Gemma Collins reveals she’s ‘not stopped eating and hasn’t been to the gym in two weeks’ after ‘calling 999 over concerns ex James Argent had overdosed’
Gemma Collins has revealed she hasn’t stopped eating since she reportedly called 999 over fears her on-off boyfriend James Argent had overdosed.
The reality star, 38, who has been on a mission to lose weight over the past year, admitted she was feeling stressed but vowed to bounce back and return to the gym.
Gemma told The Sun on Monday: ‘I ain’t stopped eating. I’ve had a lot of stress and I’ve not been to the gym in two weeks, I’ve been unwell all weekend with a chest infection.

‘When I come back, I will get back on it, I always come out on top.
‘My life always goes a bit t*ts-up but I carry on, I’ve got lots of projects on the table, so it’s exciting.
On Monday, the reality star made her first public appearance since she was reportedly left in fear James had overdosed.

According to The Sun, police ‘broke into’ the TOWIE star’s home last Thursday after he failed to return his friends’ phone calls.
Two police cars and two ambulance crews made their way to Arg’s £1.3million home over concerns he had collapsed.
The publication reported that Gemma dialled 999 after Arg’s parents were unable to get into his house where he lives by himself.
Medics examined the reality star and his parents reportedly insisted that they could look after him.

However, three hours later they are said to have raised the alarm again over ‘further concerns for his welfare’.
In a statement given to The Sun, James insisted he was fine and the reason he did not answer his phone was because he ‘wasn’t speaking to a certain person’.
He said: ‘I wasn’t speaking to a certain person so I didn’t reply. They became concerned and called the police and ambulance.
‘They turned up and checked on me. They came up to my room to make sure I was fine.’
A source said: ‘He has become more and more reclusive and his loved ones are worried about what is going on behind closed doors, away from watchful eyes’ (pictured in May 2019)
The reality star added that he was ‘slightly embarassed’ by the incident and apologised for any wasted police time as he was ‘absolutely fine’.
Arg, as he is affectionately known, has had a tough time of late and it was reported on Monday he has been banned from easyjet for two years.
James reportedly was in hot water with the Italian police after he ran onto a runway during a row with Gemma.
In August last year, Arg returned to rehab following a split from Gemma in a brave bid to tackle his demons.
The TV star spent three months in a facility in Thailand over the festive season in 2016 in a bid to curb his wild ways and revealed that he checked himself in to a programme in order to get the ‘ongoing support’ he needed.
He also spent time in The Priory for alleged drink and drug issues in 2014.
A source said: ‘James’ friends are beyond worried. Their concern is that if this behaviour keeps on happening that one day soon they will find him dead’ (pictured in November 2017)
