Gemma Collins teams up with Bridget Phillipson — and reveals how she’d motivate students as education secretary

Gemma Collins has revealed what she would do if she was the education secretary in her latest collaboration with the UK government.

The reality TV star features in several videos on the Department of Education’s social media pages, where she sits down with Bridget Phillipson as they promote post-16 education on social media.

In the latest video, Collins revealed that she would do a “morning shoutout” designed to motivate students to learn.

“Everyone waking up for school, tune in to me, the GC. All I'm asking you to do is learn whilst you’re there. Now go to school hunnies, go to college, go to uni and have a fabulous day,” she declared.
