Reality TV star Gemma Collins has collaborated with the UK Government in a bizarre video clip posted on the Department for Education's social media accounts. In the footage, Collins, known for her role in The Only Way Is Essex, is seen walking through the Department for Education with her hands on her hips, demanding to know 'what are we doing to help the children?' before being invited into a meeting with Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson.
Unpaid Visit to Discuss Education Reforms
Collins visited the Department for Education to discuss education reforms with Ms Phillipson. The reality star was not paid for her meeting or for the promotional content created by the DfE. The discussion focused on ensuring that children who leave school with minimal qualifications are not left behind, including topics such as V-levels and occupational pathways.
