Gemma Collins signs six figure deal to become the face of budget airline Wizz Air

Gemma Collins has signed a hefty six figure deal to become the face of budget airline Wizz Air.

The former TOWIE star, 39, is shifting her focus to building her empire as she signed the lucrative deal following her split from James Argent.

The GC shared the exciting news on Instagram as she showed fans a mock-up of the airline's staple pink aeroplane with a snap of her face plastered on the side.

Alongside the snap, Gem penned: "This is the GC here !! Welcome on board BABY !! LETS GO !!!

"Don't forget your masks and who wants Prosecco ! There's only one way to travel !!! WHIZZ AIR. ENJOY @wizzair."

While Gem was getting her fans excited about her latest business venture, Wizz Air took to their Instagram page to share the same snap with their customers.

The airline penned: "The new @gemmacollins1 livery. May be coming soon to an airport near you.

According to Sun Online, Gemma jetted off to Tenerife to film promotional content for the budget airline to encourage Brits to travel abroad this summer.

A source told the outlet: "Gemma loves going abroad so when Wizz Air approached her team it was a no-brainer. Plus the planes are pink — her favourite colour.

"After signing on the dotted line, Gemma flew out to Tenerife with Wizz Air to shoot content for them.

"She'll be announced as the face of the company in the coming weeks and will be plastered across billboards and online adverts — as well as being on the box."

The source added Gem was the "ideal person" for this campaign as her face is "hugely recognisable" among Brits.

Mirror Online has contacted Gemma's reps for comment. 

It seems as though Gemma is putting her heartache aside after parting ways from longtime on/off boyfriend Arg after he reportedly wanted an open relationship.

Gemma was left hurting after James called her a slew of cruel names including a "hippo" and "fat f**k".

She shared a collection of savage screenshots of their exchange on her Instagram before quickly deleting the messages.

At the time she also wrote of her heartbreak and announced that she would take a break from social media.

But she's back on social media now and she is getting stuck into raking in the cash from her new deal.
