Gemma Collins has revealed she had lost another two stone after going on weight loss jabs this year. The 44-year-old recently admitted she was on weight loss injections – and claimed that after years of diets it’s the only thing that’s worked for her.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to Instagram to show off her slimmed down figure and has vowed to drop from a size 20 to a size 16 before the summer is out. She declared: “I will finally be free. I will finally be able to live my best life and just be free from all that upset and stress and turmoil that comes with constantly trying to lose excess weight.”
The GC admitted to wearing compression clothing that “makes you feel super snatched” and said she “felt like a million dollars” because she “felt back and ready for action.”
Gemma said she had tried “every diet her entire life” to realize her desire to become a mother and hopes to become pregnant next year. She revealed to her fiance Rami Hawash that she wanted to have a baby with her, and she reportedly lost around three stone between 2019 and 2024.

A source told OK! about her new weight-loss regimen. magazine: “Gemma has tried almost every diet, and nothing has ever really worked for her,” but she has consistently stated that she wants to be healthy. She doesn’t just care about her appearance. She wants to feel confident and as healthy as possible in this.
Gemma has long pleaded for a gastric balloon to be removed after feeling so ill after thinking she might pass away, despite the fact that she has since been open about it. She once remarked, “It was frightful. I ought not to have done it. I anticipated my death. I was unable to get out of bed. Because it felt like there was a foreign object inside of my belly, I felt sick.
Gemma also endured a month-long liminalization and a fibre-only diet that helped her lose 20 pounds in a week. However, the reality TV personality claims that taking NHS-approved jabs has already altered her life.
She told The Sun last month, “I can’t believe I finally found something that works.” I’ve already lost nearly two stone, and it’s completely natural; I can’t even eat anymore! In my first week, I put on about 6 kg of weight loss. By the end of May, I’ll have six stone off of my house.
She joked that this would soon make her “look like a Victoria’s Secret model” and said, “This has been life-changing for me… I feel happier and healthier. This year is something I’m really looking forward to. I might once more be able to wear a bikini.
Gemma continued, “I can’t tell you how good I feel right now. My shoulders seem to have been lifted a lot. Anyone who is experiencing real struggle should do this. You only know what you go through, if you’re overweight, and you know the struggle.

Victor Umeh, the senator representing Anambra Central in the Senate, has protested the Senate’s decision to reject a motion that sought to honor late Prof. Humphrey Nwosu.
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe raised the motion in response to matters of urgent public importance, and it was co-sponsored by South-East minority caucus members who were primarily from the South-East. It recognized Professor Nwosu’s contributions and brave defense of the democratic electoral process during the 1993 presidential elections.
Senator Barau Jibrin, the session’s deputy president, noted that the motion was contentious and that the public had differed regarding Prof. Nwosu’s involvement in the presidential election that was postponed on June 12, 1993.
The “nays” had the day when the motion was ultimately put to a voice vote, effectively rejecting the idea.

Senator Umeh, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, said the events in the red chamber were incredibly undemocratic.
He said, “It’s a question of people not being fair to a man who has done so well, and we want to be uncharitable to him, even to death.” Because he will be buried on Friday, two days, this motion arrived at the most appropriate time.
Therefore, it is impossible to discuss his contributions to the parliament. Those who oppose his death should express their opinions, and those who oppose his death should also state their views. It is very undemocratic to stop the motion in the manner it was done this morning.
Senator Umeh argued that the Senate leadership should have allowed the lawmakers to discuss the motion, arguing that they do so regardless of what the opposition thinks of it.
He claimed that the late Prof. Nwosu, who he claimed gave his all to Nigeria, is unfairly criticized for rejecting the motion.
Palestinian journalists gathered in front of Khan Younis Hospital in Gaza to protest the killings of Mohammad Mansour and Hossam Shabat, both of whom were killed in Israeli airstrikes two days ago.
Rebecca Adlington endured years of cruel taunts over her appearance and the vicious trolling left a lasting impact on her mental health. The BBC Sports presenter and Olympic gold medallist has today received support from fans after revealing she’d been diagnosed with coeliac disease – a condition that affects around one in 100 people in the UK.
In a video shared on Coeliac UK’s Instagram page, the 36-year-old explained how she was “newly diagnosed” and discussed the importance of gluten-free prescriptions for people managing the condition. In response, fans of the swimmer flooded the comments with support for Rebecca. “So good to have someone famous helping to raise awareness. Well done Becky,” wrote one. “Awesome to have @beckadlington backing the campaign! What a role model! Thank you Becky,” another added.

