Gemma Collins reveals very unusual transformation to £1.3m Essex mansion as she admits ‘I couldn’t relax’
GEMMA Collins has revealed the very unusual transformation to her £1.3m Essex mansion as she admitted 'I couldn't relax'.
The former Towie star, 43, took to Instagram to give her 2.2m followers a glimpse of it.
The GC bought the property, which she called her, "dream Essex home" back in January 2021.
Now three years on, the reality star decided that she needed to change her the interior to help better herself.
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese traditional practice that focuses on using energy forces to create stability and harmony in people and their environments.
She asked for help from Kimberley Gallagher to help her create a calm space, and she made a video on how she "feng shui'd Gemma Collins' home".

Kimberley shared a clip of her living room and explained: "Too many seats made it hard for them to relax and for the energy to flow around this area."
She continued: "All the artificial flowers had to go, Feng Shui is about life and energy and these bring a feeling of stagnation and prevent good energy flow around the home."
Gemma also had some masks on display which Kimberley wanted to remove.
She said: "As beautiful as these are, the story behind these masks involved a tragic love story. Not the energy you want in your home so these were taken out."
Sharing a sneak peek of the end result, they explained: "We added the elements her home needed: fire, metal, earth and red earth.
"And we created a calmer, more grounded and happy home by the time we left."
Gemma captioned the post: "The @thefengshuiflow is absolutely magical it can transfer your home.
"I have such a busy house hold lots of energy’s in and out it’s the house where you come to off load your problems and then when that energy goes it’s left in the house.
"I just couldn’t relax my home didn’t feel like mine anymore there’s always too much drama around the kitchen table and I needed the ZEN BACK.
"I can’t thank the @thefengshuiflow enough I’m fully in a ZEN STATE."
What is the meaning of Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is also known as Chinese geomancy - the art of placing or arranging buildings or other sites to encourage success.
The term feng shui translates into wind-water, two elements credited with encouraging energy flow.
According to ancient tradition, bodies of water are thought to have the power to direct Qi, also known as the cosmic current.
One who understands Qi should then be able to replicate its patterns in their living, working, and emotional environments.
It comes after Gemma dropped a huge hint that she's going to return to Towie - after claiming she's ‘banned’ from the ITVBe show.
The star shot to fame on the second series of Towie in 2011.
"Never say never.
"I wouldn’t be living the life I live if it wasn’t for Towie."
Gemma also confessed that after a bit of a break from filming reality television, she's going to be back very soon.
"I had a bit of a rest from it all, because I was living a reality life, not a real life," she added.
"I had to have a bit of a break to let my own life flow.
"In reality TV, there’s got to be something new every day.
