Gemma Collins thinks the current 'Only Way Is Essex' cast is "terrible".
Gemma Collins has slammed the current TOWIE cast
The 42-year-old blonde shot to fame when she appeared on the ITV2 reality show from its second series in 2011 but she thinks there are no longer any "stars" on the programme and it isn't as entertaining as it used to be.
Gemma - who left 'TOWIE' in 2019 - moaned to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I watched it the other night and I’ll never get those minutes of my life back. What’s happened?
“There were about two scenes in it. Chloe Brockett was good, and the new girl Elma [Pazar] but the rest of them were terrible.
“There’s no stars there, darling – we were stars.”
And the 'Diva Forever' star insisted there is no chance of her returning to the programme because it is "toxic".
She added: “Being in those toxic arguing environments... it’s a load of c***.”
Gemma recently insisted she's keen to get away from Essex and has considered a move to Wales.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “I’ve totally outgrown Essex. It’s toxic.
“I really like it in Surrey, Sam Faiers lives there. I do love Wales and I would consider living there.”
The outspoken star also expressed her dream of representing the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Speaking before Mae Muller was announced as this year's entry, she said: "I have Welsh in my blood - my nan was Welsh.
"All of the Welsh are good singers - Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey.
"I think I could represent us at the Eurovision Song Contest. I think I would be good they should get me.
"Katherine Jenkins is another one, and I think I'm just as good. It's obviously a Welsh thing."
