“I had my cholesterol and all my bloods taken the other day and it was all totally normal.
“I’m big but I don’t have problems. I don’t need statins. We need more celebrations for the curvier girls.”

Gemma worries that youngsters struggle to be as confident as she is because of social media. In fact, she reckons some apps are becoming a serious problem.
She said: “We are in dangerous waters when it comes to Instagram. Everyone has become like an anime version of themselves on there. That’s really scary.
“Everyone has got to remember that you have to find peace with yourself.”
