Rumour has it: Gemma Collins has reportedly landed a new job working for hit Netflix show Orange Is The New Black

A source told The Sun: ‘Gemma can’t wait to get started. She is bursting with excitement and feels really proud to have landed the job.

‘Her “Queen of Memays” tag has really paid off.’

Gemma teased fans as she shared an article about the rumours on her Instagram account on Friday and wrote: ‘Thank you. It really is a big dream come true.’

This comes after she revealed her romance is back on with James ‘Arg’ Argent, despite admitting she plans to move to New York.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, Gemma is seen kissing and cuddling her on/off boyfriend, 30, during their holiday in Marbella.

When contacted by MailOnline a representative for Gemma said: ‘They are good friends, but nothing more, Arg is relocating to Spain and Gemma agreed to help him find a home as she knows the area well.’

The cosy display came after the TOWIE couple paid a visit to Arg’s best mate Elliott Wright and his new wife Sadie Stuart. The pair were also spotted house hunting in the Spanish city last month. 

Confirming their romance with a kiss comes at an interesting time, as Gemma just revealed her plans to relocate to New York City.

She seems to be following in the footsteps of former co-star Mark Wright after he landed a job on US show Extra in sunny Los Angeles.

Gemma and Arg have enjoyed an on/off relationship since they first started dating in 2012.  

Yet Arg delighted TOWIE viewers by finally confessing his feelings for Gemma in the show’s Christmas special.

Getting up on stage in front of all his Essex pals, Arg, dressed as Santa, grabbed the microphone and said: ‘I’m looking round the room there’s one person who deserves a special shout out. And her name’s GC.

‘Gemma you’re so lovely to me, you’re always there for me whenever I need you and you make me laugh. You know what Gem, you think ‘Arg he cares too much what people think.’

‘I want to let you know no I don’t give a f*** what anyone thinks. I f****ng love your candy.’

Meanwhile, Gemma’s move Stateside follows Mark moving to Los Angeles after landing a dream gig presenting alongside Mario Lopez on US entertainment show Extra.

The TOWIE hunk has been mingling with the great and good of Hollywood talent including Channing Tatum, Mariah Carey and Kim Kardashian. 

Determined to make a good impression, former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark took elocution lessons to ‘neutralise’ his thick Essex accent to win over the US audience. 

The reality star moved to Los Angeles without his wife Michelle Keegan as she had been filming for BBC hit drama Our Girl across the globe.

Although Michelle seemed happy in the arms of her husband over new year while out in Los Angeles, she ruled out a permanent move to the States.

Speaking in a recent interview, Michelle said: ‘I love LA. I’ve only been a couple of times, but I find it a really positive and happy place. The weather is always nice and it makes you want to get up in the morning and seize the day…

‘If a job came up in America, I’d jump at the chance but I don’t think I’d move over there because I’m such a home bird…. if a job came up where I had to live there for a certain amount of time, I’d definitely do it though.’ 

Back together: Mark no doubt relished spending Christmas with her and his family in his native Essex, after eight months apart, before the pair jetted to Los Angeles together for New Year

Gushing about Mark and his success abroad, she added: ‘He’s absolutely loving it [in LA]. I’m always proud of him and he works really, really hard. He knows what he’s doing and the fact that he’s working in America… I’m very, very proud of him.’ 

Mark and Michelle wed in May 2015 at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmonds, before hosting a lavish reception for family and friends at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.

The pair had initially met in Dubai in December 2012, before Mark went onto pop the question just nine months later when the duo returned to the Middle Eastern resort.
