Gemma Collins, 40, reveals she’s had her Botox and fillers dissolved and says celebs ‘all look the same’ while urging fans to ‘stay natural’
In October she had a treatment to remove the fat in her chin, after having a variety of anti-wrinkle and lip-plumping injections.
But now, Gemma Collins, 40, has revealed that she has had her Botox and facial fillers dissolved after feeling as though she no longer looked like herself.
The TOWIE star also insisted that celebs ‘all look the same’ while urging her fans to avoid non-surgical aesthetics and ‘stay natural.’

Gemma told The Sun: ‘I have tried Botox and filler, and I had it all dissolved. I can’t stand it. I was looking at myself thinking “I just don’t look like me anymore”.
‘The young girls of today, all these lips, it’s just a bit too much. People think it’s the norm now, and it’s not. We’ve got to stay natural. People need to stop messing about with their faces!’
According to the publication, Gemma also said that celebs ‘all look the same.’
The GC claims that she now relies solely on collagen supplements and facial peels as well as a good skincare routine.

It comes after Gemma splashed the cash on £350 Aqualyx injections to remove fat from her chin at the end of last year, in addition to HIFU jaw-tightening treatment to contour her face.
The reality star declared she feels ‘brand new’, and claims her skin looks like an airbrushed Instagram filter, as she shared a glimpse of her treatment with fans .
The Meme Queen also said her face has changed for the better after losing three stone during the pandemic, and she plans to lose another three.
She added: ‘I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying “you’ve got a filter”. Honey, this ain’t no filter, this is me! My authentic self.
It’s a bit too much! ‘The young girls of today, all these lips, it’s just a bit too much. People think it’s the norm now, and it’s not. We’ve got to stay natural’ insisted Gemma
‘I have just been looking after myself a lot recently and loving myself. I’m a queen at the end of the day, this is how I look. There is no filter on here. This is a normal video.
‘Yes, my face has changed a bit but for the better. I’ve lost weight. I’m feeling good, I’ve got time to look after myself…And I feel brand new.’
Gemma previously vowed to ‘age reverse herself by 20 years’ with the help of non-surgical procedures.
However, she recently got into a spot of bother with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) as she promoted controversial SkinnyJab injections, which she credits for aiding her weight loss.

The Essex diva shared a post on her Instagram page earlier this year hailing the weight loss jabs, but has been criticised for not making clear that the post was an ad.
The drug Ozempic in SkinnyJab is used to treat people with type 2 diabetes, and the company was one of three firms criticised by ASA for wrongly promoting prescription-only medicines.
The company was also criticised for making weight loss claims that were ‘not compatible with good medical and nutritional practice’.
In a statement to The Telegraph, a spokesman for SkinnyJab said: ‘We are extremely disappointed the ASA failed to consider extra evidence before reaching its verdict in relation to one of the adverts which we dispute should have been marked as an ad.
‘That said, we regret any lapses. SkinnyJab takes its responsibilities under the advertising code extremely seriously as we help tackle the UK’s obesity crisis.’
