Gemma Collins has dramatically turned her back on social media, telling fans they won't hear from her until September, when she returns to promote her new TV show on Sky. The reality star, who rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, announced that any posts in the coming months will be managed by her team while she enjoys a summer break.
Break Until September
Taking to Instagram, Collins shared a photo of herself on holiday wearing a plunging golden dress that showcased her slimmed-down physique. In the caption, she wrote: "Dai Dai is a tune. I will see you all again in September. Anything posted in this time will be my team." She also praised Shaklira and Burna Boy for their official World Cup 2026 track, Dai Dai.
Collins added: "The summer holiday season is here, and I just wanted to wish everyone the most beautiful summer. Whether you're travelling the world, enjoying a staycation, spending time with family and friends, or simply slowing down, I hope these sunny weeks are filled with love, laughter, warmth, and memories you'll treasure."
Life Moves Quickly
She continued: "Life moves quickly, so remember to put the phone down now and then, soak up the sunsets, share long lunches, and enjoy those spontaneous moments. Take time to tell the people you love how much they mean to you, and most importantly, be kind to yourself—rest when you need to and give yourself the same care and compassion you offer to others."
Collins concluded: "Have a wonderful summer break, stay safe, and make every moment count. I'll be back in September with my brand new show on @skytv which I have been making for over a year now and I can't wait to share what's been keeping me busy with you all! Sending you all so much love. Enjoy your summer holidays! PS… It's coming home."
Support from Fans and Friends
The post was flooded with supportive messages. One user commented: "Looking fab darling!" Another added: "Looking fabulous! Have a lovely summer." A third wrote: "Looking absolutely lush, Gem," while a fourth called her a "Golden goddess." Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson responded with a string of fire emojis.
Friendship Update with Bobby Norris
Collins' social media exit comes after her former friend Bobby Norris discussed their relationship. The pair were once close but fell out over one of Bobby's previous relationships, though the full details were never shared. When asked about rekindling their friendship, Norris told OK! Magazine: "Never say never. Like I was saying about the whole going back to TOWIE thing, mentality-wise, we're older now. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you've just got to know when to draw a line under things, but we'd have to talk."
