I'm A Celeb: South Africa fans are in hysterics at Gemma Collins
She's bringing entertainment to the camp
She may have only lasted 72 hours in the jungle back in 2014, but reality star Gemma Collins is back for a second stint on I'm A Celeb, as she's joined the cast of I'm A Celeb: South Africa series two.
Arriving slightly late alongside Craig Charles, Gemma declared to her fellow camp mates she was back to give it her all this time round, leaving 'The GC' persona behind her.
However, after losing the rancid eating trial to a landslide score of 42-10, Gemma found herself in basic camp Savannah Scrub alongside Adam Thomas, Beverley Callard and Seann Walsh, and it's safe to say the amenities weren't quite up to her standards...
With quotes like: "What have I done to deserve this", "I think I'm losing my eyesight", and "You can eat me if you are hungry", alongside her telling Seann he could 'top and tail' with her if he couldn't sleep, Gemma has most certainly brought the entertainment factor.
Upon surviving the night, Gemma was incredibly proud of herself, telling her fellow camp mates she feels like she's built character.
After seeing her early scenes, fans of the show were quick to comment, with many expressing their love for the former TOWIE star.
One wrote: 'Awhh I love Gemma. Shes literally made this show already ❤️', with another adding: 'Honestly Gemma is absolutely hilarious 😂 😂 I just can't stop laughing. TV Gold 👏👏👏'. (sic)
A third wrote: 'Gemma is just so effortlessly iconic', with another commenting: '“Thats not right!” HAHHAHAHAHAHA OH Gem!!!'. Another wrote: 'Gemma you are priceless. On point with your assertiveness. Love it 😂😂😂'.
Somebody else added: 'Really seeing an entirely different side to Gemma!! Less celebrity and more of herself 🔥😍'. (sic)
Later on in the episode, Gem was having a chat with Adam and Bev about David Haye's apparent throuple, after he 'refused her water' during the eating trial.
Speaking about David, Gem asked Adam: “He wants to win, he’s in it to win it… do you think all that throuple stuff is true?”
Not knowing what she was talking about, Adam replied: “What, him and two girls? You’re lying!” Gemma replied: “Honey, it’s everywhere in the press! He’s in a permanent throuple, the geezer.”
With Adam and Bev both in hysterics, Gemma added: "Yes! Do you think he denies them water?”
