Gemma Collins had a rather awkward encounter with movie megastar, Leonardo DiCaprio that left her feeling rather red-faced.
The reality star is a household name in the UK after rising to fame on The Only Way Is Essex and appearing on shows such as Celebrity Big Brother.
And although a big name over this side of the pond, she claims she was kicked out of a private members’ club in Los Angeles for speaking to Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
The star, 41, went to introduce herself to Leo while on a night out in California but was immediately ushered away.

Gemma, who is currently on her Big Night Out tour, said things didn’t go to plan, with her telling The Sun: “Leonardo DiCaprio — I said hello to him and got thrown out of the club in LA.”
“I mean, he looked at me and I looked at him back and all I said was hello. Next thing I know, I’ve been thrown out.
“I thought, ‘You do realise I am famous as well. Thank you very much!'”

The Diva Forever revealed she was mortified and added: “I could never go back there again.”
Gemma’s comments came after the opening night of her Big Night Out tour.
During her one-woman show, where she dolled up to the nines, Gemma spoke about her upcoming role in the UK and Ireland tour of Chicago.
Here, she slammed critics who claimed she only got the part due to her being a celebrity.

According to The Sun, Gemma told fans that she worked really hard on auditioning for the role and won the casting of Matron ‘Mama’ Morton.
She said: “I didn’t just get it because of the GC. I auditioned for the role. I trained really hard and auditioned and got it on the second one.
“So please if you can come, it would mean the world to me.”
This comes a few days after Gemma wowed her followers with a stunning snap.
