Gemma Collins has revealed she is trying Slimming World in a bid to lose weight after struggling for years due to hormone imbalance. 

The former Towie star, 41, opened up about her latest diet after battling to keep her weight down for years due to her health issues. 

She told The Sun: ‘I have joined Slimming World. I am always up against it because I have got a thyroid problem, polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin problem. You name it.

‘I have got such a hormone imbalance. It is a constant battle. But at 41 I love myself and if that offends anyone I am sorry but I don’t give a s**t.’

While she has joined the new plan, The GC confirmed that she loves herself at any size, adding: ‘My weight goes up and down, it’s a constant battle for me.

‘Do I feel great in myself? Yeah. Am I continuing to try and lose weight, get it down and keep it stable? Yeah. It is something is am always going to struggle with.’

Gemma revealed that she found the classes ‘welcoming’ and hopes that it will be the thing that helps her stick to her plan and not succumb to temptation over the Christmas period. 

She added: ‘It is always a constant battle but I have just learnt to love myself. It’s my health that I worry about. I am always trying to lose weight to get it stable.’

Gemma had told fans she had lost three and a half stone in weight earlier in the year after overhauling her health and fitness regime, as she shared her progress with her followers. 

Conditions Gemma has, including polycystic ovaries and issues with the thyroid, can make a person more susceptible to weight gain.
