Gemma Collins failed her driving test so many times that she resorted to bribing her instructor with sausage sandwiches in the hope he’d pass her.
The former TOWIE star, 39, was seemingly so sick of having to retake her test that she took drastic measures in order to be deemed road-worthy.
Revealing all on her BBC podcast, she said: “I took my test loads of times and then I think I actually bribed my driving instructor with sausage sandwiches to try and get him to pass me.
“I used to love driving lessons.
“You’ve got to concentrate but it’s so easy to get distracted.”
Gemma, who worked in car sales before becoming a reality star, also failed her theory test a number of times before finally getting her hands on a certificate.
She said: “It is so easy to overthink things.
“I sat the theory test about 15 times, but basically, I know it sounds bad, I weren’t really interested in it.”
The GC regularly makes candid confessions on her podcast, and is a big fan of keeping it real.
She recently took to Instagram to show fans her “real face” after accusations that she was altering her appearance with filters on social media.
Addressing the camera, she said: “Guys, it’s me, the GC. I don’t normally do these videos, but I just wanted to show you that this is me, this is how I look.
“There’s been a few comments recently about filters, but I have been having some amazing face treatments done – moisturising, skin tightening, I had a little injection in my chin to take some fat out of my chin.
“It’s all been done by the London Aesthetics Company.”
She went on: “It’s just I’ve been seeing a lot of people going like, ‘You’ve got a filter on, you’ve got this on’.
“Honey, this ain’t no filter, this is me, my authentic self, I have just been looking after myself a lot recently, and loving myself, and I’m a queen at the end of the day.
“This is how I look so I just wanted to come on here, there’s no filter on here, this is a normal video, and show you this is me.
“Yes, my face has changed a little bit but for the better because I’ve lost weight, I’m feeling good, I’ve got time to look after myself, I’ve been having lots of wonderful treatments done at the London Aesthetics Company and I feel brand new.”
Gemma said she just wanted to “clear that up”, declaring she’s not a fan of filters, and joking that she basically wakes up looking stunning with a full face of make up on every day.
The injections Gemma has been getting in her chin cost around £350.
