ITV Good Morning Britain viewers convinced Gemma Collins' announcement is an April Fool

Viewers of Good Morning Britain are convinced Gemma Collins' announcement she is bringing out music is an April Fool.

The GC appeared on the ITV breakfast show to exclusively reveal that she will be releasing a power ballad this Christmas.

Speaking to presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, the 38-year-old told them she will be working with DJ Naughty Boy on the new project.

She said: "I have some very exciting news, I am bringing out a single this Christmas."

Piers pressed her, asking if it was real, given that it was April Fool's Day.

She said: "It is real. No one has heard it yet because it is top secret.

"I met Naughty Boy at the Brits and he said 'with all the stars here [at the Brit Awards] you are shining brighter than anyone'.

"It is going to be very special, it is a power ballad."

But fans of the programme remained unconvinced, tweeting the show.

One said: "This has to be an April Fool!! It just has to be... #gemmacollins is lying #gmb."

Another said: "Gemma Collins bringing out a record. Now I know it's April 1st!!"

BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin told to 'beam back to the ship and get changed'  

While the former Dancing on Ice contestant was on the show, she was asked about her position on Brexit.

After revealing she voted 'leave', she said that Prime Minister Theresa May needed to 'get on with it and make a decision'.

Piers agreed with her and said she could do a better job at leading the country.

*Good Morning Britain is on ITV1, weekdays from 6am
