Gemma Collins has confirmed she is going to start trying for a family with her fiancé Rami this year.
The former TOWIE star, 41, has previously made it known she wants children - but revealed the pair are struggling to conceive.
Gem said on her podcast the pair are considering IVF treatment.
And it seems she is ready to begin the journey in August, as she announced the news at her stand-up show - The GC's Big Night Out - in Manchester on Tuesday evening.
She performed at The Opera House on Quay Street - telling the audience how she is hoping to start trying for a baby with her fiancé in the summer.
In October, the GC spoke of her heartbreak as she admitted the couple are struggling for her to fall pregnant naturally.
Speaking on her podcast at the time, Gemma said: "I really want a baby now.
"I've not been using any contraception. I can't get pregnant so I'm gonna have to be brave now and look into this myself."
Gemma admitted not being able to get pregnant naturally so far had been getting her down: "It feels like sometimes – when’s it gonna happen? Why me?"
The reality star was heckled and booed during the first night of her stand-up show.
The star failed to sell out the event, which has been promoted as a 'night of laughter and surprises', ended up being a little bit more than the GC bargained for.
An attendee of her opening night revealed to The Mirror that the former The Only Way Is Essex star spent the first 10 minutes of the show flogging her merchandise.
"She then asked for audience questions but people kept heckling her or asking her to come on stage," the attendee told us.
"Gemma also got booed for saying she likes Piers Morgan."
It was reported last summer that the GC would rake in £250,000 from the tour - with a VIP meet and greet package having been sold at £113.
As she got ready for her big debut, Gemma was being kept company by her beloved nephew Hayden who she said is her "lucky charm".
