‘I’m ready for the lockdown!’ Gemma Collins wears plastic gloves to buy SEVEN packs of toilet roll (and red wine) as she fills TWO trolleys with groceries amid coronavirus outbreak
Gemma Collins took to Instagram Stories on Friday to reveal she was stockpiling groceries amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Proving the shops ARE still stocking the shelves, she put on some plastic gloves to hit up her local Marks and Spencer to make sure she was ready in case she did need to self-isolate.
Gemma’s video started from the comfort of her car as she and a pal put on some gloves, as they were ‘taking no chances.’
Panic-stricken: Gemma Collins wore plastic gloves to buy SEVEN packs of toilet roll as she filled TWO trolleys with groceries amid the coronavirus outbreak on Friday
Bits and bobs: She picked up a car boot full of groceries (proving you can still buy toilet roll) and thanked the staff in Marks and Spencer for going above and beyond to help her
The 39-year-old bellowed ‘Covid-19, Covid-19, Operation Covid-19’ as they prepared to go off and get their haul.
Gemma said: ‘We are being sensible, I’ve called upon @thisgirlcanorganise. I didn’t want to get caught up in it all. We are off to get some food shopping.
‘We are taking no chances. The message I want to get across is everyone starts being sensible, doing what the government are saying…
Covid-19: Gemma enlisted a pal to come with her and they put on gloves and used hand gel to make sure they were well prepared
Stockpiling: Once inside, Gemma had the help of some lovely staff who helped her to whizz her trolley around the store
‘Wearing the gloves, using the gel, washing your hands, keeping your distance from anyone with a cough or the flu.’
Gemma then headed to M&S to tell her viewers, they have ‘helped her out no end.’
She said: ‘This is trolley number two. How many toilet rolls? Seven [packets]. A bottle of Malbec.
Time to tally it up: Gemma even filmed her multiple items going down the conveyor belt
Now that’s service: She was even assisted in taking the trolleys back to her car
‘I’ve totally crumbled today. I’ve caved in. The staff here have been sensational. They felt the panic in me. I can’t thank you enough.
‘They have gone above and beyond in every way.’
The staff helped Gemma to wheel her very stocked trollies out of the shop and helped her to pack all the shopping into her boot.
She said: ‘I’m ready for the lockdown guys. Aaron here has gone above and beyond. I hope your bosses can hear this.
‘I was panicked but you’ve put my mind at ease.’
DEFRA have said that supermarkets are being given less restrictions on opening times so that they can restock their shelves more often.
That’s a lot of shopping: Gemma had said that she was feeling panicked before going to the store but that her mind was now at rest
Many thanks: She thanked two staff members, including a man called Aaron, for helping her pack her car
