Gemma Collins 'I Won't Talk Unless You've Read My Book!'

Gemma Collins – who shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex – has released a book based on her life. But she won’t answer questions unless you’ve read it…

Gemma Collins 'I Won't Talk Unless You've Read My Book!'

There’s no denying Gemma Collins is one of the standout characters from ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex and, since turning into a walking, talking social media meme, the 37-year-old ex-car saleswoman has enjoyed fame on a different level. 

But it seems The GC (as she refers to herself) has got a bit too big for her Louboutins as she prepares to release her second book The GC: How To Be A Diva

When Now sits down with Gem, it becomes clear it’s the perfect title for her book, as she lays down the law. ‘Has this girl been briefed?’ she asks her agent.

Despite the fact that we haven’t been sent a copy of the book (which hasn’t yet been released), Gemma isn’t impressed to learn we haven’t read it.  

And she can’t seem to grasp the concept that it’s a book supposedly about her, written by her, meaning she should be able to talk for hours about it.   

But we’re repeatedly told, ‘We can’t do this if you haven’t read the book.’ We power on through, asking questions about Gemma’s life, before she tells us, ‘This interview is supposed to be about the book.’ Which is about your life, right? Confused? Us too… 

Hi Gemma! How are you?
