Will Gemma Collins’ SEX TAPE emerge while the TOWIE star is in the jungle?

Happy Friday! Did you feel curiously upbeat when you got out of bed this morning? Like, weirdly joyous, despite the disgusting weather and that bloke who shook his umbrella all over your hair on the bus? Almost like you had a glowing nugget of glee deep down inside you that no-one could extinguish?

Yeah, well unfortunately you’re never going to be happy again after reading this, because somewhere out there is a video of TOWIE’s Gemma Collins ‘pleasuring’ herself, and it could hit the internet at any moment.

According to the Daily Star, Gemma is “beside herself with worry” that the tape will get out while she’s stuck in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.

A source told the newspaper: “The last thing she wants is a private recording of her bedroom antics being put on the net for everyone to see.”

The insider added that Gemma, 33, has told fellow TOWIE cast-mates about the tape, which she filmed for an ex-boyfriend, but that is has now fallen into the wrong hands.

If it’s true, Gemma will join the esteemed ranks of fellow reality stars with sex tapes, including Lauren Goodger, who was left embarrassed earlier this summer when a six-second clip of her performing a sex act on her ex Jake McLean came to light, and, er, Kim Kardashian.

In this week’s heat magazine, Gemma gave a searingly honest interview about the abuse she receives for being overweight, telling us that she even gets death threats from people in the street.
