TOWIE diva Gemma Collins has come under fire after being accused of Photoshopping her head onto a model.

The reality TV star faces a backlash after allegedly pasting her head on an existing model and making the body larger, according to Katie Green, a former face of Wonder Bra.

The Daily Star report that the model is furious at Collins, 37, after she noticed the eerie similarity between an image of her and the TV star.

The paper claims Katie, 30, is seeking legal advice from her solicitor over the incident: ‘She furious and thinks it’s a total infringement,’ a source says.

‘It’s a terribly bad photoshop. A child could see it’s a fake.’

‘You can tell they’ve just stuck Gemma’s head on Katie’s body.’

The source cites how similar the entire image is and that it’s simply been made bigger: ‘In the photos her legs are shorter and wider, her body is wider. Even her hands are wider.

‘You can still tell it’s Katie though.’

They also added: ‘Katie is a massive body confidence ambassador and she just finds it surprising why she would feel her body wasn’t good enough.

The source goes on to question Collins’ integrity and wonders why she did it in the first place: ‘Did she not want to pay for a celebrity photoshoot or did she not want to model the clothes?’

All traces of the image have since been removed from the internet by the TOWIE star and her team, after the model complained.

Yahoo Celebrity has reached out to Gemma Collins for further comment.
