What I read last week: Basically by Gemma Collins




I am a massive fan of The only way is Essex, and Gemma Collins is by far my favourite character.  I think the show would be pretty boring without her.  So after receiving Gemma’s autobiography as a Christmas present a couple of years ago (too many books, too little time!) I finally set about reading it last week. 

I have to say that to me the book made for a very interesting read, as Gemma takes us through her years growing up in Essex and attending drama school classes whenever she could in her bid to achieve stardom.  As I am the same age as Gemma I enjoyed all of the little mentions of things from the 80’s and 90’s in the book like Take That, Rimmel make up, Naf Naf jackets, and Patrick Cox Shoes!

It is fair to say that Gemma has been through her fair share of heartache with relationships, including the devastating loss of a baby, but like most of us she has managed to come out the other side of it all stronger and wiser.

Gemma should be proud of everything that she has achieved since joining TOWIE with her shop and clothing line, and I know that one day she will find that Tony Soprano style guy that she is looking for!

If you are a TOWIE fan then definitely check this book out!
