Now The Sun Online can exclusively reveal that The GC is on new weight loss plan , which are injections that act as an appetite suppressant.
The official website states that SkinnyJab "removes hunger from the equation", also reassuring that the suppressant used in the the plan regulates blood glucose levels that allows the body to turn stored fat into energy.
It boasts that the plan is suitable for anyone aged between 18 and 76 and the first programme last three weeks, costing £250.
Repeat jabs are £135 a pop and last two to four weeks.
Dr Sarah Jarvis, clinical director at patient.info, told The Sun Online: "It should only be used by people who are obese, or who are significantly overweight and also have other medical conditions.
"In studies, the average amount of weight lost by people taking this drug for weight loss was about 4-6kg over a year, and about 4.6kg over 3 years.
"Some people will lose more, some people less. But it clearly is not a ‘miracle cure’ – there really is no side-effect free miracle solution for obesity.
"This injection should only be used under close medical supervision, in addition to effective diet and lifestyle changes.
"Like any other licensed drug, it has side effects – among the most common are feeling sick or being sick and diarrhoea."

She had also said that she insists on having a treadmill with her whenever she is on set filming for her new reality show, Diva Forever.
Meanwhile, Gemma's fitness instructor claimed that the blonde beauty is on a "no sugar and no carbs after 6pm diet" to ditch the pounds.
Vicky Young told at the time: "For breakfast she’ll have poached eggs, avocado, tomatoes on sourdough, then lunch will be a big salad with kale, peppers and avocado, with either chicken or tuna steak.
"For dinner, I make her vegetarian curries, or sometimes it’s chicken and halloumi kebabs with peppers on a skewer with tzatziki salad."

WHAT ARE WEIGHT LOSS INJECTIONS?
THE SUN Online can exclusively reveal that the secret behind Gemma Collins' impressive three stone weight loss is SkinnyJab injections.
The jabs act as an appetite suppressant, reducing hunger and cravings to ensure that users eat less.
SkinnyJab report that it takes three days for their clients to experience a loss of hunger when on the plan, with a three week plan costing £250, and repeat pens £135 after that.
Fasting diets can typically be dangerous, with your body entering ketoacidosis, or "starvation mode" when cells aren't able to get enough glucose (sugar) for energy.
However, SkinnyJab reassure users that the appetite suppresant used in their plan regulates glucose, allowing the body to use stored fat for energy.
The website states: "This means that you can safely consume small portions without experiencing the undesired effects of starvation mode."
The company also insist that side effects are limited, with mild nausea affecting less than 1% of their patients.
There is also an on-hand medical team available, with all clients undergoing a full clinical health screening before they are provided with the jabs.

It was also believed that she had been exercising with the help of personal trainer - and fellow Towie alumni - Charlie King.
SkinnyJab was founded in February 2017, and the website states that all clients have to undergo a full clinical health screening and "comprehensive medical consultation" before they are provided with the product.
