Gemma Collins, a star from "The Only Way Is Essex" (TOWIE), recently disclosed in an interview with The Mail's "Everything I Know About Me" podcast that she edited her photos to appear fatter on social media to earn money. Collins revealed she was sent to a bootcamp, where she exercised for eight hours a day, and then signed a lucrative deal worth £20,000 to lose weight. Despite her efforts, an editor later told her that she "hadn't got thin enough" during an official weight loss unveiling interview.
Collins also mentioned that while appearing on TOWIE, she was asked to promote a "skinny jab" and would deliberately pose to look heavier to better highlight the weight-loss results. In the third episode of the podcast, Collins shared details of her personal life, including rekindling her relationship with ex-boyfriend Alex Moss, who had attacked her just days before her appearance on "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!"
New episodes of the podcast "Everything I Know About Me" are released every Thursday and are available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
