Gemma Collins is one of the most in-demand stars in showbiz and always on the go. So it's no surprise that when new calls her for a catch-up, she's driving to another job, having just finished gruelling rehearsals for musical Chicago (in which she'll play 'Mama' Morton). We'd like to confirm no laws were broken during this interview, as Gemma was on hands-free!
Luckily for The GC, her boyfriend Rami Hawash, 48 - who she started dating again last year after breaking off their engagement in 2013 - is incredibly supportive of her career.
And Gemma has recently been there for Rami after he suffered an eye injury at work, leaving him with severe sight issues. "He's had one eye, bless him!" she tells us. "He's been on painkillers and medication up to his eyeballs." We don't think the pun was intended!
The former TOWIE star is a proud stepmum to Rami's three-year-old son Tristan and tells us she spends any spare time she can with the pair of them. And being a stepmum has only reinforced Gemma's desire to have children of her own although she's aware it's going to be a challenge.
"I'm definitely going to need help with it and it's definitely going to take time," she tells us.
Here, Gemma confides in new about her romance with Rami and being a stepmum, but insists that, despite her happy relationship, she doesn't plan to get hitched anytime soon...
Hi Gemma! How are things with you and Rami?
