GEMMA Collins has been accused of exaggerating her recent weight loss after stepping out in a figure-hugging dress on New Year’s Eve.

The Only Way Is Essex star, 37, is currently in training for the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice and has shed the pounds as a result of the gruelling rehearsals.

Reality favourite Gemma revealed to The Sun Online last month that she’s already dropped two dress sizes since signing up for the show.

But she has now been accused of altering pictures of herself to look slimmer after looking dramatically different as she saw in 2019 with her 31-year-old boyfriend James Argent and their friends.

Gemma and Arg dressed up and headed out to their former TOWIE co-star friend Elliott Wright’s bar Olivia’s La Cala in Malaga, Spain last night.

Gemma looked glamorous in a tight white dress as she walked hand-in-hand with James, who donned a bow tie, at the venue.

And, while Gemma has slimmed down following her Dancing On Ice rehearsals, some of her fans noticed she didn’t appear as slim as some of her recent social media snaps.

Commenting on a picture Gemma shared on Instagram last week, one of her followers wrote: “Yeah but the New Year Eve video shows how much Photoshop has been used here.

“If you want to lose weight, do it, don’t pretend. Makes you look very foolish.”

In a new picture on Instagram, Gemma, 37, showed off her impressive weight loss in a slimming black jumpsuit and high heels.

Cinching in her waist with a black belt and wearing a stylish black hat, Gemma beamed for the camera and wrote alongside the shot: "2019 .... I’m coming for YA."

The star's fans were loving her new look, with one writing: "Love the outfit, you look fab xx".

Another added: "Wow ... u look fabulous" while a third posted: "U look amazing. Good luck on dancing on ice x".

A fourth agreed, sharing: "You look amazing well done Gemma xx".

At the launch of Dancing on Ice, Gemma exclusively revealed to The Sun Online how she had dropped two dress sizes, and hoped to lose even more weight as she progresses through the competition.

She said: "I've dropped two dress sizes already but it doesn't matter how slim my body gets my face always carries weight.

"Everything has just gone down but the minute this show ends I'm getting my boobs lifted.

"I just seem to have lost weight off my top bit and my boobs have just gone south so basically yeah, the minute the show ends I'm getting my boobs uplifted."

However Gemma is hoping she will lose even more weight as she progresses through the show.

She added: "I couldn't have really had it done at a better time as I would have lost a bit more on this.

"[Then] Get on a beach in Dubai, get papped and drink a Pina Colada."
