Gemma Collins has revealed that she’s had multiple stalkers who’ve ‘threatened to kill her’
Gemma contacted police about some of the incidents but admitted she only really felt safe once she ramped up her own personal security.
Gemma was among many TOWIE stars during her time on the show to have shops in Brentwood – including Sam and Billie Faiers and Lucy Mecklenburgh.
In 2019 Gemma moved out of her Essex home following stalker fears.
Removal men were seen at the reality star’s home, carrying boxes of her belongings and furniture out of the Essex pad.
The moves came after it was revealed Gemma has been forced to leave the house in the gated community after being stalked by a man who previously fat-shamed her.
A month before the move Gemma was escorted from her Essex home after revealing she was being stalked.
The Dancing On Ice star was chaperoned from her abode by officers and close protection security detail amid claims she had been left feeling ‘scared and anxious’ following the ordeal.
A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Poor Gemma is traumatised by this entire episode. She is really upset and anxious, and has been scared to even leave her house.’

The insider added that the situation was being taken seriously by police who offered her advise on how to proceed going forward.
In November the year before, a video emerged of two men calling the reality star a ‘fat c**t’ as she enjoyed a café lunch outside.
The TOWIE veteran took to her Instagram to share several pictures and videos of a man.
Despite the reason for the person’s appearance outside her home unknown, Gemma alleged that a man had been waiting around her property for days.
Videos showed a man walking up and down a street opposite while later footage sees him sat in his car as police approach him.
Gemma claimed that his appearance had left her scared to leave her home, threatened and unsafe, resulting in her calling the police who she praised for being ‘amazing’.
She said: ‘Do you all remember that shocking video of two boys horrifically ABUSING ME well I am now petrified for my LIFE he has now found my home I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE.
‘I am so grateful for how amazing the police have been I am actually scared for my life ….. has been here since SATURDAY why would you abuse someone then find out where they live and make them petrified I can’t leave my home through FEAR….. I don’t feel safe and I feel very THREATENED and UNSAFE.’ (sic)
