And so it seems that Gemma Collins hasn’t found love after her split from James Argent.

The GC, 39, was linked to millionaire businessman Nadir Gul last week, but has now denied all rumours of them being an item and has blasted the source of the stories (a former friend apparently) on Instagram.

It was reported that Nadir had asked Gemma out on a date and seemed “smitten with her” but both Gemma and Nadir have hit back at the claims.

Gemma, who recently opened up about being attacked by school bullies during an episode of her podcast, revealed on her Instagram stories that she was “so shocked and saddened that someone who is very close to (her) has sold UNTRUE stories for money to the paper!!!!!”

She went on, “Nadir and myself have been friends for YEARS. Please do not pay this source a penny!!!!! It’s really sad when you're good to everyone they sell out on you.”

Well let me tell you something now, you don't ever disrespect a girl like that again. Take a good look at this, you ain't ever gonna get this candy!"
