Outspoken The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins revealed a more vulnerable side during last night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.

Speaking to fellow housemate Angie Bowie, Gemma recalled the time she left her house to go shopping, only to find her boyfriend had a rather nasty ‘surprise’ for her.

Opening up about the heartbreak she experienced, the bubbly blonde said:

“I popped to the shop and he called me, 'Where are you my darling? My fluffy cat' - which is what he would call me – 'Hurry back, I really miss you.' I said I'd only been gone for ten minutes but he said 'Hurry up, I have a surprise for you.'

"I was getting all excited thinking, 'What's he done? Has he bought me flowers?' I got home and he'd f**ked off. That was my surprise. He left me."

That sounds like a pretty spiteful move to us! We feel for you, Gems.

She went on to give away more details about her love life at the moment.

But luckily for Gemma, she seems to have moved forward beyond the unpleasant incident, revealing about her current dating status.

She told:

"I've been dating for three months, I'm very happy; I'm not rushing into anything. I don't know what will happen when I go into the Big Brother house; I'm away for a month. Happy, calm, peaceful.

"Looking forward to 2016 being a good year. I had a very turbulent relationship with Alex last year, so over it now.

“My confidence is massively back. I've been dating Stephen for three months, I feel very comfortable with him and we're really good friends. Who knows where this is going to go!"
