Gemma Collins insists she’ll ‘never be thin’ as she reveals how weight loss injections have transformed her relationship with food

by

Gemma Collins has stated she doesn’t believe she’ll ever be slim, sharing how weight loss injections have impacted her life.

Oh my gosh, I was *so* shocked when I found out the TV personality, who’s 44, started using Mounjaro injections back in January! It totally blew my mind. And the results? Incredible! She lost, like, two stone – a whole two stone! – and I was just stunned. I’ve been following her journey ever since, and it’s amazing to see how she’s doing. Seriously, it’s been a total transformation!

Currently, the reality TV personality states she consumes just one meal daily, but emphasizes she has no intention of losing her well-known figure.

Speaking to The Sun, Gemma said: ‘Nothing against skinny people, but I don’t ever want to be thin.

She continued: ‘Darling, I became most famous being who I am.

‘If I got stick thin overnight, it would kill my brand, my endorsements, and it wouldn’t be me.’

The former TOWIE star also shared that she’s now comfortable with her natural figure, adores her hips and curves, and doesn’t intend to alter her body to please others.

At the launch event for Paddy Power and The Hippodrome Casino’s Paddy’s Sportsbook on Wednesday, Gemma also discussed the challenges of maintaining a slim figure while in the public spotlight. She shared her thoughts on the pressures of being perceived as thin by the public.

Gemma has dealt with weight issues ever since she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome when she was 28 years old. At her heaviest, she weighed over 23 stone and wore a size 26.

She started getting NHS-approved weight loss injections in November 2024. Although she doesn’t share her current weight publicly, sources say the celebrity has lost over three stone.

During the launch event, Gemma shared that the injections have dramatically changed how she views food, explaining that she now prioritizes her overall well-being over simply focusing on how she looks.

She shared that the injections have helped her stop constantly thinking about food, explaining that she used to “fantasise” about it all day, but now it doesn’t control her thoughts anymore.

Gemma also shared that she currently eats just one meal each day and doesn’t snack, but she will eat something if she’s feeling hungry.

The celebrity admitted that weight loss injections aren’t suitable for all, but explained they’ve significantly helped her own journey.

Just a few months ago, Gemma shared that she’d successfully lost enough weight to go from a size 26 to a size 20, thanks to starting weight-loss injections.

Although Gemma has been happily showing off her weight loss progress, she was recently very upset to learn about an unexpected and unwelcome consequence of the injections she received.

Gemma expressed worry that losing weight has made her appear older, as she revealed in a frank Instagram post earlier this year. She specifically noted her noticeably deeper crow’s feet.

She explained, ‘I’m honestly not sure what’s going on with me, I truly don’t. It just appeared suddenly overnight. However, it’s been a full year since my last little tweakments.’

I’m not sure if it’s related to my weight loss, but I definitely haven’t developed what people are calling “Ozempic face” yet – though that would be amazing right now.

As you’re aware, I’ve always had a rounder face. I also appreciate having some lines around my eyes – they show expression. I still want to look like myself, naturally. However, this current situation just doesn’t feel right. I’m 44, and this is much more dramatic than I ever thought possible.

The term ‘Ozempic face‘ refers to visible changes in the face, like loose skin and a sunken look, that sometimes happen with quick weight loss. This is often linked to medications such as Ozempic.

At the same time, a source shared with The Mirror that, despite appearing to joke about what was happening, Gemma was actually very worried.

She’s been focusing on a healthy diet and has successfully overcome some unhealthy eating patterns. She was quite surprised to notice how much her weight loss had changed her appearance, particularly her face.

She wants to maintain a youthful appearance, so she’s carefully addressing it and being upfront about the process. Gemma’s always been very open and honest about how she feels about her body, and while she’s faced some difficult challenges in the past, she’s moved beyond them now. It’s a testament to her strength and self-awareness. She’s embracing a healthier relationship with herself.

Her wrinkle treatments are simply about wanting to feel and look her best. She believes there’s no benefit in losing weight if it doesn’t make her happy, so she’s perfectly content with making small adjustments to maintain her well-being.
