Gemma Collins is completely loved up with her new fiancee Rami Hawash.
Despite rumours that the couple have been engaged for a while, Rami only got down on one knee last month to ask The Only Way is Essex star the big question. Sitting down with The Mirror and OK! magazine to discuss their engagement for the first time, Gemma said they’ve been “living in a bubble” ever since the Maldives engagement.
So much so, Gemma revealed she can’t actually bear to sleep in their shared bed – or the “marital boudoir”, as she calls it – when he’s not there. Instead, she has her own bedroom in their Chelmsford home which she sleeps in when Remi is away with with. She describes it as entirely pink with a life-sized gorilla and plush velvet accessories.
She tells us: “I have my own private bedroom and it’s just fabulous. If ever we have a night apart I never sleep in our bed, I’ll go to my pink one.”
Gemma’s lavish taste will come as no surprise to TOWIE fans, and sounds like her wedding dress might also be Essex-inspired.
The reality TV legend, who also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, is hoping for THREE weddings. She tells us: “The main one will be somewhere fabulous in the UK, the second maybe abroad, and the third will be the formal one for our closest friends and family.”
And of course three weddings means three dresses. “I would love something similar to the lace one Lady Gaga wore in House Of Gucci,” says Gemma.
“I might even go back to my roots and wear something really Essex-like and over the top. At the moment I’m thinking something Italian-themed, then a ‘wow’ one with a huge train. I might even recreate Victoria Beckham’s wedding moment with the tiara, I loved that.”
Gemma also hints that we might get to see their big day in full as they could let TV cameras inside. And we really hope that’s the case, as Gemma wants DJ Fat Tony to perform and joked that Jedward may walk her down the aisle. “They are my dog’s godfathers, after all. They’re honestly like family to me, I adore them.”
Rami adds: “Jedward are like our kids and they’re so good to Tristan. They’re part of our family now.”
When it comes to the guestlist, Gemma says all of her old TOWIE castmates can be there as there is “no bad blood”.
