Gemma Collins has admitted that she regrets promoting weight loss injections.
The former TOWIE star, 40, was among the many celebrities who came under fire for getting paid to promote SkinnyJabs on social media, with many claiming it is "irresponsible".
And she's now addressed the criticism, saying and she wants to ban the word diet and won't promote the jabs anymore.
The jabs contain the ingredient liraglutide, which carry risks of possible thyroid tumors, including cancer, pancreatits, low blood pressure, blurred vision, dizziness, slurred speech, hunger, rashes, swelling of the face, lips and tongue as well as problems breathing and a fast heartbeat.
Other side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation.
The £250 jabs are also prescribed by the NHS for patients who have diabetes.
Gemma said on her BBC Sounds podcast: "I have said that I'm not promoting any diet injections or anything like that.
"I kind of regret doing it, but I feel like sometimes you're in such a desperate place and you want to lose weight, but actually I've come away from this diet promotion now.
"I wish we could get rid of that word diet, people think, oh my God diet, it's a bad thing.
"It's basically just what works for you."
Gemma has been documenting her new health kick on social media.
She has been going on 10-mile walks and filming herself working out on Instagram.
The GC said on her podcast: "Since turning 40 I have become so much more aware of my health and I'm kind of regretting maybe not taking my health as seriously as I should have done.
"In our twenties and thirties we don't think about it, and I am just trying to be so fit and healthy at the minute.
"I'm on a massive health drive."
The Mirror has contacted SkinnyJab for comment.
