Gemma Collins has revealed she has resorted to weight loss jab Mounjaro in a bid to shed the pounds after being unable to turn over in bed. 

The former TOWIE star has long struggled with her weight and admitted she thought she would die after a gastric bypᴀss surgery that left her in deep pain.

But the 44-year-old now feels her life has been transformed by NHS-approved weight loss jabs, which she claims are being used by ‘everyone’ in showbusiness.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘I can’t believe I’ve finally found something that works. I’ve lost nearly two stone already and it’s been completely effortless – I don’t even want to eat anymore!’ 

‘I got on the scales and lost something like 6kg in my first week. I bet my house by May, I’ll have six stone off. And it’s been effortless.’

Gemma, who at her heaviest weighed 23st and was a size 26, said her goal is to get down to a size 16 by summer. She is currently a size 20.

The reality star has long wanted to start a family with her fiancé Rami Hawash and believes she will ‘give birth to twins’ next year after losing more weight.

But Gemma’s weight loss journey was a difficult one before she found Mounjaro, admitting she would even taken appeтιтe suppresant Reductil as a teenager, which has since been taken off the market. 

Gemma admitted she would feel ‘suicidal’ when she was on diets and has been weighing for food portions and eating boiled eggs everyday for years. 

The star previously had a secret operation to have a gastric balloon fitted but was left feeling so ill after she thought she might die.

She said: ‘It was scary. I should never have done it… I thought I was going to die. I could not get out of bed. The pain in my stomach… because it was like a foreign body in my belly.’

Gemma said even drinking water after the operation made her violently sick and so she rang the hospital begging them to take the balloon out. 

Gemma also said there are plenty of celebrities taking weight loss jabs but most are keeping it to themselves. 

The star insisted she’s not worried about losing her curves and even found at her heaviest she couldn’t put a ‘Sєxy bra’ on and also struggled to turn over in bed.

But will Gemma now be on Mounjaro for the rest of her life in a bid to keep the weight from creeping back on?

She is going to keep taking it for the time being but will allow herself time off it for special occasions like Christmas. 

As well as the weight loss, Gemma believes there’s other benefits to the weight loss jab. She hopes to become a mother and ‘truly believes’ once she has lost more weight, she will get pregnant.

It comes after the star confessed she’d been ‘bullied and tortured’ about her weight over the years and said that she was going to ‘finally be free’.

In her typical GC style, Gemma quipped she would soon be looking like a Victoria’s Secret Model and joked that she would be living on the beach.

She said: ‘This has been life-changing for me. I am going to look like a Victoria’s Secret model. But not only that, I feel healthier, I feel happier.

‘I’m really looking forward to this year, I may finally be able to wear a ʙικιɴι again.’

Explaining the process of the brand and the options their offer, Gemma admitted went: ‘This was a big thing for me to come on here because I just wanted to share with you my journey. I’ve been bullied and tortured all my life for being overweight.

‘I can’t tell you how good I feel right now. I feel like a mᴀssive weight’s been lifted off my shoulders.

‘This if for anyone who the struggle is real. Only if you’re overweight do you know the struggle, you know the downfalls, you know what you go through.’