Rebecca’s announcement has been met with kindness, but in the past she’s suffered a wave of cruel bullying online. It comes 10 years after she reportedly underwent cosmetic surgery to have her nose reduced in size and a bump removed, having previously endured years of vile torment. In 2014, the Celebrity MasterChef star allegedly underwent surgery at a top Harley Street clinic, having previously opened up about hating her looks. The sportswoman has never confirmed whether she got the procedure done, but told the Daily Mail: “If somebody else wants to know [that], well tough luck. It’s my life. Loads of women have loads of things that they do – like a Kim Kardashian or whatever – but I just think if you open yourself up in that way, there’s a lot more that happens.”
In 2012, comedian Frankie Boyle came under pressure to apologise to the Olympic star after sparking outrage on social media after writing a cruel tweet that read: “I worry that Rebecca Adlington will have an unfair advantage in the swimming by possessing a dolphin’s face.” Within minutes, some social media users demanded that he apologise to the swimmer. Frankie removed the message without explanation.
David Walliams came to Rebecca’s defence, saying: “I have met and spoken on the phone to Rebecca. She is a beautiful woman, inside and out. It is disappointing that anyone would want to be mean about her appearance. Rebecca’s an absolute inspiration, and a really lovely lady.”
While starring on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2013, the gold medal Olympian broke down in tears over her appearance as she spoke to soap star Lucy Pargeter. During a conversation, Lucy explained that she believed the pressure on young girls to look a certain way made her “ill” when she was younger.
She said: “And it’s also making me very, very insecure that I have to look a certain way. For me, I was an athlete, I wasn’t trying to be a model, but pretty much every single week on Twitter I get somebody commenting on the way I look.” The swimmer was comforted by her fellow campmates, with EastEnders’ Laila Morse telling her that she was beautiful.
Meanwhile, speaking to the Daily Mail following her stint in the jungle, Rebecca discussed the hurtful comments she received regarding her appearance. “Every day I look in the mirror and go, ‘God, I’m not pretty, I’ve got a very big nose. Thats what most of the negative comments on Twitter are about – my nose,” she explained. “People say, ‘Oh God you look like a dolphin,’ or ‘I didn’t realise they let whales into the Olympics, but at least you should be able to swim faster with a nose like that.”
Months later, in April 2014, Rebecca addressed her rumoured nose job for the first time. “If somebody else wants to know [that], well tough luck,” she told the publication. “It’s my life. Loads of women have loads of things that they do – like a Kim Kardashian or whatever – but I just think if you open yourself up in that way, there’s a lot more that happens.”
She also revealed that maturing had helped her realize that the people making the comments were strangers who had never spoken to her, despite trolling having once caused her to “burst into tears.” She continued, “I’m undoubtedly happier with how I look now.
“But I shouldn’t be too happy,” I suppose. When you look in the mirror, you’ll always see the same thing, in my opinion. Many people believe that as you get older you become more at ease with yourself, and I still have a lot of growing up to do.
More recently, Rebecca, who was awarded an OBE in the 2009 New Year Honours list, spoke to Judy Murray in 2021 about being a woman in the public eye. “To be honest I didn’t realise [the impact] until I’d fully retired from swimming. You’re in such a bubble in sport, when you’re in it you just live and breathe performance. I was able to bat things off a lot more because I was performance driven,” she said on Sky Sports’ docuseries Driving Force.
“I saw a therapist last year, and they said they could help me adjust things until I sat down with someone outside and spoke to them directly. I’d like to call therapy the best choice I’ve ever made, in my opinion.
