Gemma Collins reveals why she’s BANNED from returning to Towie – even though she’d love to make a comeback
GEMMA Collins has revealed why she’s been banned from returning to Towie – despite the fact she’d love to appear on the show.
The 43-year-old shot to fame on Towie in 2011 but quit in 2014. Gemma made a brief return in 2019 but hasn’t been seen on the ITVBe reality show since.
Gemma has insisted she’d love to go back to the show that made her famous – but her agent won’t let her.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she said: “It’s not that I wouldn’t want to because I love the show, I think it’s amazing.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without that show and I’ll be forever grateful. However, my agent has told me if I ever step back on that show it would be a career disaster.
Gemma added: “I have to take my agent’s advice on some things. I don’t know why he thinks that.”
However the star teased a possible special with all of the OG cast members.
She said: “I’m waiting for the big reunion, there’s got to be a reunion at some point down the line and I would definitely go back for that.
“But it’s not me who doesn’t want to do it, it’s my agent who stops me every time.”
Earlier this year Lauren Goodger – who starred in the first series of the show – made comeback.
And Amy Childs, who was also there from the start, returned to Towie in 2020.
It’s hardly surprising Gemma’s agent won’t allow a Towie return to her busy schedule.
As fans know The GC spends a lot of her time jetting off for different projects, and she’s come up with a way to save fellow travellers money.
Gemma has teamed up with SMARTY Mobile to to introduce a way to get around the the standard 23kg allowance for luggage on planes.
They’ve launched the Roam Free Robe – a coat that has 23 pockets to allow travellers to carry whatever they need and avoid potential extra charges.
And Gemma thinks the idea is going to change travel completely for people heading on holiday.
She said: “I’m revolutionary, I’m there before everyone else is. I think it’s fabulous.
“I have been stung at so many airports and totally overcharged on so many occasions.”
