GEMMA Collins has opened up about how she got revenge on a fashion brand who told her to lose weight early on in her career.
The 40-year-old revealed that, after making the comments about her body, the unnamed brand came back to her last year after her fame sky rocketed.
Revealing it happened shortly after she joined Towie, Gemma said: "Big clothing brand pulled me into a meeting, said they wanted for me to be the ‘face of’.
Sat there telling me I was too fat, go off, lose weight, come back to them." But Gemma had a plan in motion for when the same brand got back in touch with her.
