Gemma Collins 'counting down the days' until LA trip: 'I'm coming for you!'

Gemma Collins excitedly shared her countdown to her trip to Hollywood, revealing she’ll be Stateside in 16 days.

The reality TV star kept fans up-to-date with her travel plans on Friday, tagging good friend Jonathan Cheban in the collage.

“Counting down the days!!!!” she wrote. “Cheebs, I’m coming for you!”.

Earlier in the year, Collins revealed that she planned to head off to the United States because her “intuition” was telling her to go.

“I’ve never been to LA,” she told Jonathan Ross on his self-titled show. “[I’m going to LA because] the cameras want to be on me the minute I touch down in LA, to follow me having a go at [making a career in America].

“My intuition always guides me to the right place. I want to travel the world.”

Collins, 38, explained that she “thinks there is a lot more to see” and she wants to “get out” into the world outside Essex.

She admitted that she was unlikely to immediately become a “big star” when she first “rocked up in America” but hoped “luck” would be on her side.

Days ago, Collins showed off her dramatic weight loss after she adopted a “vegan lifestyle”, choosing to “eat life and not death”.

The former TOWIE star thanked fans for their kind comments on her slimmer figure, saying that her “hard work is paying off”.

Alongside a picture of her throwing a peace sign, Collins wrote: “Thanks for your weight loss comments my hard work is defo paying off #veganlifestyle #eatlifenotdeath.”

The weight loss comes months after Collins gave up on a “diet and weight loss nonsense”, urging fans to do the same.
