Gemma Collins reunites with Kardashian star for wild and messy London night out

Gemma Collins reunited with her Celebrity Big Brother pal Jonathan Cheban for a wild night out in London last night.

The pair first met as housemates on the celebrity edition of Big Brother in 2016, in the same series that featured the likes of Tiffany Pollard, Angie Bowie and the late David Gest.

The Only Way is Essex alum, 41, has seen Jonathan, 48 - who's known for being the 'best friend' of Kim Kardashian, 41 - on several occasions since their time on the show.

They however haven't been together for three years but finally reunited last night - with Jonathan documenting some of the evening on his Instagram account.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star had announced his return to the UK yesterday afternoon, sharing a photo of himself stood outside Harrods in the capital city.

Alongside the photo, Jonathan - who walked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house during his stint in 2016 - wrote on his Instagram Story: "Finally back [in] my favourite place".

He later teased that he would be reuniting with his former housemate, writing alongside a photo from their time on the show: "Tonight is the night I see [Gemma] after 3 years."

Jonathan followed up by posting footage of them sat together in the back of a vehicle, with him saying: "Finally three years we've been waiting for this and it happened."

Gemma is seen doing a peace sign with her fingers before kissing her pal on the head. In response to Jonathan's comment, she said: "Yeah baby. I want my shoes back!"

Fans may recall that the line about her shoes is a throwback to a comment she made in the Big Brother house which sparked drama between her and housemate Tiffany.

Jonathan - who had already left Celebrity Big Brother by that point in the series, which was won by Scotty T - responded to his pal: "I don't have your shoes, that's Tiffany."

He later posted a clip of a party atmosphere at Cirque Le Soir, though him nor Gemma were visible in the footage from the circus-themed nightclub in London.

She shared her own update from the night out, bumping into former TOWIE co-star James Lock. She asked if he was ill - referencing a line from an argument they once had.

Gemma had previously shared what appeared to be throwback clips of herself and Jonathan - with her writing alongside one of them: "So excited to see you tonight."

The series of Celebrity Big Brother which featured the pair is considered one of the best among fans of the show - with it having included a number of now iconic scenes.

Alongside Gemma having her hair "frazzled" and various other dramas, these included the unforgettable 'David's Dead' mix-up and plenty of explosive arguments as well.
