Gemma Collins eyes up a spot on Strictly and vows to become the BBC show's first ever plus size winner


Gemma Collins is targeting a place on Strictly Come Dancing 's 2024 line-up and believes she can become the dance show's first ever plus-size winner.

The former TOWIE star, 43, is believed to be under consideration by show bosses due to her strong links with the BBC, having recently filmed an episode of genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? She has previously been a ratings hit on rival show Dancing On Ice and Gemma believes she could do likewise on Strictly, while also proving to doubters that larger competitors can succeed. Gemma says she's axed her former favourite go-to foods including sandwiches and biscuits, due to their high sugar content, and no longer eats out at posh restaurants, which has seen her drop from a dress size 26 to a 20.
