Poor Gemma Collins hasn’t had much luck in recent months – she split from her ex after they had a big fight and she had a terrible time in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle where she self-diagnosed malaria.
Just when things started to look up after she made her return to The Only Way Is Essex on Sunday night, her flat was burgled, leaving her so terrified she’s planning to move.
The reality star said two men trashed her apartment in Brentwood and took two diamond rings.

Unfortunately Gemma wasn’t back in time to chuck a load of vajazzles at them and scream at the top of that big voice of hers otherwise, well, there would have been a much happier ending.
She told the Brentwood Gazette: “As I pulled onto the drive where I live I saw in my flat window that the light was on and the blind was down, which wasn’t how I left it.
“As I walked towards the entrance I crossed the thieves. They pelted down the stairs and walked straight past me.
“I could tell by the way they were dressed that they were up to no good. They didn’t look like the sort of people that live at The Galleries. They were wearing jogging bottoms and they looked out of place.
When Gem got up to her home she found the front foor was open and she dashed down to the concierge (very posh!) to call the police.
The intruders had stolen two precious diamond rings which Gemma is obviously not happy about.
She added: “I’m very shaken. I am going to have to move now. I will definitely have to find a new home.
“It’s not about my possessions, it’s just knowing that someone was watching me and looking out for me and then have quickly got out. It’s freaky and a bit spooky.”
However, things are looking up for Gemma, slightly – the two men were spotted on CCTV.
Yesterday she tweeted: “So happy the two guys that robbed my home yesterday you have been caught on camera face on everything trashing my home and stealing #sick.”

"People are going to see the real bare, stripped-back me. I might just become Bear Grylls, you never know."We never did get to see Gemma chowing down on a raw snake, drinking her own urine or sleeping inside a rancid camel (yep, Bear Grylls has seriously done all of those things).

"Yeah alright, I've cracked at the first hurdle. It's like the turtle and the slug or the horse and the rabbit or something, I can't remember what it is."Who could forget the age-old story of the turtle and the slug?

"If they don’t give us a treat I’m going to kill myself.”Well, the suicide threats didn’t work, but outside of the jungle is a plentiful world of treats just waiting for Gem.

"I feel like I’ve got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we’ve got to get out of here today.”Symptoms of malaria do not include yellow poo, constant whinging or an Essex accent, sorry Gem.

"Seriously, I'd give anything for a bit of dried fruit. Dried fruit! I'm not even asking for a ham sandwich. You know what I mean? With a packet of Quavers on the side."We’re not sure dried fruit is the best remedy for fluorescent yellow diarrhea Gem, maybe just stick to dry bread and water until the ‘malaria’ clears up.

"People that murder get treated better than this, and that's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."Murderers also don’t get paid at least £25,000 to go on a jolly holiday to Australia either. They also tend not to have strops and quit their sentences, but who cares about the details….

"If I'm not in that camp in three minutes, I'm quitting."That’s what the helicopter was for, Gem.
