Gemma Collins' body confidence journey amid 3.5 stone weight loss

"I've lost so much weight, you wouldn't believe it," she told the Mirror last year. "It's the only thing I’ve managed to lose weight on without putting myself on a stressful diet. It is a revolutionary, life-changing drug for people who are overweight. I feel so much happier in myself, I feel a million dollars.

Gemma continued: "I think I'm actually saving the NHS. I won’t be going to the NHS with an obesity related illness so I won’t be putting any strain on it. I’m loving life, honey.

"It's just a shame I had to wait until I was 44 for this life-changing drug to come out because being overweight isn't good for your health, and it's just so lovely now that I have now been able to live like a normal person. There’s no food noise anymore. I feel so much better and free as a person to concentrate on other stuff because I'm not constantly thinking about food."

Mounjaro is a prescription-only treatment for weight loss and diabetes treatment. 

It's clear to see the incredible impact Gemma's weight loss has had on her confidence; the star is never shy of slipping into striking swimwear. 

While the star is back on her journey with the prescription-only drug, Gemma revealed she had to scale back her use of it after experiencing "agonsing" gall bladder attack. But thankfully professionals reassured her it was nothing to do with the medication and she has since been "microdosing" the injections. 

"I've given it a rest and I've really been managing what I've been eating. But I think I'm going to start microdosing because I feel with the microdosing, you don't get all the [side] effects."
