Gemma Collins is determined to slim down to her goal weight following her bitter split from on-off boyfriend James Argent.
The former TOWIE star has been leaving fans gobsmacked as she continues to flaunt her three-stone weight loss throughout the coronavirus lockdown.
Despite shedding a significant amount of weight already, the 39-year-old will not stop until she reaches her size 16 goal.
By doing so, Gemma is determined to show her ex-boyfriend what he’s missing after he recently called her a ‘hippo’.
Previously, when the reality TV queen was left heartbroken by her former TOWIE co-star she would turn to food for comfort.
However, this time around, she is choosing to help herself in the long run by making healthier choices to make her former flame green with envy.
Speaking to Closer, an insider revealed: “In the past, every time Gemma was left heartbroken by Arg, she masked her pain with food and went into self-destruction mode, which she is determined not to do this time around.
“She is insisting that she will not let him ruin her physically as well as mentally, and if anything, their split has made her more determined than ever to reach her size 16 goal and prove to herself and to him that she is better and stronger without him.”
The insider continued to explain that although the GC is feeling quite low emotionally, she has never felt better in her own body.
“Body-wise, she is feeling more confident than ever. She wants Arg to kick himself and feel sorry about what he has done when he sees her” the source revealed.
It comes after the former Celebs Go Dating star decided to get her breasts reduced in size to fit with her new slimmer figure after dropping three stone.
Gemma told The Sun : “I can’t wait to get rid of these boobs, they’re massive and look ridiculous. I have never looked better than I do now and I’ve never felt so good.
“I know there are so many people out there who love big boobs and pay for surgeons to give them big boobs but I want them smaller.
“My boobs are all natural. I never have wanted surgery. But as my body is getting smaller, I feel like I am falling over on top and I just want them gone.”
Long-term sweethearts Gemma and Arg broke up earlier this month.
The split is said to have come after Arg reportedly asked his girlfriend to open up their relationship after he was inspired by claims that Will Smith and his wife Jada had an open marriage.
The GC was then let heartbroken after James called her a slew of cruel names including a “hippo” and “fat f**k” in a series of hurtful texts.
The exchange appears to start by Gemma challenging James over paying for another woman.
James then called her “Insensitive,” before Gemma hit back: “And the woman that saved your life has to pay for herself!!!”
“You are supposed to be treating me you hippo,” James responded.
Reality TV diva Gemma admitted that she was “absolutely heartbroken” by the messages.
