Gemma Collins has revealed she hopes to get pregnant next year, having lost three stone in weight to combat any fertility obstacles.
The 39-year-old plans to have a baby after she turns 40, having consulted a doctor to improve her chances of falling pregnant.
Gemma is dating fellow reality star James Argent, with the two striking up their romance after meeting while filming TOWIE several years ago.
Speaking to The Sun, the Diva Forever starlet admitted: “I would love to have a child.
“It would be great for me and such a positive message for all the girls out there who don’t want to rush their life or their life has taken different a direction, like me who’s put their career first.

“But in my forties I’d love everybody to see The GC walking around with a pram.”
Revamping her lifestyle in recent months, Gemma has shed several stone in weight by cooking nutritional meals from home and getting regular exercise.
Reflecting on the advice she received from her doctor, she told the publication: “I’ve got a fabulous doctor. I can definitely have a child, he just told me it would be easier when I’m not carrying as much weight.

“He gave me the confidence not to panic about it. He told me to lose a few stone and it will help me.
“I am in a much better headspace. It is easy to yo-yo when your life is all over the place.
“Things are a lot calmer now — I’m cooking my own meals at home, riding my bike in the countryside and enjoying long walks. I am established. My career has gone above and beyond.”

As uplifting as ever, the podcast star, who refers to herself as The GC, plans to embrace turning 40 and the career prospects the age could bring.
She added: “I’m going to be up there with them all — Mariah Carey, Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Jennifer Aniston.
“Kylie’s not married yet or got children. Jennifer hasn’t got kids either.
“Don’t write us off yet. We’re just beginning.”
