Gemma Collins is proving she’s back and better than ever on I’m A Celebrity All Stars, stunning fans with a dramatic jungle weight loss after surviving on a strict rice-and-beans diet. The 45-year-old TOWIE star returned to the ITV series 13 years after her first stint, determined to redeem herself after quitting just three days into her last appearance.
Speaking to OK!, Gemma revealed that she lost 1st 4lb (8kg) during filming in South Africa last September and described the experience as the “best digital detox and spiritual healing.” She’s also been using her phone less, embracing a more mindful approach to camp life.
Fans have been quick to notice her transformation, especially after she tackled a grueling eating trial alongside Craig Charles. From Fish Eye Pie to Bloody Moory Shots, Gemma pushed through her fears—and even rode into camp via helicopter, a challenge that had once reduced her to tears. Social media erupted with praise, with viewers hailing her comeback as her “redemption era” and declaring she’s carrying the show.
Gemma admitted that her early exit in 2014 had “hung over her head,” but this time, she’s in it to win. “There is no way I am going to be leaving after 72 hours. I am in it to win it,” she told reporters. Claiming the title of Legend would be the ultimate pinnacle of her career, giving her the long-awaited redemption she’s been chasing—and nothing can take it away.
Fans watching Gemma tackle the jungle challenges are already convinced: she’s back, unstoppable, and ready to make this her most triumphant run yet.#newsafro_
