Gemma Collins has confessed her three wedding extravaganza is going to ‘shock’ her fans as she revealed her new Sky series will show ‘the real her and not the GC’.Â
The TV personality, 44, who stars in Paddy Power’s latest gaming ad with Coleen Rooney and Danny Dyer, is set to wed her fiancé Rami Hawash, 50, in 2026.
And in true Gemma fashion, she told the Daily Mail that she is putting her own spin on the three evenings rather than following all the typical nuptial traditions.Â
Gemma is said to be having three ceremonies, with the main one in the UK, the second taking place abroad and then a ‘formal one’ for their closest family and friends.
And while she has set herself a staggering challenge of ‘topping’Â Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s $50 million wedding, she has explained that people are not going to expect what she has planned.
She told Daily Mail: ‘Oh, it’s definitely got my own spin on it. I think people will be quite shocked actually. Yeah, it’s not gonna be what people expect. This is the real Gemma Collins, not the GC’.

The star’s big act of commitment to Rami will be a huge part of her return to reality TV in Gemma Collins: Four Weddings And A Baby.Â
Sky has teamed up with Gemma to pull back the curtain on her life as she enters a pivotal chapter: the road to marriage and motherhood, with ‘no filters or walls’.Â
And Gemma has already started putting in plans in place for each of the three events.Â
The former TOWIE star has previously explained that she wanted a woodland theme with a fairytale twist, inspired by her love of Disney’s Maleficent and was hoping for a ‘mythical and boho’ atmosphere.Â
One of the big days is said to be happening in the winter of 2026 after an astrologer advised her that it was the luckiest year to wed.Â
Speaking to The Mirror about what fans can expect from her bridal looks, she said: ‘I would love something similar to the lace one Lady Gaga wore in House Of Gucci.Â
‘I might even go back to my roots and wear something really Essex-like and over the top.
‘At the moment I’m thinking of something Italian-themed, then a ‘wow’ one with a huge train. I might even recreate Victoria Beckham’s wedding moment with the tiara, I loved that.’
For the evening entertainment, Gemma has explained that she wants DJ Fat Tony to perform a set.
She has even teased that her two best pals John and Edward Grimes, also known as Jedward, would be walking her up the aisle.Â
Rami got down on one knee in the Maldives, after whisking Gemma off on a birthday holiday in February 2024, which she admits took her completely by surprise.
He planned a romantic sushi dinner before telling her to look out the window, where he laid lights on the beach that read: ‘Will you marry me?’
Rami set up an outdoor seating area and flew out hundreds of roses so petals could cover the sands where they were sitting, with the ring in a shell.
Gemma said that it was ‘beautiful’ and admitted she ‘had no idea’ what was coming and didn’t have any makeup on or even a bra, but added: ‘I wouldn’t change a thing.’
Rami popped the question with a huge diamond ring that the Daily Mail revealed is worth in excess of a staggering £200,000.
Gemma has known Rami for over ten years after meeting the businessman back in 2011 and they have been engaged twice before.
He had originally proposed by placing the ring in a Christmas pudding in 2013 when they first started dating.
However, four weeks later, Gemma had called off the engagement.
But the pair then reunited during lockdown, seven years after breaking off their original engagement.Â
This wedding update comes after Gemma starred in PaddyPower’s latest gaming advert alongside Danny Dyer, Peter Crouch and Coleen Rooney.Â
The ad, created by BBH London, promises more cinematic glamour, mischief and star power than a Hollywood heist, and hits screens this Saturday 18th October.
Swapping the Queen Vic for the bright lights of Las Vegas, the tongue-in-cheek campaign sees Danny front and centre as casino kingpin, dripping in swagger as he walks through a larger-than-life Paddy Power world.Â
With his no-nonsense charm, he welcomes viewers into Paddy Power Games’ outrageously over-the-top casino universe that features ‘All sorts of games for all sorts of treacles.’

Set against a backdrop of velvet tables, gold chips, and brazen luxury, the campaign transforms gaming into a world that’s bold, playful, and bursting with personality.
Gemma delivered one of her most iconic one-liners, plus the ultimate scene-stealing take down from the UK’s favourite lead investigator, as Paddy Power Games reminds players that confidence is always in style.
Speaking of the advert, Gemma said: ‘Let me tell you something, this ad is pure glamour, and did you see the dress, that gorgeous number came home with me!Â
‘Paddy Power Games went all out with this one, it felt like being on a Hollywood set – lights, camera, casino! I had the best time living my best life at that craps table.Â
‘It’s bold, it’s fun, and it’s got The GC written all over it!’Â
