Gemma Collins accused of breaking lockdown rules to spend the night with boyfriend James Argent
GEMMA Collins has been accused of breaking lockdown rules to spend the night with her boyfriend James Argent.
A source told the reality TV star was seen leaving Arg's house after she travelled 40 minutes to see him.
The couple have been living apart for the last seven weeks as Gemma filmed her ITVBe show Diva on Lockdown from home.
But she was spotted leaving at Arg's house on Saturday and again the next day.
An insider said: "Gemma parked her car down the street and in someone else's driveway to prevent people from seeing her but she still didn't go unnoticed.
"Arg lives at least 40 minutes from Gemma, so she's absolutely broken the government's rules to see him."
Gemma is isolating with her brother and his family, more than 30 miles from where Arg lives.
Since the UK went into lockdown last month, the UK government has banned the public from meeting friends or family outside of their household.
Gemma has urged fans to "stay home" amid the coronavirus lockdown, even admitting she'd had to miss her parents' wedding anniversary celebrations.
Meanwhile Arg shared a snap of himself kissing Gemma on Instagram on April 26, Arg said: "Lockdown absolutely sucks without you GC.
"But I understand you have to entertain the nation and put a smile on people's faces at this difficult time. #Imissyou #wellmeetagain."
Gemma's reality show Diva On Lockdown returned last week and was seen in tears as her dream home sale fell through.
The 39-year-old star sobbed in her car by the side of the road when she got the bad news.
The telly favourite returned to screens with an incredible opening episode filled with laughs.
But viewers got more than they bargained for with her roller coaster journey as she closed her Brentwood boutique thanks to the coronavirus pandemic - and then lost out on the house.
Before having to close her store, Gemma already admitted the coronavirus is having a big impact on her.
