Gemma Collins directs new episode of Celebrity Antique Road Show

Gemma Collins will be back on screens as she co-directed an episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip with radio host Melvin Odoom.

The former TOWIE star, 42, is joined by his close friend Melvin on the show, which sees celebrities compete to uncover the most interesting antiques and make the most money at auction.

It may seem unlikely that the star will be booked for the show at first glance – but the antique spotting is just the latest Gemma has added to her repertoire following her recent appearances on Celebrity MasterChef and even Springwatch.

In the newly released pictures from the episode, Gemma and Melvin pose side by side in front of a classic car.

In the snaps, Gemma looked ready for summer as she donned a blue floral long sleeve top and white trousers.

Other stars who have recently appeared on the show include former Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt, Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas and Strictly Come Dancing couple Janette Manrara and her husband Aljaz Skorjanek.

This comes after Gemma revealed her plans to leave ‘toxic’ Essex in favor of a more ritzy lifestyle as she considers a move to London’s Knightsbridge.

The star currently resides in her £1.3million ‘dream house’ in her native Essex but has revealed she’s keen on a change of scenery.

The reality personality recently revealed that she has “outgrown the area” and is looking for a place to settle down with her fiancé, Rami Hawash.

Gemma revealed she would like to be a stone’s throw from her favorite department store, Harrods, as she plans to move to the shopping district.

The Diva Forever star, who has been spotted shopping there on a number of occasions, revealed in an interview that he has his sights set on the area OK!

She said, “I want to move – that’s the plan now.” I love it up there. I have my sights set on that, because I have a country block anyway.

“I love country life in the summer.” Listen, I’ll always have a bit of Knightsbridge fever. I just love being in London. I wouldn’t mind a pied-à-terre – Cadogan Gardens, here I come!’

Gemma also admitted she would love to go to her favorite luxury candle brand in the area, Diptyque, every day.

The media star revealed that if she has children in the future, she would also like to be with other delicious mommies in the area.

She previously admitted she would be more inclined to join the baby groups in Knightbridge, saying: “I’ve never been interested in attending the mother and toddler groups, unless it’s Knightsbridge, darling.”

Other options Gemma has considered include Surrey and Wales, as she recently told the Sun: ‘I’ve completely outgrown Essex.’ It’s toxic.’

“I really like Surrey, Sam Faiers lives there.” “I love Wales and would consider living there.”
