"I don’t want to patronise you but when people say, ‘what’s your talent?’ other than being you, why are you getting £75,000 to post something on Instagram?"

Gemma replied: "No I get it, it’s bizarre isn’t it? I mean you mentioned J-Lo, Beyonce, Madonna, people really do see me as the next one in line. I don’t know how I’ve done it."

To his shock, the journalist asked: "You have made one?"
