With Christmas just around the corner, Gemma Collins is said to be full of "hope and joy" at the prospect of becoming a mother in 2024.

The TV personality recently shared that she is starting her fertility journey, and feels that now is the "perfect time" to welcome a little one, a source tells new.

"Gemma has been trying to become a mother for so long and it's the perfect time, she's so excited for Christmas and is hoping for a miracle and a little one for the new year," claims the source.

Suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) for 13 years, Gemma has been open about her fertility struggles and has written about having suffered three "devastating" miscarriages.

"I cannot get pregnant. It is a nightmare. I cannot seem to get a doctor and I am looking to find a fertility doctor who can help me," the 42-year-old said this summer.

Appearing to have found someone to help, Gemma recently shared that she is ready to get things underway. "I'm starting my fertility journey within the next couple of weeks. I'm going to a clinic so watch these cards and get ready for me, honey," she said.

And she has been given fresh hope by 57-year-old Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, 49, who have had a tough time getting pregnant in the past, after they welcomed their sixth child last month.

"The Tana Ramsay news was the greatest thing to wake up to," Gemma said. "Incredible. It really made me think positively about my future and it kind of took the pressure off. I don't think anyone knew Tana was pregnant, so it was such a lovely. surprise, but I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw it."
