But GC is now looking to change her life up and head for sunnier climes.
A source exclusively told The Sun: “Gemma is viewing homes in Dubai this week.

“Gemma has been keen to leave Essex for a while.

“She’s extremely close to her family but they have been very supportive about her following her dreams – and they would love to live in Dubai too!
“Gemma explored living in the Cotswolds for a while, she still loves it there and it’s definitely on her bucket list, but she sees Dubai as the hot new place to be right now, somewhere she could really thrive professionally, her health would benefit and it’s an incredible place to bring up children – it’s safer and the schools are outstanding.”
The source added: “Gemma has made no secret of wanting to start a family.”
Dubai has become a mecca for UK reality stars, including Gem’s Towie co-stars.
Our insider said: “Gemma has also been wowed by watching her former colleagues and Towie stars Dawn Ward and Sam Faiers who have become incredibly successful living and working and splitting their time between UK and Dubai.”
Gemma’s move to Dubai could also prove lucrative for the star, who is already very wealthy thanks to her popularity on Towie.
The insider revealed: “As far as Gemma’s concerned she can make even more money by living out there – it’s untapped territory and she can become an even bigger star there, plus continue doing all of her very lucrative Instagram work over there.
“She feels like the world is her oyster and it’s all down to her losing so much weight.
“She’s feeling much more confident and happier than ever, she’s more adventurous, she’s saying yes to everything that comes her way and she’s very eager to take things to the next level.
“She doesn’t want to be stuck in Essex all her life. She’s now firmly set her sights on moving to Dubai asap.”
It comes as Gemma is enjoying a new lease of life after she dropped from a size 26 to a size 20 on weight loss jabs.
She started the NHS-approved Mounjaro in November last year, and has reaped the benefits.
Gemma previously told The Sun: “For me, taking the jab is more about helping me not to fixate on food, so I actually only eat once a day now and don’t snack.
“I used to fascinate about food all day, but now it’s not a major player in my life anymore, I’ve forgotten all about it.

“If I get a bit hungry, I’ll have something to eat, but it’s just about making smarter choices.
“The jabs aren’t for everyone but it’s a life changing drug for some people if it’s taken correctly and not abused. It has helped me a lot.”
