Gemma Collins hilariously likens herself to Jennifer Coolidge in The White Lotus during Sicily break

Gemma Collins took a leaf out of Jennifer Coolidge’s style book as she compared herself to the American actress’ character in The White Lotus while holidaying in Italy.

The former TOWIE star, 42, is currently staying at the San Domenico Palace which is the same hotel where the second series of the hit HBO comedy-drama is set.

The plush hotel is located in Taormina, a picturesque hilltop town on the east coast of Sicily, and will set you back £4,000 a night.

Essex native Collins was clearly loving life as she emulated Coolidge, who plays Tanya McQuoid and wore a similar look on the show, which uncovers the lives of rich guests.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a picture of herself wearing a headscarf and a pair of oversized Gucci glasses, with her blue Chanel bag firmly in the frame.

She even tagged Coolidge in the post and quoted one of her lines from the White Lotus, writing: “These GAYS are trying to murder me !!! X”

While the Legally Blonde and American Pie star has yet to respond, Collins’ fans were loving her post and called for her to be cast in the next series in the comments section.

“GC for season 3 of the White Lotus,” wrote one person.

“Gemma for Season 3,” agreed a second, alongside to hands-up emojis.
