Gemma Collins hit with bill worth thousands after key holiday mistake had huge cost

Gemma Collins shared her holiday phone bill frustrations (Image: SMARTY MOBILE) Gemma Collins shuddered about the "horrendous charges" she'd incurred during an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.

The outraged star felt so strongly about what had happened that she teamed up with a mobile phone company to do something about it. She'd been on holiday in Mykonos when a "particularly bad" phone bill came in, reaching into the "thousands". However, she revealed that it has happened to her "multiple times", with each one making for "an awful experience".

Though the globe-trotting reality star, whose favourite holiday pastimes include collecting unique pottery in Italy, is earning a lucrative income, she isn't about to waste it on excess charges. Instead, she recently teamed up with Smarty Mobile, which is "revolutionary" for her due to the 12GB of EU roaming the company includes as standard in all its SIM plans. Gemma caused surprise among London airport-goers when she turned up donning a huge 23-pocket coat, branding it the "Roam-free Robe".
