Gemma Collins looked unrecognisable as she showed off a new look after her recent health scare. The reality star worried fans when she shared that she had been forced to call an ambulance to her home in the middle of the night.
Taking to Instagram, the former TOWIE star posted a snap of paramedics in her kitchen, with equipment spread out on the floor. Over this, she wrote: "Thank you to all the amazing people that helped me this evening," with an ambulance emoji and a red heart emoji. And a second photo showed the ambulance parked outside, to which she added:. "I really hope you get all [you] deserve," alongside a red heart emoji.
Gemma then later returned to her social media platform to offer an explanation for her Posting to her Instagram Story she said in a video of her talking to the camera: "Just to say thank you for all your messages and well wishes. I had a terrible shock last night.I had terrible chest pains and I thought I was having a heart attack but thank god, it wasn't that.
"I will go into it all later but I just want to say thank you for your well wishes. The NHS were absolutely incredible. I had nothing but such a great experience with them, and I really hope they get all their pay rises, they work so hard. I am just very happy to have not died from a heart attack last night. But, onwards and upwards. I will report back later."
But Gemma said she was 'alive' and that nothing would stop her from working'. And she appeared to be in high spirits when she showed off a dramatic new look. The self-confessed diva renamed herself Karen as she switched up her blonde locks in a new video posted on Instagram.
The 42-year-old could be seen rocking a blonde bob wig with a pair of oversized dark sunglasses covering her eyes as she posed for the camera. Gemma also played Eve's tune Who's That Girl in the background as she captioned the post: "ALRIGHT KAREN !!!"
Former Geordie Shore star and I'm A Celebrity winner Vicky Pattison was among the first to respond, writing: "Dyingggg! Still fit though." And fans were also loving the temporary change.
