Gemma Collins has confirmed she enlisted police help after receiving a series of abusive letters sent to her home.
The 45-year-old reality star revealed she has kept and documented the messages as she thanked police teams handling the situation. She shared her concerns alongside a clip from her new Sky series, Everything All At Once, which shows her opening hate mail in her morning gown.
Writing to her followers on Instagram, Gemma said she had “been receiving some truly nasty and deeply personal letters, and what makes it even more shocking is believing they may be coming from someone very close to us”. She did not identify anyone or share specific details about the investigation.
Explaining why she had decided to speak out, she wrote: “I’ve stayed quiet because I don’t believe in reacting out of anger, but there comes a point where boundaries have to be drawn. Everything has been kept, documented and is being taken seriously.”
She added: “To anyone who thinks sending anonymous cruelty rat poison dog poo into someone’s home is acceptable, it isn’t. Words have consequences.”
Gemma then expressed her gratitude to the police, saying: “I also want to say a huge thank you to the police, CID, forensic teams and everyone involved who has taken this matter seriously and treated it with such care and professionalism.”
The clip also offers a glimpse of the abuse she has faced as the reality star reads out one vicious letter. The message states: “You’re still here c*** face!
“How’s the weight loss going? Either way, you’re going to look like trash on your supposed wedding day. Hating you madly. The song ‘I always feel like somebody’s watching me’ is so apt. Hahahah.”
Reacting to the message, Gemma says: “This wasn’t what I was expecting this morning. But to be honest with you, being famous does leave you open to being a target. People think your life’s perfect, but they’re gonna watch this and realise it’s really not.”
The eight-part series was filmed over a year and follows a difficult chapter in Gemma’s life, including her final months with her mother Joan. Joan died in July following a bout of pneumonia.
The programme also explores Gemma’s relationship with long-term partner Rami, who opens up about his own personal challenges, reports OK!.
