Gemma Collins has encouraged her fans to try controversial Skinny Jab injections as she gushed about her weight loss in a recent video.
The Essex bombshell, 39, shared a clip of herself promoting the product with her 1.5 million Instagram followers and credited the company for her dramatic two-stone weight loss.
The GC gushed over the product and insisted it was 'life-changing' as she told fans they could get weight loss results like she did if they tried out the scheme.
Beaming a huge smile at the camera, Gemma told fans: "Everyone who has been asking 'how the hell have you lost weight, GC?' Well, it's all down to Skinny Jabs - Caroline and the amazing team there.
"They have transformed my whole life with regards to dieting."
She continued to praise the controversial weight loss injections as she encouraged her followers to get involved with the brand.
The TOWIE icon added: "It's something that basically you can do too. Now, there's a lot of companies using my pictures out there but I haven't actually used their products.
"It's the Skinny Jab product. You get one-on-one care, you can call them and you get immediate response, it's so fantastic."
Before finishing the video with a big pouting kiss for the camera, Gemma gave Skinny Jabs one final plug. She said: "Summer's not going to be too far away and you can lose two stone just like me."
In recent months, the reality TV star has thanked the weight loss jabs, that cost £250, for helping her slim down by "curbing her appetite."
According to the SkinnyJab website, the injection works by "removing hunger from the equation", while regulating blood sugar levels and helping the body to turn fat into energy.
However, the weight loss fast track is said to have risks involved as the jabs contain the ingredient liraglutide, which is known as Victoza and Saxenda.
According to Victoza's website and Saxenda the medication that can melt away the pounds carries risks of possible thyroid tumors, including cancer.
Doctor Diana Gall, from Doctor 4 U, told Mirror Online: "All medication and treatments have potential side effects that are clearly listed in the patient information leaflet (PIL), but for the drug to be approved in the first place the drug needs to be effective, and the benefits need to outweigh the known risks."
She added: "The side effects of drugs are listed from very common (more than 1 in 10 people are affected) to very rare (less than 1 in 10,000 are affected).
"More serious side effects are extremely unlikely, and this is especially the case when using weight loss pens as instructed alongside a healthy diet.
"Glamorising weight loss pens as an easy fix may be an issue, but with two thirds of adults in the UK now considered overweight or obese, they really can help with weight loss, the side effects and risks should be left for the patient to decide if it is right for them."
The reality TV queen previously said of the controversial weight-loss jab: "I definitely feel much better since losing weight and I have got more energy and stuff.
"When you eat rubbish food, you feel rubbish and when you eat healthy, it’s a lot better."
Last year, Skinny jab opened a new London clinic with Gemma appearing as a guest of honour. The clinic offers a three-week programme for £250 to anyone between the ages of 18 and 76.
Clients will have to splash out an extra £135 each time for an extra jab. SkinnyJab claimed one injection should last between two and four weeks.
