Gemma Collins has admitted to gaining 4lbs at the start of the coronavirus lockdown after indulging in tiger bread loaves with butter.

The 39-year-old turned to comfort eating as the UK entered lockdown and she dealt with the breakup of her relationship with former TOWIE co-star James Argent.

Since then The GC has lost more than three stone in weight through a combination of exercise and controversial 'skinny jabs' - and is now looking to lose a further two to three stone.

"I went through a whole tiger loaf bread with butter to cheer myself up," she told The Sun. "Everyone in lockdown turned to food and I certainly did in the first few weeks.

"I probably gained about four pounds, it was nothing major but I have certainly taken it off since then and I've lost about three stone in weight.

"It's been a great amount of weight to lose but I've still got a bit of a way to go if I'm being honest. I still want to lose another two or three stone."

The new series of The GC's reality show Gemma Collins: Diva Forever and Ever begins on ITVBe tomorrow night.
