I probably felt more beautiful before I went on TV. 'Cos I get so much criticism now.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with a bit of glam, but do you know what? I'm not bothered about getting a reservation in the latest restaurant.

After six years of doing it, the weird thing on 'Towie' is that we can't explain to people that we're famous. We're doing a show where we have to act like normal people.

I hate heights and I hate every single creepy crawly going.

I've only got to see an animal on TV and I start screaming. I don't like the feeling of claustrophobia either.

I love the fact that TV enables me to help other women.

I absolutely love 'TOWIE.'

I'm not a presenter - I'm a star.

There was something in my brain when it came to exercising - my stomach would churn, my heart would go and beat funny. I'd be like: 'I just don't want to do this.'

When I go to the shopping centre, I'm not the GC. I'm just there with my mum.

I don't stumble at any hurdle.

I personally need my own tunnels.

Ever since I was a little girl I've had this affinity to connect with spirits and talk to them.

I have endured pain and suffering in my life, things haven't always been easy, I have suffered. And now I can help people in their lives.

I think I'm a witch because I'm very connected to nature.

Food became my coping mechanism and I've never been able to break that cycle.

I love directing as I've got such a fantastic, a creative mind.

I walk around like I'm a billionaire, I believe in the universe, I never worry about money and that's why money comes to me.

I treat people throughout the year, my mates with children, every time I see them I give them 40 quid, or I go to Amazon and get them a gift- no one goes without.

When I'm ready, I'll have a baby - and I will love that.

I've been having singing lessons whenever I can fit them in.

I have a half an hour window that if I don't go to sleep in that time frame I am up all night.

I've heard Simon Cowell is awake all through the night... To be honest that is when I get all my work done.

I've not forgotten where I came from but I've grown and I've evolved and that is the secret to being a reality star.

I'm not one of these average reality people that are permanently doing Instagram posts, I break the mould, I break the Internet.

I constantly know that showbiz is going to be short-lived, you have to grab every opportunity as well as you can.

I am Gemma Collins. I don't have to answer to anyone about my fashion choices.

There's criticism, and there's calling someone a fridge.

I could grow my own patch, make some apple pies and start selling them at the local country fair.

I've always really loved nature, I did a lot of horseriding as a young girl.

I've always dreamed big.

I want to travel the world.

At the end of the day, there's always going to be younger, prettier girls but I know what I bring to the table.

There is only one GC, so whoever does end up with me in the end is a very lucky person.

To be honest, I don't mind Jason Gardiner, I've always found him amusing.

People just can't believe I'm a big girl and I'm successful.

I'm not apologetic for who I am.

I'll always be an Essex girl at heart but I've matured and I've evolved and with my work I'm in the West End all the time.

Because I was given everything I didn't know the value of money. My dad always bailed me out.

I'm not the Towie girl I once was, I'm not that girl anymore.

I can't go shopping like I did before I was famous. It has to be planned now. I can't walk around a shopping centre. Even when I have four security guards with me, shoppers run towards me. It's fun, but it's difficult when you're trying to get your bits.

People all want to hug me. They want to touch The GC!

I am a very creative person.

You know James Corden - I'm like a version of him but in a girl.

I didn't go to uni and although I don't have regrets in my life, I have two nephews and I'd encourage them to go to uni as I don't think you need to grow up too quick.

Everyone out there is growing up too quickly, university does give you responsibility but you're still learning and you have time to go out and have fun.

Any members of the IIluminati, feel free to come on my podcast. I'm not scared of it, I'd like to know more.

I radiate on a different frequency - or you can call it energy - than most. I vibrate at a different energy force.

The reason I know I'm different to other people is I'm awake in the night, like all mythical creatures.

It's nice to play mum sometimes.
