Gemma Collins ‘found collapsed' at make-up artist’s home days after dropping out of appearances over ill health

Reality TV star Gemma Collins has reportedly collapsed in a bathroom after suffering agonising stomach pain.

The TOWIE regular is thought to have been found by her make-up artist who immediately called for help after the health scare on Friday morning.

It is feared she may have kidney stones after suffering from symptoms in recent weeks.

“Gemma had filming commitments this morning but everything has ground to a halt following her shock collapse,” a source told The Sun.

“She was getting ready for the day at her makeup artist Lisa's home and then nipped to the bathroom.

“The next thing Lisa knew was that Gemma had fallen to the floor – so she called for immediate medical attention and may now need to go to hospital."

The insider added: “Family and friends are hoping that she will make a rapid recovery but for now Towie filming has been put on hold.”

Collins has forced to pull out of several club appearances in recent weeks over concerns for her health.

She cancelled a date in Sheffield after being struck down with cystitis before pulling out of another in Brighton.

Breaking the news to fans in a Twitter video she said: “I’ve got to stay in bed. I have got a water infection. I’m not feeling that great. I didn’t want to let anyone down but I’m not well.

“I’m so sorry guys, these things happen though. I’m sorry if anyone is upset, I love you all, don’t think I'm turning my back on you because I’m not. I feel just not myself.”

Standard Online has contacted a representative for Collins for comment.
