 suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction in her quirky outfit at Cheltenham races on Thursday.

The poor weather conditions left Gemma's satin pleated skirt saturated in mud and rain, in a video shared on social media.

Luckily, she quickly received some assistant by two gentleman beside her who were on hand to help.

Later in the day Gemma met up with fellow reality star  as they wrapped up warm in the private boxes.

Gemma left the whole room in stitches as she yelled 'I'm f***ing loaded!' during a sit down lunch after winning £20,000, adding: 'I’m coming home with 20 large ones.'

She pocked the hefty winnings during day three of the races, £5,00 of which was from one £500 bet alone. 

Gemma Collins, 45, suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction in her quirky outfit at Cheltenham races on Thursday

Later in the day, Gemma yelled 'I'm f***ing loaded' during a sit down lunch in a private box after winning £20,000, adding: 'I’m coming home with 20 large ones.'

The reality star, 45, quaffed champagne and punched the air with glee after her horse, Meetmebythesea, came first in the 2pm race with 9/1 odds.

Taking to her Instagram at the end of the day, the former star fanned herself with the wad of bank notes alongside the track Work B***h.

She penned: 'Absolutely had the best day ever I’ve been very lucky today ☘️☘️ @paddypowerofficial thank you for all the luck ☘️ I’ve absolutely smashed it out the park today with the horse picks'.

Joining a host of other stars on the day, Gemma arrived by helicopter and stood out wearing a plaid coat with brown furry sleeves and a silk headscarf. 

She wore pink gloves and carried a large Mulberry Bayswater bag – and wore sunglasses, of course.

Gemma has signed up for I'm A Celeb All Stars series, filmed in South Africa last year, and admits she 'felt like Lara Croft' tackling the 'terrifying' trials.

She confessed that after over a decade of feeling like a 'black cloud' hung over her head following her onscreen meltdown in Australia, quitting the show over her fears in just three days, she has finally proven herself.

Speaking about her determination to move on from her 2014 experience, which turned Gemma into a meme and viral clip, she said at Monday's I'm A Celeb All Stars launch: 'Obviously, it didn't work out for me the first time around.

'When I got asked to do it again, I thought I had spent my whole life with this black cloud hanging over my head. I am older now, I just thought, I have to do this before whatever happens to me in my life, I must go back into that jungle. It was one regret I had. This was a total redemption from me.

'On a real one, I went in there as Gemma Collins and it's like the GC is the bravado and she'll have a laugh and whatever, but I was so stripped bare because I knew it was so disastrous the time before.'
