Gemma Collins has been seen out and about in Mayfair, snuggled under the arm of a mystery man.
The ex The Only Way is Essex star looked in high spirits as she walked along the street, laughing and smiling, with her unidentified pal alongside her.
This comes as the TV personality last month played down rumours of a reunion with her ex-fiancé Rami Hawash, following her split from on-off Towie boyfriend James Argent.
Rami and Gemma became engaged in 2013, before splitting the following year.
After gossip swirled that the pair were back together, the GC stepped in to confirm it was ‘nothing serious’ and that they ‘weren’t properly dating’.
Talking to The Sun, Gemma clarified: ‘We’re just friends and we occasionally go out for dinner. It isn’t serious, it’s fun.’
And it seems she now has another friend to go out to dinner with as she strolled along with her mystery man, giggling and leaning into him.
Gemma kept things classic in a belted and long-sleeved cream wrap dress, which she accessorised with a Louis Vuitton clutch, beige flatform slides and bright pink nails.
Her friend was casually dressed in a black T-shirt, black trainers and ripped, blue denim jeans.
As they walked past restaurants, they were clearly comfortable in each other’s company as they put on a tactile display.
Her bright mood was in contrast with just a few weeks ago, when the former Dancing on Ice contestant fell ‘very poorly’ with a mystery illness and was hooked up to a drip at home.
But the star soon bounced back, making time to share an encouraging body positivity message as she wore a black fringed bikini and spent time around the pool at her swanky new Essex mansion, insisting ‘everyone is beautiful in their own way’.
As the sun shone, Gemma implored her fans to ‘love yourself’, and continued: ‘We’ve got to be free and just be you – don’t copy the trends on Instagram, don’t think “Oh my god I need a six pack”. Do it for health reasons if you are going to do it.’
As the GC continues on her own fitness kick this year, she’s picked up supporters including Joe Wicks, who wished her luck and called her journey ‘inspiring’.
