Gemma Collins slams ‘boring’ plus-sized fashion on This Morning
Former TOWIE star annoyed fuller figured women don't get the same options as others when it comes to fashion
GEMMA Collins has hit out at the plus-sized fashion industry for failing to increase the amount of options available to fuller figured women.
The former TOWIE star is known for her curvaceous figure, and despite losing weight herself in the last few months, she still feels passionately about plus-sized clothing.
Hosting a fashion segment on Tuesday's This Morning, Gemma revealed to Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes exactly what the problem is.
She said: "I speak to women every day and they come to me and say ‘Gemma, we want the high street trends but as plus sized women we are just not getting it.'
"What I feel really passionate about as a plus size girl myself is getting these fashion forward pieces into the curve collections and letting everyone know."

The 35-year-old then revealed three key dresses for fuller figures which retail under £75, but when Ruth asked one of the real life models if she struggled to find options on the high street, Gemma couldn't help but chip in.
She continued: "They need to listen Ruth, we want the on trend pieces, we shouldn’t be saying that curvier girls can’t have on trend pieces."
After showing off the third and final outfit she had put together, Gemma explained how a lot of retailers have increased their sizes up to a 32, but feels they are missing the point of what her peers are looking for.
She said: "My message to everyone out there is that style shouldn’t have a size any more.
"Saying plus size and going on about size is boring, it should just be ‘this is a dress and it comes in'…you know it shouldn’t be an issue.
"That’s what fashion for plus sized women, going forward, really needs to be."
Gemma spoke to The Sun in June about her own plus-sized clothing range, the Gemma Collins Collection, revealing: "I have been so hands on with both designing and choosing every single piece of the range. I am offering curvy ladies of the UK and beyond a new vision and choice for the summer.
"My collection is designed to make ladies look and feel amazing and I really hope my passion for plus size fashion shows with my brand new range."
