She recently raised eyebrows when she shared a video on Instagram of her shirtless ex James ‘Arg’ Argent in her bed – before making the decision to delete it.
But Gemma Collins appeared to be focused on getting into the party spirit on Wednesday night, when she was spotted attending a bash on the banks of the River Thames for hairdresser Mark Hill’s Make Waves launch party in London.
The 37-year-old TOWIE star displayed her slimmed down frame in a black semi-sheer top, which featured a gold embellished neckline and was teamed with matching skinny jeans, as she hopped aboard MV Hispaniola for the festivities.
Standing tall in a pair of gold strappy heels, the reality star wore her golden locks in a voluminous blowout, while she highlighted her looks with a generous serving of natural-toned makeup.
Her outing came days after she was spotted leaving her Brentwood, Essex, flat with 30-year-old ex Arg on Saturday morning, following their date the night before.
Gemma wrapped up for the outing in a monochrome padded jacket as she was joined by her 30-year-old ex on Saturday heading towards a car.
She complemented her striking padded jacket with a pair of black form-fitting leggings while she walked from her abode in a pair of black trainers.

The Meme Queen kept to her designer ways as battled the elements with a Louis Vuitton black scarf wrapped around her neck for warmth.
Gemma neatly blow dried her platinum blonde tresses for the outing while she accessorised with a pair of visor-inspired shades, despite there being no sunshine.
While chatting on the phone, Gemma pulled her faux-fur trimmed hood over her head as she attempted to maintain her styled coif in the wet weather.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for James ‘Arg’ Argent and Gemma Collins for comment.
Gemma and Arg’s outing came after they went on a date on Friday with the reality star later uploading a video to Instagram the morning after, with Arg shirtless in her bed before swiftly deleting it.
The ITVBe favourite documented the evening with her ex on Instagram, from the curry dinner they shared to Saturday morning in bed, Face-Timing their pal Ferne McCann and watching The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.
Arg was seen lounging in Gemma’s bed half-clothed before 8AM on Saturday, playing with a phone, in a video that was swiftly removed.
In light of the speculation, Arg’s ex Lydia Bright revealed she’s happy for the pair’s reported romance but she admitted not to expect to go to a wedding should it get that far.
Speaking to The Daily Star On Sunday, Lydia – who split from Arg in 2016 – said: ‘I’m happy for them. I think they could work.
‘I wish them well but I’m not sure I’d go if they got married. That would be a bit weird. I don’t really speak to either of them anymore.’
Meanwhile, Gemma confessed she actually wanted to reunite with her former flame Arg to the Loose Women panel on Friday.
She said this in front of the live studio audience which included her Celebs Go Dating suitor Laurence Hearn, whom she’s meant to be enjoying a budding romance with.
This proved to be an awkward moment as her new man watched on from his seat, the camera cutting to him in a cringey moment.
Speaking about her relationship with ex Arg, Gemma told the panel: ‘Arg actually rung me earlier and he was like, “Gem, can I take you on a date tonight?” This was this morning.’
After being asked about having baby names chosen for her and Arg, Gemma added: ‘If it happens. You know what it’s like. It’s been six years and he hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend. I said if he doesn’t ask me this time I’m definitely going to move on. I’ve got to.’
The notorious meme queen added that although she enjoyed her experience on Celebs Go Dating, and she has struck up a great friendship with Laurence, he was not The One for her.
She said: ‘Obviously, we all know I’ve got a terrible love life. It’s a show and I’m there for the entertainment, but I’ve had so much fun. And I met the lovely Laurence. I had him doing all sorts of jobs for me.
‘I had him doing the Sainsbury’s shop in the snow. He’s been doing all the shelving in my shop… We’ve just become great friends from the show and it’s great having an old-fashioned man around.’
Gemma added: ‘I was single when I went on the show. I was looking for love. I still am looking for love. But no offence, I really, really adore Laurence, but I’ve only known him five minutes. So how can I just sit here and say I’m in love?’
When asked about his romance with Gemma, Laurence said: ‘She keeps me on my toes and keeps things interesting. Who knows what the future holds?’ adding that he hasn’t met Arg.
Nadia Sawalha then said that she could see Gemma marrying Arg, to which she responded: ‘I think so.’
Gemma then admitted she was feeling ’emosh’ as she apologised to Laurence, who added: ‘I could be the best man or give you away, one of the two.’
Gemma broke off her romance with Arg yet again not long after the festive period, when the two reunited in a romantic TOWIE Christmas special.
Viewers were left in tears after the romantic scenes which saw Arg declare his love for Gemma, ending in a touching kiss under the mistletoe.
The former couple have been involved in a back and forth romance throughout a large part of TOWIE’s run, and have both proclaimed their love for each other on numerous occasions.
