Gemma Collins has opened up about turning 40 next year and revealed she's planning on having a baby following her weight loss.
The TOWIE star who recently lost 3st following a change in her diet - including becoming vegan - confessed she'd "love to have a child".
She explained, "It would be great for me and such a positive message for all the girls out there who don’t want to rush their life or their life has taken different a direction, like me who’s put their career first."
"But in my forties I’d love everybody to see The GC walking around with a pram," she added to The Sun.
The GC admitted that it was actually her "fabulous" doctor who encouraged her to shed some pounds to help with her baby plans.
"I can definitely have a child, he just told me it would be easier when I’m not carrying as much weight.
"He gave me the confidence not to panic about it. He told me to lose a few stone and it will help me."
