Reality star Gemma Collins has returned to filming after opening up about a traumatic miscarriage she suffered where her four-month-old baby “died in front” of her.
The 39-year-old TOWIE cast member took to official Instagram account during the early hours of this morning to inform her 1.8 million followers that she is returning to working in front of the camera today.
The GC excitedly penned: “I am so excited to be going back to work today it feels like Christmas!!! Filming,” alongside a series of camera emojis.

Gemma said she gave birth on her landing at home before heading straight to the National Television Awards.
Speaking on her podcast, Gemma revealed: “I’ve had some shocking things happen to me, I’m not sure I’ve spoken about this before.
“But I actually gave birth to a child, sadly, and basically the child was four months old, basically I had a miscarriage but obviously the baby was formed and it died in front of me.
“I had to go to the hospital and my mum was there. I can remember my mum being really upset, I was in shock, I was upset.

“That was really a shocking moment for me. But this is what I’m saying, I can talk about it now.
“Things sometimes are not meant to be.”
She continued: “I’ll never forget it. It was a very traumatising experience because I didn’t know I was pregnant and literally I remember waking up with severe pains.
“My mum said to me, ‘Gemma you need to go to the toilet’, and I was like, ‘Honey, this is not…’ I mean obviously I couldn’t describe.

“Look I try and find the bit of entertainment in this bad situation because I think that’s probably a coping mechanism of mine, I try to laugh or see a brighter side in things even though it was really traumatic.
“But I can remember just being in utter shock. I’ve been through a lot so I feel in life, nothing shocks me.
“So anything you could tell me now wouldn’t shock me because I’ve been through a lot and dealt with a lot but I’m grateful for those experiences because I can sit here today and relay them to other people.”
Gemma fell pregnant when she was in a five- year relationship with a Banker, and was unaware that she was expecting his baby as she was taking the contraceptive pill at the time.
It is not the first time Gemma, also known as The GC, has spoken about her miscarriage.
The bubbly personality, who is currently dating her former TOWIE co-star James ‘Arg’ Argent previously spoke about it in her 2013 autobiography Basically, admitting that she was thought it was “God’s way” of punishing her for a previous abortion.
