Gemma Collins goes wedding dress shopping and buys dreamy gown

It might be Gemma Collins’s 39th birthday but it looks like she’s got another big day on her mind as The GC was spotted wedding dress shopping.

The reality star was seen at a wedding dress boutique in Chelmsford, Essex, and was photograohed trying on a lace dress with a long veil.

Gemma complemented the stunning look with a tiara (because, duh, every queen needs her crown) and clearly liked the dress so much she bought it, and was seen carrying it out of the shop in a dress bag.

There’s no doubting Gemma is a vision in the wedding dress, claimed to cost £1,650, but here’s hoping whoever she is going to walk down the aisle with doesn’t spot her in it before a future big day.

Gemma shared a photo from her shopping trip on Instagram, telling fans: ‘Can you all guess where I have been this week – every girl’s dream!’

However, it looks like we may have to wait a while to see Gemma say ‘I do’ in the dress, as a source told MailOnline: ‘Gemma isn’t engaged – she’s still with James [Argent] but he hasn’t proposed.

‘She was at the store with some of her team trying on dresses and having professional photographs taken.

‘Naturally Gemma loved every moment and had such a fun time getting wedding ready. It’s thought that Gemma’s visit will feature on the second series of her reality show Diva Forever but she’s keen to keep details under wraps for now.’

Gemma’s on-off boyfriend James Argent has reportedly been completing treatment for ‘recent addiction issues and weight loss’, according to The Sun, after he was ‘rushed to hospital’ last year.

While they may not be tying the knot just yet, when it does come to walking down the aisle, Gemma has big plans.

She revealed at the start of the year: ‘If [the proposal] were to come, of course I’d say yes. I’d like a big wedding.

‘I want to get married at The Dorchester hotel in London, then fly to Sicily for the honeymoon – but he’s got to buy the big yellow rock first,’ she told Closer. ‘Until I get a big £250k or half-a-million yellow diamond, I ain’t settling with anybody!’
