Gemma Collins is praised by fans for her half a stone weight loss as she poses in a black skin-tight jumpsuit

Gemma Collins was praised by her fans as she showed off her dramatic weight loss as she posed for an Instagram photo on Monday.

The TOWIE star, 42, shared a stunning snap as he got into the Halloween spirit as he posed in a skin-tight bodysuit in a pumpkin patch.

Gemma has lost half a stone ahead of her appearance on the Real Full Monty later this year, where celebrities strip off for charity.

The reality personality, who added a pair of white boots to the look, was surrounded by pumpkins and posed next to a black vintage car.

Gemma wore an animal print headscarf and ditched her typical heavy glam make-up for a natural, fresh look.

“HAPPY MONDAY, it’s HALLOWEEN, it’s okay to be weird ✌ you can buy my viral by selling one piece NOW,” she wrote, adding her TikTok store link.

Fans were quick to comment under her latest post, praising the reality star amid her astonishing weight loss.

“Gemma you look amazing ❤️❤️your workout inspiration for life, go girl,” one user said.

“Stunning queen HAPPY MONDAYb you are definitely serving up the fall vibes Gem Love you xxx,” wrote another.

A third echoed: ‘Where is pls xx’s jumpsuit you look amazing ❤️.’

“Looking good girl ❤️,” a fourth person wrote in awe.

Earlier last month, Gemma – WHO met King Charles and Queen Camilla at a charity event The Animal Ball in London – reflected on the highlights of her career and hopes it would help others who have experienced negativity.

On her Instagram page, the reality star wrote, “YOU are a split second away from always changing the direction of your life. I hope this video inspires you.

‘A Romford girl invited to meet the KING and QUEEN, make all your dreams come true every day, we have one life!!! Enjoy it and go for it.

‘AND to all the people along the way who told me NO…talked shit about me…said unkind things…brands told me I was too fat…talent agencies told you to lose weight, we don’t want you our books or websites people who gossip about me or put me down or abuse me on social media…. THANK YOU.

‘Because I always followed my own path and all the NOs made me stronger…. I don’t see the KING or QUEEN inviting you….

‘My point is that the worst thing anyone is going to say is: NO, yes, it may undermine your self-esteem or confidence for a split second, but remember who you are inside and what your dream is!!! And it will always win.”

It comes as Gemma teamed up with the Royals in an unlikely first meeting in June when she attended a conservation charity ball at Lancaster House.

She has long been passionate about animal welfare and showed her support for conservation charity Elephant Family at The Animal Ball.

King Charles and Queen Camilla also attended the event, which marked the charity’s 20th anniversary, as they share Gemma’s passion for conservation.

Their sweet meeting comes months after Gemma – also known by her alter ego ‘The GC’ – said ‘is there anyone worried’ about the royal family other than the late Queen Elizabeth.

Gemma, who previously called King Charles ‘handsome’, was thrilled to meet the monarch for the first time at the event and even invited him and Queen Camilla to go on safari with her.

She has long had a close relationship with the conservation charity and made a donation when she purchased two wooden life-size elephant sculptures from their 2021 Co-Existence exhibition in the Royal Parks.

Some of the 125 elephant sculptures are now on permanent display in the gardens of their Majesties’ private homes in Highgrove and Raymill, and Gemma posed with them at the ball.

During her meeting with Queen Camilla, Gemma gushed over the elephant sculptures as she said: ‘They are absolutely beautiful. What I like about it is the way the eyes move with you in the garden.’

Her Majesty then complimented the reality TV star on her striking headpiece, a headband featuring a shiny cherry and caterpillar.

“I’m so happy to be here and share this evening with you,” Gemma told her.

Gemma turned to the king, bowed and shook his hand before bestowing the title of ‘King of the Planet’ on him, praising him for his conservation work.

Gemma said: ‘You really are the king of the planet and we love you for what you do for the animals. Please keep spreading that message, it means so much.”

When Gemma later took her seat at the event, she was asked about her royal meeting and confessed that she had invited King Charles and Queen Camilla on a safari.

She explained: ‘I’m planning to make a documentary to raise awareness among the young people, and I really hope they get involved.

‘Me on safari with King Charles and Camilla, it would be great. I asked him about it, I said, “Would you be into it?”

Gemma told how King Charles had simply chuckled in response to her question, which she took ‘as a yes’.

Gemma added: ‘Today there should be no one who shows cruelty to another living being and this is why Charles and Camilla are close to my heart and I am so fascinated by all the good work they do in the field of nature conservation. ‘

The meeting comes months after Gemma said ‘is there anyone concerned’ about the Royals other than the late Queen Elizabeth, who died in September, and told how her dream is to star in The Crown.
