First look as Gemma Collins makes glamorous appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race

Gemma Collins is joining the list of famous faces who have made appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

And in first look snaps of the TOWIE star, 40, on the BBC Three show, she looks every inch the glamorous personality in a hot pink ensemble that features an off-the-shoulder neckline and large bow detailing across her chest.

The reality personality - who tonight will star on Piers Morgan's Life Stories - continues her show-stopping look with long gloves and dazzling diamante earrings.

Going all out for her appearance on the series - that will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from 7pm on February 18 - the Essex native continues her dazzling look with her blonde extensions styled down in a poker straight style.

She can be seen with a face of perfectly applied makeup in the photo taken on the set of the show.

Gemma will star in a segment alongside Michelle Visage where the pair will play the iconic snatch game.

The Snatch Game challenge sees the drag queens dress up and impersonate famous faces.

Revealing her excitement at bagging a guest spot on the hit show, Gemma gushed: "Babes. I absolutely love this show. I love the girls. I love the glitter. I love it all. And I love RuPaul. Iconic."

In December last year, a source dished that Gemma agreed to take part in Drag Race.

A source told the Daily Star : "Everyone is thrilled Gemma agreed to be part of the new series. She is a dream signing.

"Snatch Game is all about having a laugh, so Gemma is perfect for it.

"Last series saw contestant Cheryl Hole impersonate Gemma. So to now have Gemma taking part feels like things have gone full circle."
