Gemma Collins, 43, admits she thought her 'waters had broken' and questioned whether she was pregnant after struggling with incontinence while jumping on a trampoline


The former TOWIE star, 43, shared her battles with the common ailment during an interview on Friday's This Morning.

Gemma told hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary that she first realised she had incontinence while visiting a trampoline park with her nephew Haydn and stepson Tristan, whose father is her fiancé Rami Hawash. 'The problem can be exacerbated with age and particularly after the menopause when the body is no longer naturally producing the oestrogen that helps strengthen the pelvic floor, which is wrapped around the urethra [the tube that exits the bladder] and has an opening and closing mechanism known as the sphincter. But, if for some reason you can't feel your muscles when you do these exercises or you experience any pain or discomfort, she recommends seeing a pelvic health physio through a referral from your GP.
