GEMMA Collins is quitting showbiz in an attempt to get pregnant.
The TOWIE favourite exclusively told The Sun how she will "rest" this summer to "make a baby" with fiance Rami Hawash, 48.
Gemma has made no secret of her desire to become a mum and told us she has boxed off from August to conceive.
The Diva Forever star, who spoke to The Sun after teaming up with Durex, said: "I can’t wait until the 1st of August because then I can totally relax. I’ve not got a day off until then.
"We are getting to that point where we need to concentrate on having a baby.
"I really want to just rest after August and spend time with Rami and make the baby. I’ve given myself a six month window."
