Gemma Collins has claimed she’s ‘saving the NHS’ by taking Mounjaro after losing a ‘life-changing’ two stone.
The TOWIE legend, 44, said she’ll no longer need to go to the NHS with an ‘obesity related illness’ thanks to the help of the medication.
Gemma revealed in January that she’d been taking the NHS approved Mounjaro injections and has left fans stunned with her incredible transformation.
She told The Mirror: ‘I’ve lost so much weight, you wouldn’t believe it. It’s the only thing I’ve managed to lose weight on without putting myself on a stressful diet.
‘I think I’m actually saving the NHS. I won’t be going to the NHS with an obesity related illness so I won’t be putting any strain on it. I’m loving life, honey.’
And she doesn’t plan on stopping the weight loss jab anytime soon as she revealed her hopes to lose another two stone.

Gemma, who said her current clothes are ‘hanging off’ because of her dramatic weight loss, said she still gets in shock with her new look.
She added: ‘I want to lose another 2 stone, this time I’ve done it super, super slow and I’ve not put any pressure on myself. I’ve followed it exactly how I needed to do it.’
Last month Gemma revealed her dramatic weight loss in a figure-hugging black gym wear set in an Instagram video.
After dropping two dress sizes, Gemma proudly admitted she ‘feels like a million dollars’ as she confidently showed off her figure.
She told fans: ‘I just love wearing my compression garments, they make you feel super snatched.
‘And they’re just super comfy, breathable. I feel a million dollars in them, you can dress them up or dress them down.’
Gemma has long struggled with her weight and previously admitted she thought she would die after a gastric bypass surgery that left her in deep pain.
The reality legend says her life has been transformed since taking the NHS-approved jab.

The reality star has long wanted to start a family with her fiancé Rami Hawash and believes she will ‘give birth to twins’ next year after losing more weight
Speaking to The Sun last month, she said: ‘I can’t believe I’ve finally found something that works. I’ve lost nearly two stone already and it’s been completely effortless – I don’t even want to eat anymore!’
‘I got on the scales and lost something like 6kg in my first week. I bet my house by May, I’ll have six stone off. And it’s been effortless.’
Gemma, who at her heaviest weighed 23st and was a size 26, said her goal is to get down to a size 16 by summer. She is currently a size 20.
The reality star has long wanted to start a family with her fiancé Rami Hawash and believes she will ‘give birth to twins’ next year after losing more weight.
But Gemma’s weight loss journey was a difficult one before she found Mounjaro, admitting she would even taken appetite suppressant Reductil as a teenager, which has since been taken off the market.
Gemma admitted she would feel ‘suicidal’ when she was on diets and has been weighing for food portions and eating boiled eggs everyday for years.
The star previously had a secret operation to have a gastric balloon fitted but was left feeling so ill after she thought she might die.
She said: ‘It was scary. I should never have done it… I thought I was going to die. I could not get out of bed. The pain in my stomach… because it was like a foreign body in my belly.’
