Gemma Collins is hopeful that she may receive an OBE from the Queen for entertaining the country for almost a decade.
The 39-year-old TOWIE star, who also has a podcast and her own clothing line, believes she should be in line for the coveted honour for her contribution to entertainment.
Her latest admission came shortly after the blonde bombshell failed to get the Nobel Peace Prize award.
Speaking on The Gemma Collins podcast, the reality starlet opened up about her recent nomination and her thoughts on world peace.
She also explained how she was “surprised” to be nominated by two pranksters for the Nobel Peace Prize, though she missed out on the award.
“These two guys from YouTube nominated me, yes me, for the Nobel Peace Prize,” she explained to listeners.

“I was just so surprised and overwhelmed, but I just couldn’t see someone would want to nominate me to be honest.
Gemma added: “But, I am all about world peace. I’ve always said it, love conquers all. Peace is everything. You know in yourself, if you’re not at peace with yourself that you can get a bit down.
“I do really believe that when you truly make peace with yourself or with situations that have hurt you in the past… you do feel better.
Although she failed to get the prize for Nobel Peace, Gemma was hopeful that there might be other chances – including a shot at getting an OBE.
“So I’m all about world peace but, I didn’t win, but that’s not always the point and I’m sure there might be other chances.
“I would like to get, one day, an OBE from the Queen. I have entertained the nation for years now, its coming up to ten years.
“It did get me thinking a lot, though, about peace in general and I do like to live quite peacefully,” she added.
An Order of the British Empire, known as an OBE, is an award given to citizens that have contributed to the arts and sciences, as well as charities.
Among other celebrities that have received the coveted award was actor Jim Carter, Keira Knightley, Eddie Redmayne as well as David and Victoria Beckham.
If Gemma was to get invited to receive an OBE, she would become the first TOWIE star to receive the accolade.
