Gemma Collins drops huge hint she’s returning to Towie in shock u-turn – after claiming she’s ‘banned’ from ITVBe show
GEMMA Collins has dropped a huge hint that she’s going to return to Towie in a shock u-turn – after claiming she’s ‘banned’ from the ITVBe show.
The 43-year-old shot to fame on the second series of the programme back in 2011.
Gemma was a regular on Towie until 2014, and made a one-off appearance in 2019.
She’s gone on to do various other shows including Celebrity Big Brother, Celebs Go Dating and Dancing On Ice.
Now, five years since her last stint on the ITVBe show, Gemma has dropped an inkling that she’ll be back on it soon.
Gemma told Closer magazine: “I absolutely love the show.
“Never say never.
“I wouldn’t be living the life I live if it wasn’t for Towie.”
The self-confessed diva has been away from our screens in recent months, but is ready and raring to go.
She added: “I had a bit of a rest from it all, because I was living a reality life, not a real life.
“I had to have a bit of a break to let my own life flow.
“In reality TV, there’s got to be something new every day.
“I’ve had that time now and I’m ready to come back.
It comes just days after Gemma revealed why she’s BANNED from returning to Towie.
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.”
The TV legend is keen to reunite with all the OGs from when she was on the show.
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.”
Over the years Gemma was involved in a number of storylines over the years.
One of the biggest was her on/off relationship with co-star James Argent.
The pair were together on/off between 2012 and 2020.
But now the star is engaged to Rami Hawash.
The couple originally started dating in 2011 and got engaged two years later, but then later split.
Gemma and Rami got close again during the coronavirus lock down and he got down on one knee in February this year.
