Gemma said she was surprised 'lost 1st 4lb (8kg)' during the show in South Africa, which was filmed in September 2025; pictured September 2025 

It comes as ITV viewers declared that on Tuesday night. 

Joined by Craig Charles, Gemma was thrown in at the deep end by tackling the infamous eating trial in a bid to win her team a spot in the main camp.

The star also overcame her fears to ride into camp on a helicopter, having broken down in tears during her last attempt in 2014.

Gemma's return was quickly praised by fans, and they declared she was well into her 'redemption era'.

After their arrival in camp, Ant and Dec told Gemma and Craig that they would be facing the dreaded eating trial, before splitting to join separate camps.

For the trial, Craig and Gemma privately decided how many servings of dishes such as Fish Eye Pie, Terror-rine, Brain Freeze, and Bloody Moory Shots they are willing to eat or drink.

The player who committed to the highest number of servings had to consume the entire pledged amount to win a point for their team.

Shocked by the sight of the spread, Craig asked: 'Have you ramped this up because it doesn't look that bad on the telly?'

It was a closely-fought race, with Gemma struggling to stomach some of the dishes, but as they headed to the final round, it was a head-to-head race to see whether she or Craig could finish a whole tray of Bloody Moory shots.

The episode ended on a cliffhanger with Craig and Gemma about to begin, but fans were full of praise for the TOWIE star following her return.
