Towie made used car seller Fall and rise of Gemma Collins Viral clip of trap door tumble

When Gemma plunged through the trapdoor at October’s BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards she joked she felt like hapless, fictional singleton Bridget Jones.

There was talk of her suing the BBC unless they offered her a slot on a top TV programme. She is now a contestant on this year’s Celebrity Masterchef, although is still waiting for an invitation to be on Strictly Come Dancing.

Now she is more upbeat about her fall. She calls it her “Madonna moment,” referring to the superstar’s tumble at the 2015 Brit Awards when a dancer tried to remove her cape.

Gemma said: “It took me to another dimension. My life since I fell off that stage has been a whirlwind. My feet haven’t touched the ground.”

Gemma makes a typically grand entrance when she visits the women behind bars in the US prison.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit she announces: “Girls, I hear you talking – yes I am the Queen of England, but you can call me Gemma.”

The actors then raise her disastrous stint in the jungle on I’m a Celebrity, as well as her turn on Celebs Go Dating. Gemma quickly brushes over them then misinterprets what “squats” in prison mean. Gemma said: “It has gone weird. Madly crazy.

“When I went to New York they treated me like a megastar. I was like: ‘What the hell is going on?’

“I embraced it. It was lovely. Who knows what’s going to happen. I just trust the universe and go with it.” Gemma freely admits she wants to make as much money as possible. An ambition shared by her mum Joan, who appeared with her on Loose Women in 2016. Gemma said: “Mum will not be pleased until there are GC Towers next to the Donald Trump ones. She is always pushing me to go bigger and bigger. We have to rein her in sometimes but she sees a lot for me. “It is just a machine this showbiz industry. We are here to make money and then when it is all over you’ll find me on a farm somewhere.

“I’ll be looking through my old magazine cuttings, having a glass of wine and reminiscing: ‘What a crazy life that was’.”

Gemma has just released a book entitled The GC: How to be a Diva. She said: “It doesn’t matter what anyone says about me: love or loathe me, people do want to read about me. Whether they agree or not, I am a talking point.”

Last month she was criticised for refusing to answer questions during a interview to plug her book. But Gemma insisted she is not bothered by any negative comebacks.

She said: “The more people talk and write about me the more I earn. It’s always in my favour.

“For me, I do paid interviews with different magazines to talk about different things.

“So when you are told it is all book related. I just asked: ‘Hun,
