Gemma Collins says she was nearly hospitalised after collapsing with mystery illness

Gemma Collins was nearly rushed to hospital after she collapsed following a battle with a "mystery illness".

The former TOWIE star, who has been hooked up to a drip, said that she "wouldn't it upon her worst enemy".

"I have been so ill I cannot tell you. My workload has been a lot, but I've had a virus. I've been really, really, really unwell," she told OK!.

"I literally had to film up in Wales and I was very unwell," she said during a campaign for hair company Aussie.

" I had to call the doctor out and the doctor said to me, 'Look I'm going to give you medicine but I actually think this is a virus and it's not going to work.'"

She said that she first started to feel poorly at the beginning of August, but tried to push through as she had filming commitments.

She's currently filming More Than Daffs and Taffs in Wales, which will see her explore her Welsh heritage.

Despite trying to continue as normal, she said that her "body was having none of it".

"Basically I've been on drips. Rami nearly had to take me to the hospital on Saturday night because I was collapsing on the floor," she added.

"Literally, it was really really bad whatever I've had, it's been awful."

She's kept fans up to date with her medical woes, sharing photos of drips hanging out of her arms.

The GC has also been eating more organic food in a bid to be more sustainable to healthy.

"I love my body. I find the small changes that I've been making have had such an amazing, significant impact – life changing choices on me," she said

The reality TV star is preparing to marry Rami and has been proudly showing off her slimmer figure.

She told the Mirror that she is hoping to tie the knot at Claridges in London.

Sources claim that she is now on a mission to drop to a size 16 so she can "look and feel her absolute best".

An insider told Closer magazine: "Gemma knows the size she fells most comfortable at and with wedding fever mounting, it’s made her more determined than ever to hit her target of a size 16, so she can look and feel her best on her big day."

"She’s been dress shopping and has already got her heart set on three different creations – insisting she has the licence to have at least three outfit changes as The GC!"
