Gemma Collins stunned fans tonight as she shared unrecognisable photos from her younger days.
Gemma, 38, shared two photos of her in a green swimming costume on a boat trip to her instagram story.
In the photos, she looks a world away from her current 'diva' persona, with a very natural look.
The Only Way is Essex captioned the first photo: "Woah looking back at old photos."
She then followed up with another photo in the green costume showing her very slim profile - which she just captioned "wow."
Gemma later posted the photos to her Instagram grid - with a much longer caption.
She said: "Spending the evening looking at old pics .... I never grew up body conscious it wasn’t a thing when I was younger I was just young free and me .... yeah I look good but In an innocent way.
"Instagram is way too exposed now for young members who are on here .... they do have pressure and it’s just so nice to look back on this picture and not have had any of that pressure growing up I was just a happy teenager with no body hang ups or pressure
"I think it’s so important for our younger generation to be body confident and free also the way people expose themselves now days on the gram is way too much nothing is held back anymore everything on show is way too much .... younger ones are watching x"
Gemma has become even more of a star this year, after becoming the runaway hit of Dancing on Ice.
Her success led to ITV offering her her own show - called Diva Forever - which started last week on ITVBE.
The show follows Gemma as she tries to crack America in a variety of ways.
This year has also seen Gemma attempt to slim down - with her losing two and a half stone through Dancing On Ice training alone.
She has since had weight loss injections and has been spotted training hard in an attempt to drop the pounds.
