GEMMA Collins stunned in a black swimsuit as she announced that she’s quitting social media today. Towie legend Gemma, 43, took to Instagram with a gorgeous beach snap as she devastated her fans with the news. But, thankfully, she'll be back online next month after her next sun-soaked holiday is over.
Gemma wrote: "To all my lovely followers. It is that beautiful time of the year where I get to take the GC chip out and have a holiday. "I am wishing you all the best summer, get of your phones make memories with your loved ones and I will see you all in September.
“The tans will fade but the memories will last FOREVER. "Thank you all for your continued support and lovely messages on the insta #overandout." The reality star often posts snaps from her luxury holidays on Instagram and was previously slammed when she was pictured drinking a £200 glass of champagne on a flight .
Gemma - who shot to fame on the ITVBe reality show in 2011 - recently hit back at those who say she 'flaunts her wealth' on social media . Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she said: "Darling, if you worked as hard as me you could be in the same position as me. "I didn’t get lucky, I worked extremely hard to get where I am.
We can all manifest the GC lifestyle. "Nobody gave me a pound, I did it all myself. I haven’t stopped working but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
"People who say ‘she’s flash, she’s this, she’s that’ - darling, I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve got. I never gave up and I got there, so if I want to sit on a first class flight I will." But even Gemma likes to save money where she can.
She previously confessed to spending an eye-watering £100,000 on a holiday to Mykonos . And she revealed how another trip to the Maldives was a "bargain" compared to her Greek Island break. When asked what's the most she's ever blown on a getaway, Gemma replied: "It would have to be Mykonos.
The Maldives was half the price of Mykonos, it was a bargain. It was like £22k." Gemma also insisted those who troll her for travelling in style can do it too.
She said: "People can have my life, you can have it all, you can have anything you want in this life. "You don’t need to suffer, you don’t need to have holidays that aren’t luxury - you need to manifest.".
