Gemma Collins' requests for dream extravagant wedding at lavish London hotel

Gemma Collins has revealed more detail on her upcoming wedding plans with fiancé Rami Hawash.

While we can expect a big party from the glamorous former TOWIE star, she is looking to make the special ceremony more of an intimate family affair.

Speaking with the Mirror ahead of her Bingo Blitz campaign next week, the 41-year-old bride-to-be says she is hoping for a winter wedding at Claridge's in London - however no plans are set in stone as of yet.

“At some point, I will get married... I’m just going to do it at Claridge's as a small affair… it will be a winter wedding,” Gemma reveals.

“I will have an extravagant party, don't get me wrong.

“But what I’ve learnt is that it is your friends and family who love you the most, and spend your time with.”

Since moving to the countryside in Essex, Gemma has become more outdoorsy and spends a lot of time in her garden, looking after her plants.

She added, laughing: "Or maybe I will get married in the woods. I’m a very country girl now."

Claridge's is a lavish 5-star hotel at the corner of Brook Street and Davies Street in Mayfair, London.

It has long-standing connections with royalty that have led to it sometimes being referred to as an 'annexe to Buckingham Palace'.

Last year, Gemma made it clear that she doesn't want any distractions from her on her big day.

“One thing’s certain, I won’t be having any bridesmaids… it’s all about me, baby!” she told Closer magazine last August.

While it will be the first time Gemma has walked down the aisle, Rami, 48, has been married before and was recently in the midst of finalising his divorce.

The owner of a car mechanical repairs company in Essex has been with Gemma on and off for a decade.

The pair have even been engaged before, announcing their plan to get married on December 27, 2013 - but this was broken off just weeks later.

The now loved-up couple rekindled their romance again in lockdown after Gemma split with James 'Arg' Argent.

And last December, Gemma and Rami announced they were once again engaged - eight years after the pair initially declared they were planning to tie the knot.

F ans of Bingo Blitz, the freemium online board and card game, can join Gemma on social media for the chance to win a £1000 night out from Monday.
