon to open the service and handed out teddy bears to the public. Speaking of the experience, Collins said: "It's been great to help Heathrow Express launch their Christmas Elf Concierge service. I love this time of year and getting to spend it with family and friends. Hopping on board your train, safe in the knowledge that you've got a very cute teddy to gift a loved one at the other end is a really fun and lovely thing to do". In March 2024, following her engagement the previous month, Collins collaborated with the online wedding planning company Hitched, in which she a compiled a "wedding wishlist" using vendors from the companies marketplace to decide her ideal venue, transportation, catering, entertainment, flowers, photographer, wedding planner and decorations. In September 2024, Collins fronted a campaign for Pension Attention in which she appeared in an advert for a parody face cream, encouraging the public to "pay their pension some attention". Collins also appeared on Sky News alongside Iona Bain, the founder of Young Money Blog, to discuss the campaign, which ultimately won The PRWeek Corporate Affairs Award for "Best Use of Social Media and/or Influencers" in the "Corporate and/or City" category. The same month, she partnered with Models of Diversity to appear in a billboard campaign alongside a group of other women, raising awareness about the lack of diversity within fashion weeks. Collins said of the campaign that she was "Getting a bit sick of the fashion industry still not letting plus-size women walk the runways" adding that she felt "plus-size fashion was at an all time low" and that she was "shocked by how bad the regular sites had become". In November 2024, Collins attended the Swansea Christmas Parade as part of a collaboration with McDonald's for their "Gift Drop" campaign. For the event, she dressed in a red ball gown and offered the public the chance to try items from the companies' Festive Menu ahead of its launch, serving from a food van. In December 2024, after collaborating with Baileys Irish Cream and appearing at one of their events earlier in the year, she hosted The Baileys Christmas Sip and Sing event where she performed alongside The Gold Collective choir. Of the event, Collins said: "Tis the season to Baileys, honey! Christmas is all about bringing people together for a bit of festive joy, a Christmas singalong, and of course, some Baileys".

In June 2025, Collins collaborated with the motorised kitchen appliances company Ninja to promote their slushy machine Ninja SLUSHi.

As part of the partnership, Collins said "Oversharing is caring huns, don't stress about it – I've overshared all my life and I love it. Now with Sky Mobile, we can share even more – by gifting data so that those you love can keep the group chats going strong!" In October 2025, Collins starred in an advertisement for the gambling company Paddy Power alongside Danny Dyer and Coleen Rooney, in which Collins makes her way through a casino calling after Dyer, referencing her famous meme exclaiming "I'm claustrophobic Danny" before telling Rooney to "have a day off hun".

Alter ego

During her time on The Only Way Is Essex, Collins earned a reputation for being a diva. Her alter-ego was first created during the show's third series when her co-star Sam Faiers referred to Collins using her initials "The GC". Collins describes her alter-ego as an "intervention" and says she and The GC are "very different people". Speaking in 2020, she said "Although I'm Gemma Collins, I've got my brand the GC. Gemma Collins is a homely girl who loves watering hanging baskets. The GC, which is my brand, is basically a character that's over the top that people either love her or hate her, but on the back of her I've managed to launch perfumes and lipsticks." Collins embraces the term "diva" and says the word "empowers her". Her influences include Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Dolly Parton.

Humanitarian work

Collins is a supporter of animal rights. She has appeared in numerous campaigns for the animal rights organisation PETA. In 2013, she posed naked for the "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. In 2020, Collins was photographed in a bathtub to highlight the fact that marine animals are separated from their families and confined to concrete tanks. In 2021, she posed with a skinned fox as she backed the campaign to end the fur trade in the United Kingdom. Addressing then prime minister Boris Johnson, Collins said "Take it from an icon, Boris – no one needs fur in their wardrobe. Do the right thing – ban fur imports and sales. Let's wear our skin and let the animals keep theirs." Speaking on her podcast, Collins expressed her interest in becoming a humanitarian and said she wishes to promote conservation and animal welfare to the next generation. In November 2022, Collins opened a newly refurbished Cats Protection adoption centre in Chelmsford, during which she was given a tour and the opportunity to name one of the cats, which she named after Mr. Mistoffelees from Cats. Following the re-opening, Collins said she was "putting out a plea to help these amazing people give cats a home". In March 2023, Collins assisted with the launch of the Be A Cat Cafe in Soho, a pop-up experience from cat food brand Felix. Attending the event, Collins said "I'm here for cattitude and think that if people tried being more like a cat, they'd be a lot more chilled out and relaxed".

