Gemma Collins cosies up to male friend as she heads out for merry meal

Gemma Collins has been spotted cosying up to a male friend as she heads out for a merry meal.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 40, was spotted snuggling up to a pal as they strolled along the street.

The blonde diva could be seen wearing a cream playsuit with a matching belt and espadrille sliders as she was seen radiantly smiling with her friend.

Gemma's friend cut a casual figure with a black t-shirt and blue jeans with black trainers.

The pair were seen with their arms around each other and speaking to each other as they continued to their food and drinks in Mayfair.

The GC also took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to share footage of them both eating and drinking at a boozy brunch with other pals.

There were shots, salads, pizza, and more food and beverages to be seen, whilst the group also indulged in singing and dancing at the restaurant.

Later in the footage, Gemma asks the same male friend: "What's your mission statement in life?"

He responds: "My mission tonight is to have fun, to party, have good food, we're here to have a good time, right?"

The outing comes after earlier this month Gemma put her holiday plans outside of the UK on hold and decided to great herself and nephew Hayden, 13, to a meal at the Dorchester in London.

The trip to London came after the lack of Green List travel options have been severely limited by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Posting a photo with Hayden, Gemma wrote: "We can't go away as planned for now but we are holidaying in London, one of the best places in the world!"

Gemma also posted a video from the Dorchester rooftop, saying: "Cool vibes at the Dorch on the rooftop."

A waiter was seen adding truffles to her meal, with Gemma and Hayden making the most of their day out.
