Gemma Collins channels Marilyn Monroe as she shows off delicate singing voice

Gemma Collins has showed off her delicate singing voice as she performed for a friend for their birthday.

The 39-year-old reality star was videoed showcasing her vocal talents as she brought a birthday cake for hairdresser Jay Birmingham.

The stylist, whoused by many reality stars, was celebrating his big day when The GC thought she would give him something to remember.

Channelling Marilyn Monroe, Gemma replicated the performance the Hollywood starlet gave to US president John F. Kennedy.

That famous rendition in which Marilyn wished the president a happy birthday took place on May 19, 1962  - 10 days ahead of his actual 45th birthday on May 29.

It would seem that The GC got her timing a bit better as she sang a few lines of Happy Birthday, Mr President to the person who she has entrusted to style her golden locks over the years.

The touching moment was filmed by former Big Brother contestant Aaron Frew, as Gemma walked into the room with a birthday cake, candles ablaze.

Aaron is heard to be full of laughter as Gemma sings in a whispered voice to Jay, who looks surprised to be treated to such a personal moment.

The video that was posted to Aaron's Instagram story was followed by a snap of Jay enjoying a birthday meal at an Indian restaurant, though there is no hint as to whether Gemma has joined them for a pint and a poppadom.

The TOWIE star has recently revealed that she is getting her breasts reduced in size to fit with her new slimmer figure after dropping three stone.

She is hoping changing her figure again will help her move on from her bitter breakup from Arg, who reportedly dumped her after she refused to be in an open relationship with him.

Gemma told The Sun : "I can't wait to get rid of these boobs, they’re massive and look ridiculous. I have never looked better than I do now and I’ve never felt so good.

"I know there are so many people out there who love big boobs and pay for surgeons to give them big boobs but I want them smaller.

"My boobs are all natural. I never have wanted surgery. But as my body is getting smaller, I feel like I am falling over on top and I just want them gone."

Gemma and Arg broke up earlier this month.
