Gemma Collins recreates glam White Lotus character on £4k-a-night Italian holiday

Gemma Collins has recreated a glam White Lotus character as she holidays at the Italian hotel used by stars of the show.

The Essex girl compared herself to the glamourous Jennifer Coolidge from the comedy drama series whilst staying at the San Domenico Palace.

The Taormina hotel costs £4,000 a night and TOWIE star Gemma lapped up the luxury lifestyle in a nod to Jennifer's character Tanya McQuoid.

Gemma, 42, emulated the actress by wearing a similar look to what she wears in the show, which uncovers the lives of rich guests.

She posted a snap of herself wrapped in a floral scarf paired with a long white coat and a pair of oversized sunglasses.

The reality TV star added a pop of luxury with a blue Chanel bag.

The GC tagged Jennifer and captioned her post with one of her iconic lines from the show: "These GAYS are trying to murder me !!! X."

HBO series White Lotus follows the exploits of guests and employees over the span of a week at an exclusive Sicilian resort.

She was flooded with comments from fans who enjoyed the reference, with one saying: "Gemma for Season 3."

"GC for season 3 of the White Lotus," added another.

"Love this!!," wrote someone else. A fourth fan commented: " #whitelotus lol xxx."

It comes after she admitted to causing major damage to a £130,000 Lamborghini whilst filming in Marbella.

The shocking moment never made it to our TV screens and remains unaired, but Gemma dished the dirt on what happened.

Posting to her 2.2million Instagram followers, she shared a picture of the car in pristine condition.

"A few minutes after this scene I did 12k damage to the car," Gemma began in her caption on Instagram.

She added: "@garylukemc I think you was saying be careful with the car the scenes you don’t see he he."

A fan pointed out the scene in Marbella resembled something from HBO hit series The White Lotus, joking: "This episode of @thewhitelotus is my favorite."
