SHE was left heartbroken after splitting with James ‘arg’ Argent for a final time in July – but Gemma Collins is now grinning again.
We can reveal the reality TV queen has found romance with millionaire businessman Nadir Gul.
A source said: “Gemma’s had a really tough time since her split with Arg but Nadir, who owns a pair of restaurants in Essex, has put a massive smile on her face.
“He has asked her out on a date and seems smitten with her. The GC has been telling people Nadir is her dream man and said she finds him drop-dead gorgeous.
“It’s still early days for them but her friends are just pleased to see her happy and smiling again.
“Gemma is an independent woman but she has longed to find the right man and settle down properly.
“She can see a future with Nadir — she feels like she has been dreaming of this for so long.”
They already had friends in common but had never before been romantically linked.
Yet pals say he made a beeline for her when she visited one of his restaurants earlier this month.
The insider added: “Gemma and Nadir knew each other, from afar, from around Essex.
‘Felt like fate’
“He ran a chippy when they were younger. He’s now a successful businessman and well known in the area.
“After Gemma went to eat in one of his restaurants, Nadir made it clear he was keen on her and he asked her out.
“Gemma said it felt like fate that they had met when she was single and ready to meet someone again.
“It feels like a fairytale and Gemma just cannot stop smiling.”

Dip, dip hooray, Lottie
LOTTIE Moss gives her fans a frill in a ruffled black bikini.
The model took a dip in the sea on a break to Mykonos with pals. She has been on the Greek isle for the past week, mingling with stars including Love Island’s Chris Hughes.
But she has kept her distance, publicly at least, from Capital FM DJ Roman Kemp who is also there. Since we revealed how they openly snogged at London’s Soho House, they have been careful not to be pictured together.
Nothing like a bit of sun, sea and secrecy.
R1 Greg’s little lies
EVERYONE tells the odd white lie but Radio 1 breakfast host Greg James does more than most.
The DJ admits he has to fib to artists about liking their music. He confessed he told Little Mix he loved their 2016 single Touch when in reality he was not a fan.
He said: “It’s a tricky balance. If somebody brings out a record you don’t like, you are not going to say, ‘We are not going to play that. Come back again in a bit’.
“I have had to lie to Little Mix before when I have not liked their follow-up to Shout Out To My Ex.
“We have all been there.”
This could be awkward when Leigh-anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards next go on the show. Good luck, James.
I tried to pull Tom Jones once, but he didn’t understand my accent, bless him. I resorted back to Geordie Shore Vicky and said to him, ‘I hear you like a hat’.

Challenge turns to jolly
WE thought ITV’s new adventure series Don’t Rock The Boat was meant to be one of the most gruelling challenges ever televised.
Its celebrity contestants – split into two teams of six – are supposedly battling hell and high water in the coastal race.
Instead, the cast including Lucy Fallon, Tom Watson, Joe Weller, Jack Fincham, Adam Thomas, Kimberly Wyatt and Fleur East seem to be socialising every night. Former Corrie actor Lucy has posted a series of boozy snaps to her Instagram account, showing off their antics.
A show insider said: “The challenge looks to have turned into a massive jolly. They’ve all bonded well and are having fun. Some crew have hinted there needs to be less boozing and some earlier nights.”
Alex’s wedding blip
ALEX Zane was forced by Covid to postpone his wedding this summer – but the TV host is just delighted he avoided some well dodgy weather.
The movie buff – who last month was due to wed Poldark actor Adrian Turner’s ex, artist Nettie Wakefield – told us: “On the day we were due to wed it absolutely p****d it down with rain. We’ll do it next year instead.”
The star, who has voiced an audio walking tour in London’s Leicester Square called The Scenes In The Square, added: “I could never get married in Leicester Square – I’m so used to covering movie premieres there, it would feel too much like work.”
Dressed to Kill
JODIE Comer reckons the best bit of playing assassin Villanelle in BBC drama Killing Eve is the togs.
She said: “I enjoy a costume room. There’s rails and rails of deliciously expensive clothes, which I keep my eye on for the costume sale.”
In an Actors In Conversation interview, on Bafta’s website, Jodie said she lets the costume crew dress her how they like: “I love giving them the reins to have fun.
“It’s fashion but it’s got to be practical. Villanelle’s not going to scale the wall in six-inch heels – it happens in Hollywood but it’s not going to happen here.” Bravo.
Vogue’s Juicy TV whisper
VOGUE Williams is being tipped as the favourite to replace Holly Willoughby when Celebrity Juice resumes filming next month.
Model Vogue, who has two children with former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, is seen by bosses of ITV2 comedy panel show as perfect for the job.
An insider said: “The pull for Vogue is that she has this aspirational home life with Spencer and the kids but on Celebrity Juice she would show off a side of her you don’t see.
“Like Holly, Vogue is the perfect role model but then on Celebrity Juice you would see her getting up to all sorts of things.”
While Holly quit the show after 12 years in May, in order to spend more time with her family, presenter Keith Lemon is now gearing up to return to work.
In an exclusive chat, funnyman Keith talked about some of the measures that have been brought in to make the set Covid-secure. He said: “The audience has gone down to 50.
“They’ve set it out with tables and chairs, it’s going to look like a jazz bar, so that’s going to be cool.
“Telly seems to have gone to pot, people can’t be closer than two metres apart – advertising revenue has gone down.”
We’re sure Celebrity Juice will be better than ever, Keith.
It’s all Gord fun, Becks
FORGET boats ’n’ hoes, it was all about boats and poses when David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay headed out on the Cornish sea together.
Celebrity chef Gordon and his family hosted the Beckhams at their holiday home in Cornwall – and the dads were all smiles as they took some of their kids out on an inflatable boat.
David’s wife Victoria, and Gordon’s Tana, chose to stay on shore and enjoyed a walk along the beach – and the dads were soon back on dry land, too, to share a glass of wine.
Meanwhile, the ex-girlfriend of David and Victoria’s eldest child, Brooklyn, has revealed she thinks his American actress fiancée, Nicola Peltz, is beautiful and the couple will have beautiful kids.
Talented US singer Madison Beer, who is back with amazing new single Baby, told us: “I haven’t spoken to Brooklyn in two years, but I’m very happy for him.
“They make a beautiful couple. Nicola is the most amazing person. I’ve met her a bunch of times, we run in a similar crowd in LA.
“They’re going to make a beautiful family. I don’t think I’ll be invited to the wedding, though.”
Bisexual Madison, who plans to release more music this autumn, is off men for a while. She added: “I haven’t been as mistreated by women, so I’m less hesitant to date them now.”
Riot in the bookshop
KAISER Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson is the latest pop star to become a children’s book author.
It comes after Alesha Dixon, Ricky Martin, Kelly Clarkson and Madonna all penned stories.

Ricky said: “I’ve written a few kids’ books and one of them has been picked up. One is based on a little boy and amazing things keep happening to him, and he has to keep going into school and telling every-one, and each time it gets more and more amazing. He keeps getting told off.”
Ricky added: “I don’t know when it’s coming out – it’s with two publishers at the moment. It’s exciting, like being signed again.”
We predict a riot – in the bookshop.
