Gemma Collins has revealed she plans on marrying her fiancé Rami Hawash at the lavish London hotel, Claridge's.
The 5-star venue, located in Mayfair, has long-standing connections with royalty that have led to it sometimes being referred to as an 'annexe to Buckingham Palace'.
It is also no stranger to A-list celebrity guests and Hollywood actors, including Tom Cruise who dined there last week, as well as playing host to star-studded parties and events.
Gemma, 41, who got engaged to Rami, 48, last Christmas, longs for an intimate winter wedding with close family at the top hotel.
“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 told the Mirror ahead of her Bingo Blitz campaign this week.

“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.”
The grand hotel offers wedding packages with a number of rooms for engaged couples to choose from - including the Ballroom, French Salon, and Drawing Room.
The Ballroom, which can host from 60 to 500 people, oozes art deco glamour and is the ideal setting for a wedding breakfast or intimate ceremony.
Over the years, the English Heritage-listed ballroom has played host to society weddings, state banquets, and balls.
It even has its own reception area, adorned with marble and mirrors.
Former S Club star Rachel Stevens married her childhood sweetheart Alex Bourne in 2009 at the venue, while a year later, David Walliams tied the knot with supermodel Lara Stone there.
In the 2000s, Kate Moss celebrated her 30th birthday at Claridge's while Jade Jagger and Lulu Guinness described the hotel as their 'ultimate treat'.
In the 1950s, the hotel was a playground for Hollywood icons adopting it as their London residence, with Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Bing Crosby all staying there.
In its founding days in the late 1800s, the hotel was used for royal visits by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and by the time of the second world war, it was used by the kings of Greece, Norway and Yugoslavia as a place of refuge.
One of the smaller rooms used for weddings at the hotel, the French Salon, focuses around a central dining table, boasting wooden panelling and Renaissance-style decorations including cherubs and paintings.
Meanwhile, the Drawing Room is light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows and can be set up with rows of chairs to create an aisle for the bride to walk down, guided by elegant lanterns.
With restaurant Fera opening in 2014 at Claridge's under the Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan, you can expect nothing less than fine dining at the posh hotel.
An example wedding dinner menu for the winter season features Portland scallops with champaign cream to start for £32, a venison wellington for £52 as a main, and to finish off, a warm, dark chocolate fondant for dessert at £18.
If Gemma and Rami have a guest list of 60 and above, then they'll be able to bag a complimentary suite for their wedding night, which could save them thousands.
Looking at rates for a one-night stay on Tuesday night, the cheapest room available is the 'Superior Room' from £1,380, which comes with a king-size bed and courtyard views, while the 1130ft² Corner Suite would set you back more than £7,200.
While it will be the first time walking down the aisle for Gemma, Rami 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.
