Reality star Gemma Collins has said her ‘whole world apart’ after letting the cameras in to her life for a new documentary series
Gemma Collins has said her ‘whole world apart’ after letting the cameras in to capture what she thought would be a year of planning her wedding and starting IVF treatment.
The former The Only Way is Essex star, dubbed ‘The GC’, is giving fans an intimate look at her life in a new eight-part Sky documentary series, titled Gemma Collins: Everything. All At Once.
But when Gemma started filming for the fly-on-the-wall series, things dramatically changed in her personal life. Speaking in a newly released trailer, the reality favourite is heard saying: “I thought I had it all planned out. Marriage, babies, but the minute I started filming this show, my whole world fell apart.”
Sharing a video of her filming some content for the upcoming release , Gemma shared on Instagram: “For the past year, I’ve let the cameras into my life in a way I never have before. It’s been a year I could never have predicted. A rollercoaster of emotions, with some of the happiest moments, some of the hardest, and times where I’ve felt more vulnerable than I ever thought I would.
“I’ve shared parts of myself and my life that I’ve always kept private, and looking back now, this film means more to me than I could ever put into words. Thank you to Sky and Navybee for treating my story with so much care, kindness and sensitivity, and for allowing me to tell it in my own way.“I want to thank you all for baring with me and I hope you look forward to watching the show. This is me, my family, my life… everything, all at once. Gemma Collins: Everything. All At Once coming to SKY on the 15th September.”
The release of the docuseries comes after Gemma announced the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Joan. She told fans her “heart is shattered into a million pieces” as she confirmed the news on social media in July.
She shared a black and white picture of Joan as a young woman and wrote in view of her followers: “Today our beautiful mum passed away peacefully surrounded by LOVE.
“Mum, today, every piece of my heart left with you. No words will ever be enough to thank you for loving me, guiding me, and being my mum. You gave me life, you gave me strength, and you gave me memories that I will carry for every day I have left.
“The house will never sound the same without you. Your voice, your smile, your little ways, they are woven into every corner of my life. I will miss you more than I could ever put into words.”
Joan had been in hospital several times over the past few years. In 2024, Gemma revealed that Joan had been unwell, informing fans that “no day is to be taken for granted.” She was rushed into hospital again last month, and Gemma shared at the time that her mum had contracted pneumonia.
Gemma continued her tribute: “I hope you are finally free from pain. I hope you can walk again, laugh again, and feel light. I hope you are surrounded by peace and by everyone who has gone before you, watching over us with love. Thank you for every hug, every sacrifice, every lesson, and every moment.
“Thank you for being my mum. It has been the greatest privilege to be your daughter. Until we meet again, I will carry your love with me. I will look for you in the sunrise, in the flowers, in the birds singing, and in the quiet moments when I need you most.”
The reality TV favourite rounded off her emotional post: “Sleep peacefully, my beautiful Mum what gives me comfort was today we was all with you. You will be loved forever, missed every single day, and never, ever forgotten.”
