Gemma Collins reveals she is QUITTING Essex in shock move – saying ‘I’ve outgrown it’
GEMMA Collins has revealed she is moving away from Essex.
The 42-year-old believes she has “outgrown” the county and is hoping to relocate to Surrey, or even Wales.
Gemma has been inspired after learning about her Welsh roots in a new TV show and has fallen out of love with Essex.
She told The Mirror: “I’ve totally outgrown Essex. It’s toxic.
“I really like it in Surrey, Sam Faiers lives there. I do love Wales and I would consider living there.”
Discussing her current situation, Gemma said: “I don’t see many people. I’m very particular about who I have around me.”
Gemma rose to fame and made her millions after staring in hit TV show The Only Way Is Essex from 2011-2019.
The star bought her dream Essex home in January 2021 after living with her brother Russell throughout lockdown as she struggled to find a property she loved.
She recently told The Sun she needed to move house before marrying her long time love Rami Hawash.
Gemma said: “I need to buy a new house, I’m already bursting out of my Essex home.
“I need to move house, or find another house before I get married. It is already filled up to the rafters. So I think I will.”
Sam and her partner Paul moved to Surrey in 2020 and recently purchased a huge £2.25m mansion.
