It comes after Gemma revealed her plans to leave ‘toxic’ Essex in favor of a more posh way of life, as she considers a move to Knightsbridge in London.
The star currently lives in her £1.3million ‘dream home’ in her native Essex, but has revealed she fancies a change of scenery.
The reality personality recently shared how she has “outgrown” the neighborhood and is looking for a place to settle down with her fiancé Rami Hawash.
Gemma revealed that she would love to be steps away from her favorite luxury department store, Harrods, as she plans to move to the shopping district.
The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate, who has been spotted shopping there several times, revealed in an interview with OK!.
She said, ‘I want to move, that’s the plan now. I love it up there. I set my sights on that, because I have a country path after all.
‘I like country life in the summer. Listen, there will always be a little bit of Knightsbridge fever in me. I just love being in London. I wouldn’t mind a pied-à-terre – Cadogan Gardens here I come!’
Gemma also admitted that she would love to be able to go to her favorite neighborhood luxury candle brand, Diptyque, every day.

The media star revealed that she would also like to mix with other yummy mummies in the area if she has kids in the future.
She previously admitted she would be more inclined to join baby groups in Knightsbridge, saying: “Going to the mom and toddler groups has never interested me unless it’s Knightsbridge, honey.”
Other options Gemma has considered include Surrey and Wales, as she recently told the Sun: ‘I’ve completely outgrown Essex. It’s poisonous.’
‘I really like Surrey, Sam Faiers lives there. I really like Wales and would consider moving there.’
