Gemma Collins ‘petrified’ to leave her house after calling police over man hurling abuse

Gemma Collins has said she is “scared for [her] life” after claiming a man who targeted her with vile abuse in public has found out where she lives.

Collins, 38, told fans she was forced to call the police after allegedly spotting the man outside her house. She claims he has been there since Saturday.

The reality TV star, who found fame on TOWIE, shared a series of pictures and videos on Instagram, saying she feels “threatened” and is “petrified” to go outside.

“Do you all remember that shocking video of two boys horrifically ABUSING ME well I am now petrified for my LIFE he has now found my home,” she wrote.

“I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE I am so grateful for how amazing the police have been I am actually scared for my life ..... has been here since SATURDAY why would you abuse someone then find out where they live and make them petrified I can’t leave my home through FEAR.

“I don’t feel safe and I feel very THREATENED and UNSAFE ..... he told the police he was waiting for an appointment and three hours later said he was waiting for Gemma because he is a PAP.”

Collins, who recently split from her partner James ‘Arg’ Argent, also shared the video, which allegedly shows the man who is waiting outside her house, hurling abuse at her in the street.

They call her a “fat c***” and a “fat f****** pig” as they drive past while she is dining out with her mother Joan.

Fans voiced their shock at the clip with many branding the men “vile human beings” and “horrible people”.

Collins frequently opens up about being fat-shamed. In 2014 she told Heat she was left feeling vulnerable after receiving abuse when out in public.

She also confronted Jason Gardiner during the current series of Dancing on Ice after he took aim at her weight as he criticised one of her routines.

Argent was this week accused of telling Collins that she has “more rolls than Greggs” after they reportedly split.
