Gemma Collins ‘joins Real Housewives Of Cheshire after filming cameo scenes’ following split from James Argent

GEMMA Collins has filmed scenes for her cameo in the upcoming series of Real Housewives of Cheshire already.

According to Manchester Evening News, the reality star ditched the streets of Brentwood for her appearance on the ITVBe show and fans can expect to see her very soon.

The Sun Online have approached Gemma's representatives for comment.

The 38-year-old first sparked rumours that she would be joining the Real Housewives stars last week when she was spotted enjoying a girls night out with Dawn Ward to celebrate her daughter Darby’s 23rd birthday.

On the night the former Dancing On Ice contestant was pictured looking confident in a leopard print top, black trousers and strappy sandals as she headed out to the event at Victor's restaurant in Alderley Edge.

Flashing a V sign to the cameras, Gemma appeared to have put her recent relationship drama behind her as she sported a glam look for the occasion, with a deep bronze smoky eye, false eyelashes and heavy contour.

Gemma's outing was the first time that she had been seen out since she dumped James 'Arg' Argent after he humiliated her.

Arg humiliated his superstar ex last weekend when he posted a video of her asleep and snoring to social media.

Mortified, Gemma reacted by dumping the 31-year-old and kicking him out of her Essex mansion.

To make matters worse, the club singer then supposedly sent vile messages to his ex-girlfriend saying: “You are a fat joke of a woman. An absolute car crash! You’re nearly 40 f***ing years old, you embarrassment.”

Asking her on-off boyfriend of seven years to “please leave my home today”, Arg apparently retaliated by writing: “You fat horrible lump. Nasty mean woman. Who the f*** do you think you are? You’ve got more rolls than Greggs.”

A source close to Gemma, known as The GC, said: “She couldn’t believe he posted a post of her snoring to social media. It was utterly unacceptable and humiliating. She feels Arg wouldn’t have done that if he really loved her.

“Arg has become very nasty since her appearance on Dancing On Ice. It’s just like A Star Is Born. Gemma feels Arg cannot handle the fact her fame has become so much bigger than his."

However, James has now admitted that the messages were sent in "the heat of the moment" and he regrets fat-shaming her - especially as he's now the heaviest of the pair.

"I’m ashamed of what I said to Gemma – I love her with all my heart," he told .

He added: "I have problems with my own weight so I'm the last person who should be trying to fat shame."

He continued: "It's a bit pot, kettle, black as Gemma lost two stone doing Dancing on Ice so I actually weigh more than she does now."

Talking about the photo, he added: "I actually thought she looked really cute and assumed she'd see the funny side!"
