Gemma Collins is ready to say goodbye to the reality TV career which made her famous.
The former TOWIE star, 41, has often been dubbed the Queen of reality TV but she's set her sights higher for future projects as she aims to become a film star.
As well as her role as one of the original members of the Essex squad, the blonde beauty has appeared on shows such as Celebs Go Dating and I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here. and is currently in the Austrian Alps with Gareth Malone and Melvin Odoom to film for a new show.
However, she has revealed she wants to leave the reality life behind her and now firmly has her attention fixed on cracking the big screen.
Speaking on her latest episode of the GC podcast, the bubbly star said: "I definitely want to go into more of an acting role, a movie role, that is something that I do dream of doing."
She also opened up on her other aspirations when a listener further asked her about her future ambitions. "It's to be happy, so firstly my future ambition is to be happy," she confessed.
"And to hopefully buy some land close to my house and put some animals on there - donkeys, horses, dogs.
"I want to give animals mistreated a beautiful home and be with the animals. And maybe to buy a stately home, the GC stately home."
The revelations come after Gemma recently discussed how the current energy crisis had been affecting her in her £2million pad. With so many people feeling the pinch this winter as energy prices soar in the UK, the GC offered her own top tip to keep costs down.
Speaking to her Instagram followers earlier in the month, she said: "Get the candles on, no lights at the GC residence."
She doubled down on the advice on her podcast, saying: "The cost of living crisis, yes I have the news on, I try not to but I said I'm going to spend October and November trying to make sensible cutbacks because if you look after the pennies they look after you.
"I have done something with every meal time, I go into my cupboards and make some serious cutbacks like everyone else. It is scary, mortgages are going up, electrics going up."
