'It's a shame': Fans slam Gemma Collins as former 'TOWIE' star shares 'photoshopped' vacation pictures
SICILY, ITALY: British media personality Gemma Collins, 42, posted a photo of herself lounging in the sun from her Italian getaway in Sicily. Everything was smooth up until a fan asked the authenticity of the picture as they claimed the snap was “photoshopped,” leaving many fans to wonder, “Is that actually Gemma?”
Former ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star shared a sun-kissed photo of a black monokini-clad backside of her while she was lounging on a pleasure boat during her Sicilian vacation. Her long, curly blonde mane was left open over the shoulders which concealed her entire face.

She shared the picture on her social media with the caption, “Sicily 🇮🇹 you have been MAGICAL ❤️ until next time …. Flying back to film with @joancollinsdbe @joelycett 🇮🇹❤.” However, a majority of her 2.2 million Instagram followers were not impressed as they questioned the authenticity of the picture citing her legs were looking “so long.”
‘Why do her legs look so long 😅’
One fan asked with incredulity, “Is that actually Gemma?” While another asked, “Why do her legs look so long 😅?” to which another apparently answered, “Photo shopped.” “What's up with her legs😂,” quipped another. Another mused, “Its a shame she had to tailor the pic, makes other women who are bigger feel they have to as well #settingabadexample.” “Don’t look like her,” commented another hawk-eyed fan. However, another fan was not so condescending as they said, “I love her..... She just needs to be true to herself! X.”
‘LA DOLCE VITA’
The former ‘I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!’ alum shared another picture from the same ‘Blue Diamond’ cruise boat only a day before the posting of the infamous picture. However, this photo shows her face while she was seen donning an exquisitely printed long silk dress and completing the look with statement oversized sunglasses.
The ‘Gemma Collins: Diva’ veteran shared the picture with the caption, “LA DOLCE VITA 🍋If your waking up this morning wishing for more out of life 🍋 YOU CAN HAVE IT 🍋 the MAGIC 💫 is within YOU 💫 create the life you really want chanel your third eye 👁️ always 💫.” A fan, however, commented on this picture, “Love your attitude but please don’t photoshop your pictures 😢.”
‘An honor to be slapped by Joan Collins’
However, Gemma is back from her idyllic trip and immediately rejoined work. While appearing on Channel 4's ‘Late Night Lycett’ on Friday night, Gemma reenacted an iconic ‘Dynasty’ scene with none other than the legendary Dame Joan Collins (who also happens to be her mother’s namesake). Dame Joan, who played the role of Alexis Colby from 1981 to 1989 in the show, reenacted the skit enthusiastically where she appeared to have slapped Gemma.
Sharing a short clip from the show, Gemma wrote, “What an honor to be slapped by @joancollinsdbe I will always be greatful for this moment by such a glamorous dame ! X Always wanted to be Dynasty when I was young and I got to meet Joan herself it’s a total moment in my life which is unreal to then be next to her” She ended her post with a slew of tags to all the concerned celebrities, “@joelycett what a night !!! @munroebergdorf @joeldommett @channel4.”
