The only way isn’t Essex for Gemma Collins – who wants out of the county that made her famous.
Reality favourite Gemma, 42, says the place is “toxic” and is eyeing a move to Surrey, or Wales where her granddad worked down a mine with Sir Tom Jones, 82.
Gemma, who starred in ITV2 series The Only Way Is Essex from 2011 to 2019, said: “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.”

A decade ago Gemma drank in Brentwood’s bars with TOWIE pals Amy Childs, 32, and sisters Billie, 33, and Sam Faiers, 32.
She lives in the Essex countryside with fiance Rami Hawash, 49.
She said: “I don’t see many people. I’m very particular about who I have around me.
“I protect my energy.”
That's despite the county being named the best place to survive a zombie zombie apocalypse - you might want to change your mind Gemma.
