Gemma Collins ditches hair extensions and debuts bob hairdo

Gemma Collins ditches her hair extensions to debut chic bob hairdo – after being inspired by Holly Willoughby

She’s famed for her luscious long locks and bouncy blow drys. 

But Gemma Collins, 40, sported a very different look in an Instagram video on Thursday, after removing her hair extensions to debut a short bob style.

The Diva Forever star decided to go for the chop after seeing Holly Willoughby with shorter hair, saying the This Morning star looked ‘unreal’.

Gemma explained on her Instagram Stories: ‘Guys Holly Willoughby made me do this.

‘She didn’t force me but I saw how unreal she looked on her Instagram today and I rung my hairdresser like, get here son. I need the look.’

She could then be seen in the chair at her home as Joel got to work on her hair before the pair posed together to show off the finished look.

She said: ‘Guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the award. It means the absolute world to me.

‘I’m having a cheeky night indoors with Ram [boyfriend Rami Hawash] and we’re celebrating together and I just want to say this has been an amazing journey for me.

‘When I did Piers Morgan’s Life Stories I didn’t think it could get any better than that but live has got, my wildest dreams are coming true, life just kind of seems to keep going in the right direction for me at the minute and I just want to thank you all.

‘You’ve all supported me, you’ve all stood by me. Without you guys voting for me I wouldn’t have won it. I’m quite emotional because it’s so sweet.’

Offering an insight into her own sex life, Gemma told The Mirror: ‘Me and Ram, at the end of the day, that fire, that passion – it’s always been there. 

‘I’m ready to go all the time… I’ve got plenty of energy. I’m good to go whenever the mood takes.’ 

Explaining that her sex life has got better with age, she concluded: ‘I think in your forties it’s like ‘Yeah baby – let’s do this!’ Anything goes.’ 

Back on: Gemma is now loved-up with Rami, who she rekindled her romance with in April. The couple first began dating in 2013 and were briefly engaged (pictured this month) 

Gemma’s raunchy comments were no doubt a blow for her ex James Argent, who she dated on and off for eight years before splitting for good in November last year.

A source told MailOnline of their rekindled love: ‘Gemma has been seeing Rami again in secret for the last six months. 

‘The pair have enjoyed spending time together and getting reacquainted during date nights in London and Essex.

‘Gemma suffered a lot of stress and trauma during her relationship with Arg, which has been on and off for years – but she’s finally putting herself first and moving forward with her life.’

She has since sparked rumours she’s engaged again after being spotted with a diamond on her finger and has revealed the pair are planning for a baby.
