Gemma Collins to star in Diva on Lockdown

Gemma Collins is being filmed in her Essex home for a new series Diva On Lockdown.

Gemma Collins's fly-on-the-wall reality series Diva Forever has been reworked as Diva On Lockdown amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The second run of the show was filming in Essex before the coronavirus pandemic led to a government-enforced shutdown and strict social distancing rules.

As a result Diva Forever was postponed by ITVBe but 'The GC' has now installed fixed-rig cameras in her home in order to document how she is coping with confinement.

"We were in the middle of filming my new series of Diva with loads of exciting stuff planned," Collins explained on Instagram. "But as you know, we've found ourselves in the middle of a pandemic. So here we are now... I'm standing in my living room, with fixed rig cameras all over my house to bring you Diva on Lockdown.

"You want the GC, so the GC found a new way of working. You're going to see everything that I do in isolation. We'll all be on our journey together.

"I'm being filmed and I've also got the producers speaking in my ear so if it sounds as if I'm talking to myself... well maybe sometimes I am. I can guarantee though, what you see will definitely be 100% authentic GC. I hope it cheers you up in these difficult times."

The three-part series Diva On Lockdown is expected to start on ITVBe later this month.