In June 2023, Collins attended the Animal Ball at Lancaster House in support of Elephant Family, a charity dedicated to protecting the Asian elephant from extinction. During the event, she met Charles III and Queen Camilla, with whom she discussed her elephant sculptures she purchased in support of the organisation, before inviting them to go on a safari with her. Collins has been a long-time supporter of Camp Beagle, a protest camp set up by animal rights activists who campaign for the closure of MBR Acres, a breeding facility for beagles used in laboratory research. In February 2024, she gave a speech at the rally outside of the Houses of Parliament where she encouraged people to "keep making noise" about MBR Acres and vowed to "Save the Beagles" by ensuring it's closure, prior to attending the parliamentary debate to ban toxicology tests on animals. In October 2024, Collins endorsed the National Fostering Group, supporting their campaign for more foster carers in the United Kingdom. Speaking alongside her mother, who was fostered as a child, Collins said she was considering becoming a foster carer, and urged others to do so. In November 2024, Collins attended the Southport Festive Fun Day, where she performed "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".

Media presence

Collins has been a subject of press and tabloid attention since she first began appearing on The Only Way Is Essex in 2011. Her battle with her weight is something that has been widely documented throughout her career, however she has been consistently praised for her confidence, and has promoted body positivity and encouraged women to love themselves no matter what their size.

Collins has a large following on social media, having amassed over 2 million followers on Instagram and over 1 million on Twitter. Such is her popularity, she is often paid to promote products and businesses on her pages and can earn up to £75,000 in one day from social media posts. Collins has stated that she only endorses products that she believes in.

Collins is widely known for her diva meltdowns and recognisable catchphrases during her appearances on television and in the media, and as a result became the subject of numerous internet memes. She was branded the "meme queen" by the BBC whilst Peter Robinson of The Guardian described her as a "social media powerhouse who has literally made a meme out of mispronouncing the word meme".

Collins is a staple of the "hun subculture" and has been regarded as the "Queen of Huns". Her popularity within the LGBT community has seen her make various appearances at nightclubs and events including G-A-Y and Glitterbomb. In June 2023, she performed at the Mighty Hoopla event in Brockwell Park. In July 2024, Collins attended a Belfast Pride event as part of BPerfect Cosmetics Rave 4 Pride, in which she judged a talent competition and attempted DJing. She is the most frequently impersonated celebrity on the Snatch Game on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, having been portrayed by Cheryl Hole and Kitty Scott-Claus in the first and third series respectively.

Collins has gone viral on social media several times. On one such occasion in July 2017, she attended the ITV Summer Party wearing an outfit designed by Gerda Truubon. The orange ruched dress with gold chain detailing gained attention due to the distinctive large shoulder pads. Several memes and comparisons were made, with comedian Alan Carr later dressing up as Collins for Jonathan Ross' Halloween party. She also gained notoriety for her falls at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards and on Dancing on Ice, the former of which was included in the "Fall of Shame" segment on The Wendy Williams Show in America. In August 2020, Collins was referenced in the Sky Atlantic series I Hate Suzie, featuring in the Instagram feed of the title character Suzie Pickles (Billie Piper)'s stalker. In September 2020, Collins was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by online pranksters Josh Pieters and Archie Manners. In a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Institute, they cited Collins falling through the stage as an "act of unification" for the nation, and claimed that the "GC effect" could bring peace to North Korea. Following the successful nomination, Collins said she was "surprised and overwhelmed", and although she "couldn't see why someone would want to nominate [her]", she added that she was "all about world peace [...] love conquers all. Peace is everything".

