However according to the Daily Mail, although Gemma visited the counterfeit street during her tour of Manchester and Liverpool she didn't actually buy anything.

The news comes shortly after it came to light that the GC is slimming for a Ā£100k body overhaul.

Insiders told Closer magazine that the motivation behind Gemma Collinsā€™ shape-up is to reach a goal set by her LA-based plastic surgeon before undergoing a Ā£100,000 body overhaul.

A source explained: "Dr Ourian has told her to lose another 2st before being eligible for liposuction and other procedures including a tummy tuck and a boob job.

"He told her liposuction isnā€™t a quick-fix to get slim and would only remove 10lbs at the most."
