Channellin­g her inner David Attenborou­gh, the GC is hoping to find the remains of prehistori­c creatures at her Essex pile.

TOWIE’s Gemma opened up about her love of paleontolo­gy and how she wants to excavate her own grounds.

“I mean, I’ve got a big field in my garden, so I was hoping there was some sort of huge dinosaur out there, or maybe five of them,” she says.

“Wouldn’t that be amazing if a Tyrannosau­rus Rex lived on my land once?

“I absolutely loved school trips when I was a kid, and the Natural History Museum – this is a fact you never knew about me – is one of my favourite places to visit in London. I would love for the Natural History Museum just to open it up for me one day.

“It’s just so I can go in there in peace and really absorb history, and that was one of my favourite subjects whenever I was at school. I used to love the museum trips.”

We’ve seen a different side to diva Gemma over recent months after she spoke about her hope to be Britain’s answer to climate-change activist Greta Thunberg.

She says she wants to follow in the Swedish teen’s footsteps by using her TV status to make a difference to Britain’s future.

Gemma, 40, says: “I think as I’ve got older that my calling on this earth is very different from being a reality star. That gave me the platform, but I think Greta Thunberg – move over, darling.

“Because something’s going on, the elements, the moon, the wind, the sun, the stars, they’re all trying to talk to me.”

But the reality queen hasn’t left her showbiz roots behind – and feels she’s a big enough star to have her very own museum in the future.

Speaking on her podcast, Gemma says: “I love a museum – as you know, I’m hoping there’s going to be the Gemma Collins Museum one day.

“That’s why I never get rid of any of my big costumes and I always say, ‘Honey, there’s going to be a museum of me one day, do not put that outfit in the bin – it’s staying’.

“And I truly believe there’s going to be a museum on me one day.”
