Gemma also recently revealed she once had to inform the police about a troll who made a violent threat towards her.

During the latest episode of The Gemma Collins Podcast, the reality star said when she was younger she was "probably a bit bothered" by what people thought of her, and this led to trolling.

When one individual messaged her threatening to hurt her physically if they encountered her in the street, she contacted police as she felt "no-one should be messaging that and clearly that person is not in a sane mind".

She also called for tougher action to be taken against those who send "a bad, hateful [or] inciteful message to someone" online.

The Only Way Is Essex airs on ITVBe.
