Gemma Collins once again showcased her impressive weight loss as she posted a swimsuit photo on Instagram on Sunday. The 45-year-old reality TV star posed confidently in a tiger-print keyhole swimsuit that highlighted her slimmer figure.
Boastful Caption
In the accompanying caption, Collins, who is engaged to long-time partner Rami Hawash, boasted about 'never having a bad-looking boyfriend'. She wrote: 'Woke up this morning and patted myself on the back... I've never had a bad looking boyfriend !!! X Always pulled a sort and that really hit today #beyourownsunshine guys the swim suit was from @evansclothing'.
Ozempic Journey
Her latest racy snap comes after Collins opened up about her experience with the weight-loss drug Ozempic. She described it as 'great, liberating, freeing' but was forced to stop after suffering a gallbladder attack. Despite the side effects, she has managed to lose 3.4 stone.
Explaining how the drug curbed her appetite, she said: 'When I was first doing it, me and Rami went for a Turkish, and in my whole life, if a bread basket went down, oh mate, there's nothing like a bread basket... Do you know how weird it was for me to sit there. Have the bread in front of me and not want it. Can you imagine how bizarre that was for him, because normally I would want it. It was great, it was liberating. I had freedom... I didn't want that bread, but that was in the very beginning.'
However, she continued: 'So when I moved up through the doses, I ended up going up to 15 on it, 15mg, and then that is when a few weeks later I got the pain.'
Collins, who previously dated TOWIE co-star James Argent, reflected on her weight loss journey: 'But I'm big anyway, I mean, I could lose three stone and probably wouldn't be that different. I've done everything. Everything. I've done every diet from the cake boss to the Beyonce to the cabbage soup to the egg diet. But it depends on your body. Like, what works for you and you don't work for me.'
Jungle Weight Loss
Collins recently revealed her weight loss after surviving on a diet of rice and beans during I'm A Celebrity All Stars, which was pre-filmed in South Africa. She said she was surprised by the amount of weight she dropped: 'When they weighed me I'd lost 1st 4lb (8kg).' She described the experience as the 'best digital detox and spiritual healing' and has been using her phone less.
TV viewers noted that Collins' redemption is well underway after she tackled a gruelling eating trial on Tuesday night.
