Fans hoped Gemma had nabbed a cameo in the popular show - however, the Towie legend has starred in an ad for the prison drama ahead of its sixth season.
In the video, she interrupts a game of poker between Maria Ruiz (Jessica Pimentel), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba) and Cindy (Adrienne C Moore).
Gemma tells them: “Girls I hear you talking. Yes I am the queen of England. But you can call me Gemma”.
But when she brags about her social media fame, Taystee recognises her from I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
She says: “You cried and everything – and you left!”
The Sun revealed that Gemma is expected to work on the series’ social media campaigns.
The multi-million dollar streaming service were said to be seriously impressed by the Towie star's huge online following.
