This is why Towie’s Gemma Collins is totally owning the internet right now

GEMMA Collins is seriously having her moment. The Towie star has gone viral and become a huge internet sensation thanks to a series of memes, or "memays" as she calls them.

While the 36-year-old has always been hugely popular thanks to her witty one-liners on Towie, her internet stardom has really taken off thanks to her wearing an incredible orange dress with huge shoulder pads.

Within minutes of her wearing it, the image was turned into a meme comparing her to an American football player and unlike many celebs who take themselves too seriously, Gemma completely owned it and so the Gemma memes were born…

During her time on Celebrity Big Brother, Gemma came up with some brilliant one liners, most famously when she walked away from an argument shouting ‘it’s Gemma…you c**t’.

The classic moment has since been immortalised into a series of amazing memes, which Gemma herself loves.

Fans have also cottoned on to the unique way she says ‘girls’, as well as a number of her other iconic Gemma-isms, which have all made their way into memes. Here’s some of the best…

Meanwhile Gemma is delighted about the fact she is now an internet sensation and recently took to Twitter to thank all her fans for the memes.

As she hold a glass of champs, she says: " I just want to say thank you so much for all my memes that you have done for me this week on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram.

"Like OMG, it's just gone off and all I want to say is Happy Bank Holiday weekend. If any of you are in the high street this weekend, the champagnes on me. If you see me, I just love you all. Thank you."
