Gemma Collins has eyed up a massive career move, as she shared her plans to become a real-life Del Boy.
The former TOWIE star, 43, has revealed she is keen to take a step back from the limelight to follow a new passion of hers. In an exclusive interview with Daily Star the blonde bombshell opened up about her dream to run a market stall.
She told us: “I’d love to run market stalls. I’d happily do that tomorrow. I’d sell plants and plus-size dresses. It’s what the people want. I know I’d kill it.”

The surprising business venture would mean Gemma would miss out on the big-money deals she gets for TV work – but that doesn’t bother her. She continued: “I’ve had conversations about having a market stall, but my agent won’t let me do it because it wouldn’t make as much money.

“But if I’m passionate about something then I like to do it. It’s never about the money for me. I like being with people. What’s meant to be will be.”
When she was growing up, Gemma previously worked in clothes shops before she became a successful sales executive at a BMW car showroom. But the star decided to quit the role to join the cast of The Only Way Is Essex.
Since then, the TV favourite has become a millionaire thanks to the various reality shows she has been on, including I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice. It comes after the influencer opened up about her incontinence struggles.

Gemma recently shared her fears that her bladder will leak on her wedding day. The blushing bride is engaged to Rami Hawshaw for the third time after the businessman popped the question during their idyllic Maldives getaway back in February.
Although the TV star is excited to finally walk down the aisle, she recently opened up about her struggles with incontinence and how that has impacted her plans for the big day. Speaking to New! magazine, Gemma has raised awareness on the common issue.
She said: “We need to normalise things like bladder leaks, I’m really struggling with it at the moment and I know others are too. If I get married, I’ll get married in the woods.

“I want it to be earthy. And I’ll be putting on a liner in my knickers on my wedding day because there’s going to be lots of laughing and tears and I certainly don’t want to be leaking then.”
Gemma explained that the condition also affects her mother Joan, 80. The health issue has caused her elderly mother to become so “depressed” that she refuses to leave the house over fears that her bladder will leak.
She added: “We can’t go and have a family trip because everything is being run around my mum’s bladder leaks – it’s really stressful and upsetting.”