Personal life

Collins lives in Roxwell, Chelmsford in a barn conversion which she bought for £1.35 million in 2021. She has described the house as her "dream home" and has had multiple renovations including a swimming pool and a summer house. Collins enjoys gardening and has expressed her love of plants, as well as her passion for animals and nature. She has two dogs and two cats, as well as chickens. Collins has several life-size animal sculptures inside her home and in her garden, including a horse with a disco ball and a giraffe lamp, as well as a wooden Asian mother elephant and its calf, the former of which she donated £22,000 to CoExistence, an environmental art campaign conceptualised by the Elephant Family.

Relationships

In 2012, Collins dated fellow The Only Way Is Essex cast member Charlie King. During their relationship, she had suspicions that King was gay. He later came out in 2014. Following their split, Collins began a relationship with mechanic Rami Hawash, whom she had previously dated in 2011, and the pair became engaged on 25 December 2013; however, the engagement was called off a few weeks later. In November 2014, Collins was assaulted by her then boyfriend, Alexander Moss, at her former home in Warley. Reflecting on the incident in 2017, she said her biggest regret was not pressing charges because she was "too scared to see it through". Collins briefly dated James Argent in 2012, before reuniting with ex-boyfriend, Rami. The pair reconciled in December 2017 when Argent professed his love for Collins during The Only Way Is Essexmas and they were in an on-and-off relationship until July 2020. Argent struggled with cocaine addiction which resulted in the breakdown of their relationship. Collins said Argent's addiction made her feel "suicidal" and caused her to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result.

In December 2020, Collins rekindled her relationship with ex-fiancé, Rami Hawash. They reconnected again after attending a Madonna concert together. In July 2021, Collins confirmed their reunion after she was spotted wearing her engagement ring several months prior. During an interview with The Times in December 2021, Collins announced that the pair were planning to get re-engaged however were waiting for the completion of Hawash's divorce to his previous wife, whom Collins has a good relationship with and acts as stepmother to their son. Collins also discussed her plans to have a baby with Hawash as well as a television show to document the pregnancy and baby's birth. In February 2024, Collins and Hawash became engaged for the second time after he proposed to her on a beach during their holiday in the Maldives.

Health

Collins began self-harming as a teenager and did so until her early thirties. The first time she engaged in self-harm was at the age of 13 when she picked up a knife and cut her hand in front of her parents. In 2004, Collins had an abortion when she was around three months pregnant after doctors told her that her baby would most likely be born intersex and was therefore advised to terminate the pregnancy. Following this, the relationship with her boyfriend began to break down and Collins recalls an incident where she slashed her hand open with a kitchen knife to deal with the pain of "grieving for [her] baby and [her] relationship". She also suffered from anxiety attacks and began binge-eating.

Collins suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome and in January 2012, she suffered a miscarriage and gave birth to a four and a half month old foetus on her landing the day before she attended the 17th National Television Awards. In July 2020, Collins suffered a third miscarriage, which she initially suspected to be a heavy period, after which she wrote an open letter to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex detailing her struggles with infertility and thanking her for her "bravery and honesty" for opening up about her own miscarriage. Collins previously admitted her fear about never becoming a mother but has said she "won't give up hope" and hopes to conceive naturally one day.

Collins has battled with her weight since her early twenties, and also suffers from an underactive thyroid. In 2015, Collins underwent surgery to have a designer vagina which cost £2,000. During her appearance on Dancing on Ice in 2019, Collins lost over two stone and continued to lose weight after adapting a more balanced diet and exercise regime. She regularly posted workout videos and shared her fitness journey on social media. In 2020, she announced that she was planning to have a breast reduction. In 2021, Collins had her botox and fillers removed, stating that she "didn't look like herself" and wanted to instead opt for a more natural look.
