Taking to the stage at Proud Embankment, Gemma belted out the Shirley Bassey classic Big Spender, bringing plenty of sass to her performance.
Wearing a slinky all-black ensemble, Gemma shimmied and sashayed her away around the stage, singing alongside boyfriend James Argent's band.
When she finished her performance - which was being filmed for her reality show Diva Fever - Gemma beamed as the crowd went wild.
Arg, 31, was at the side of the stage supporting his girlfriend, as well as Gemma's massive entourage and bodyguard.
