(WHAT DID YOU DO, LOVE? SIT ON IT?)

TOWIE babe Gemma Collins reckons she is going to make it big in America after starring an advert for a Netflix TV show.

Now the reality star is convinced she is on the verge of superstard­om and will be a huge success in Hollywood.

The advert – which features Gemma, 37, as a new prisoner in the jail-based American comedy drama Orange Is The New

Black – has been released online to lure British viewers.

But after flying to New York to film the ad pals say Gemma is convinced she is set to break America as an actress.

Honour

She tweeted: “I just couldn’t believe it when I got the call to do this .... what an honour it was to be flown to NYC and to film with @netflix and the OITNB cast it really was a pivotal turning point in my career and life.”

And a friend added: “Gemma is thrilled with the reaction she has been getting and feels this is the start of her breaking America.

“To think that she is helping promote one of Netflix’s biggest shows is insane – her dream is coming true.

“Now that she’s on the radar of Netflix, she’s been in discussion­s about doing a fly-on-thewall reality TV series.

“All their British content goes down great with U.S. audiences and they feel Gemma has natural star quality.”
