You're never going to see me drinking some protein shake and doing 20 squat thrusts. I will never follow suit.

Agents told me that in the celebrity world, it's love life and weight gain/loss that people are interested in.

At the end of the day, there's always going to be younger, prettier girls but I know what I bring to the table.

I constantly know that showbiz is going to be short-lived, you have to grab every opportunity as well as you can.

I radiate on a different frequency - or you can call it energy - than most. I vibrate at a different energy force.

I've not forgotten where I came from but I've grown and I've evolved and that is the secret to being a reality star.

We did not have a toaster growing up. I never knew what a toaster was, it was only as I got older, we got a toaster.

I'll always be an Essex girl at heart but I've matured and I've evolved and with my work I'm in the West End all the time.

I walk around like I'm a billionaire, I believe in the universe, I never worry about money and that's why money comes to me.

I'm not one of these average reality people that are permanently doing Instagram posts, I break the mould, I break the Internet.

When I first became known in public I was sent off to bootcamps. I was thrown into all this madness of weight loss and weight gain.

I take no notice of trolls because my bank balance is growing and growing and growing and growing - they can troll me all they want.

I do like exercising. It makes you feel good and gets the endorphins going. So I decided to do low impact exercise and exercise I enjoy.

I have endured pain and suffering in my life, things haven't always been easy, I have suffered. And now I can help people in their lives.

I bought myself a bike in isolation and a helmet and I love it. It's built my confidence up because not everyone is confident in exercise.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with a bit of glam, but do you know what? I'm not bothered about getting a reservation in the latest restaurant.

The difference between white witches and dark witches is that a white witch is very spiritual, into nature and can make magic happen. That is me.

My dream show is to have this haunted house and get some celebrities in there and then I can do their Tarot cards and speak to the dead with them.

Dark witches focus on dark magic, black magic and all kinds of horrible things. I don't believe white witches have warts on them either, or pointy noses.

Everyone out there is growing up too quickly, university does give you responsibility but you're still learning and you have time to go out and have fun.

I treat people throughout the year, my mates with children, every time I see them I give them 40 quid, or I go to Amazon and get them a gift- no one goes without.

I'm always surrounded by crazy people, but when I come back to the country I'm into my plants, I love gardening, I love bird watching and I absolutely love nature.

There was something in my brain when it came to exercising - my stomach would churn, my heart would go and beat funny. I'd be like: 'I just don't want to do this.'

I think why I am such a success in regards to my shows, is I don't give you an impression that my world's all rose tinted glasses, candy floss, sequins and glitter.

I didn't go to uni and although I don't have regrets in my life, I have two nephews and I'd encourage them to go to uni as I don't think you need to grow up too quick.

After six years of doing it, the weird thing on 'Towie' is that we can't explain to people that we're famous. We're doing a show where we have to act like normal people.

People have got to stop fat-shaming and writing bad stuff. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be around for a long time. Get over the weight thing and look at yourself.

I got offered to do a book yeah, and they said to me, 'Gem, you're so busy, how about we get someone to walk around with you with a dictaphone,' and that's how we did it.

I've been in gyms before and people have recorded me on their mobile phones and uploaded it on Facebook and said: 'Look at this fat pig,' which has been really traumatic for me to see.

You get the wig on, you put the lipstick on, you get the big eyelashes on and that's the GC. It's like Paul O'Grady when he does Lily Savage... But when I'm not working, I don't wear a scrap of makeup.

I can remember I lost three and a half stone weight loss. It was painful, it was excruciating, it was hell. I had to exercise eight hours a day. It was very tiring, very exhausting. I came away seeing exercise as punishment.

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.

I can't go shopping like I did before I was famous. It has to be planned now. I can't walk around a shopping centre. Even when I have four security guards with me, shoppers run towards me. It's fun, but it's difficult when you're trying to get your bits.

I believe there are lizards living amongst us. Do these humans who appear to be humans and look like us and act like us, go into the tunnels where their human faces, their human bodies - do they retract back into being lizards when they go into the tunnels?

I don't dislike being famous, but there have been moments when you think: 'Is this really worth it?' Sometimes you go through that stage where you're almost like selling your soul. People want all from you, absolutely everything. They want it from you. And everyone's got an opinion about you.
