The 39-year-old reality star received a nod for the prestigious award after two YouTube stars, Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, put her name forward after creating The Romford Research Institute for Peace.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Archie said: "The GC has spent 39 years promoting peace and harmony across Essex - and beyond.

"If you look at what peace really means, take for example her on-off relationship with James Argent - no one died. It was a conflict that did appear to be resolved peacefully and we at the Romford Research Institute think this is a great demonstration of world peace."

The boys also believe the former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has what it takes to bring peace to North Korea.

Josh explained: "We believe in The GC effect, which is a peer reviewed hypothesis that if Gemma spent a long weekend in North Korea she could use the skills as seen in 'TOWIE' to attempt to bring peace to the region."

It comes after Donald Trump received a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, but the YouTubers - who have also nominated rapper Kanye West - think Gemma is even more peaceful than the US President.

Archie added: "Not only are we saying GC is an incredibly peaceful person but at the Romford Research Institute we are saying, if Donald Trump is going to be nominated and publicly celebrate this nomination at his election rallies - then why not Gemma Collins?

"She is arguably more peaceful than Donald Trump. And it's the same with Kanye West. His nomination has been successful and he will also be considered."

The boys have also put up Disney character Mickey Mouse for the prize.

Josh said: "It's the same with Mickey, we feel he has been left out. He is very deserving, he has had many jobs - notably as one of the detectives in the city of Mouseton.

"Mickey has spent 92 years keeping the world peaceful - and he has never been nominated. This is the point we are trying to make."
