Mum reveals precious little Gem

- BY HALINA WATTS Showbiz Editor

SHE’S been trolled, labelled a “brat“and publicly humiliated on live TV.

But Gemma Collins is a survivor who developed a thick skin after being bullied as a child, says her mum Joan, 63.

Her family snaps show Gemma, 37, as a budding actress performing in a 1920s sequinned white frock aged 14 and playing a nun aged 12. Aged seven, she often zipped around on her bike.

Joan said: “People are jealous of her. They’re trolls with nothing better to do with their time.”
