Gemma Collins has savage four-word response to weight-shaming trolls
Gemma Collins has given a blunt response to trolls who tell her she needs weight loss surgery - and we're all for it.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror on Thursday, the 42-year-old opened up about her self-care routine - which includes everything from growing vegetables, exercising outside, and of course, ignoring the haters.
Gemma has endured a torrent of online bullying since rising to fame in 2011 on The Only Way Is Essex, much of which has cruelly centred on her weight. Earlier this year, the reality TV star was even forced to call the police after an anonymous person online insulted her appearance and threatened to break her jaw.
Gemma Collins has no room in her life for negativityShe has refused to let the negativity consume her, however, choosing instead to focus on herself and those around her that matter.
"I don’t need to change for anyone," Gemma said. "The only people’s opinions I value are my family’s and my partner’s opinion."

Gemma, who has been engaged to boyfriend Rami Hawash since December 2021, had even stronger words for the people who suggest she needs weight loss surgery to trim down.
"I say to them, 'You can f**k off'. I’ve become a millionaire being me, being a plus-size girl," she said.

Gemma added that, while she is not against others having the life-altering surgery, she herself remains "a bit scared of operations."
