Gemma Collins dons a navy hoodie and skintight leather trousers as she films on Oxford Street 

She recently told how she is counting down the days until December 2 when the second coronavirus lockdown is due to end.

And Gemma Collins cut a casual figure as she filmed on Oxford Street in London on Tuesday. 

The TOWIE star, 39, donned a navy hoodie with ‘I just want to be me!!’ written across the front, one of her well known phrases from a social media video. 

Gemma also wore a pair of black skintight trousers along with matching trainers as she stopped off at Kingdom Of Sweets.

The reality star was joined by a stylist who helped to fix her hair, which she wore in loose waves for the day.

Gemma was clearly in good spirits as she gave a peace sign to the camera and struck a playful pose at the front entrance of the store.

The star put safety first as she also wore a black face mask with a bejewelled embellishment.   

Gemma appeared to be doing some filming during the outing as she was joined by a cameraman inside the shop.

It comes after Gemma issued a cheery good morning to the Prime Minister on Monday as she counted down the days till the end of the second national lockdown next month.

The TOWIE star turned heads in an extravagant hot pink tulle gown in a throwback Instagram snap, in which she stated she is ‘all ready for December 2nd’.

Captioning her post, Gemma – who in the past has branded Boris ‘a bit of a sort’ – penned: ‘Morning Boris !!! I’m all ready for December 2nd.’ 

Earlier this month, the star posed in another sensational gown in her garden as she vowed to be glam during lockdown.

The TV personality looked like her typically glamorous self in a champagne one-shoulder dress which featured a thigh-high split, as the nation went into lockdown.

The GC captioned her Instagram post: ‘HUNS don’t forget to dress up show up and never give up !!! Lock down needs to be GLAM’.

Elsewhere, Gemma recently revealed a list of demands she expects for a date night with a potential suitor.

The Essex diva admitted on her podcast that her ‘expectations are literally out of space’ and that she’d ‘expect a chauffeur-driven Bentley’.

Gemma said: ‘I expect the works. You know why? It comes from a place of true love. I just don’t think popping down the pub for a pint is really what you would do when you are taking me out.’

She added: ‘I mean, I’d expect a chauffeur-driven Bentley, I’d expect my favourite bottle of perfume, and I’d expect the car to smell of nice perfume when I got in it.

‘I would expect hundreds and hundreds and thousands of roses.’

The reality star admitted that her expectations were ‘totally over the top’ and that you should reciprocate what you are given.

She said: ‘Expectations are a funny thing because I expect someone that dates me to be so enthusiastic, so into spoiling me, so into making every day amazing, that is going to be a lot of pressure for that person.’

Earlier this year, the reality star revealed she had shed three stone after using her time in lockdown to focus on her health and preparing nutritionally balanced meals. 

Additionally, in September 2019, Gemma admitted that she would be using £250 SkinnyJab injections to kick start her diet.

The TOWIE star shared a post on her Instagram page in April hailing how the weight loss jabs had been so beneficial in her weight-loss mission. But she has since been criticised for not making clear the post was an ad.

SkinnyJab was criticised by The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for wrongly promoting prescription-only medicines used to treat diabetic and obese patients.

The company was also criticised for making weight loss claims that were ‘not compatible with good medical and nutritional practice’.

The Instagram posts, which were promoted by a string of models and other celebrities alongside Gemma, claimed the drugs would ‘suppress appetite’ and help users lose up to a stone in two weeks.

Gemma has said that she wanted to lose weight to help her chances of conceiving, explaining in July: ‘I’ve got a fabulous doctor. I can definitely have a child, he just told me it would be easier when I’m not carrying as much weight.

‘He gave me the confidence not to panic about it. He told me to lose a few stone and it will help me.’

Following the ASA ruling, Jane Smith, CEO of the charity Anorexia & Bulimia Care, told The Telegraph: ‘Inappropriate social media promotion can influence destructive eating disorder behaviours such as extreme food restriction, over-exercising, or the abuse of diet pills or laxatives.’
