The GC: ‘Men love my hanging baskets’
Gemma talks holiday nookie and floral arrangements
Just imagine a world with Gemma Collins in charge – the streets would be covered in leopard print, Marbella would be the central hub of global power, and we’d get a lot more annual leave. At least, that’s what Gem’s pledging. Chatting to heat, the reality star tells us it’s “barbaric” that the average Brit only gets four weeks off. And with opinions like that, it’s hardly surprising that she’s been chosen as the face of Travel Republic’s Break Up Service, which gives recently split couples the chance to swap their romantic getaway for another holiday. Let’s be honest, after getting back together with James “Arg” Argent yet again, Gem, 38, knows a thing or two about break-ups and sun-soaked vacays.
So, tell us about what the Break Up Service is… You know what it’s like – you book a holiday with someone you’re in love with, and then it all goes tits up. But they come to the rescue and give you a plan B. You never know, you could go away and end up meeting a brand-new partner! Do you reckon holidays can save a relationship? Yeah, as relationships get flat occasionally. But on holiday, you’ve got time to make love, relax, eat your dinner and drink a bottle of wine. If I were running the country, I’d up the statutory holiday. I’m sorry, but how can four weeks a year be normal? It’s abnormal. It’s barbaric! Arg called your recent holiday to Dubai one of the most special times of his life – do you agree? Well, two weeks with the GC, waking up to her every day and getting her undivided attention is like winning the golden ticket, isn’t it? We had a lovely time, actually. What’s the future going to be like for you? You know what, what’s meant for you won’t pass by you. Anyone who gets to marry me is very lucky. I’m financially stable, I’m very loving and I’m homely. There’s nothing I can’t do. I cook, I clean, I do beautiful hanging baskets, I make delicious dinners and I bring the cash into the relationship. I know what I bring to the table. Whoever’s going to stick that big diamond on my finger – may the best man win! What about your career? I’d like to do a big blockbuster. I think there will be a biopic about my life, too. Sheridan Smith can play me – or Renée Zellweger, if she can do an Essex accent. n
