I dance NAKED in my garden every morning – I love it, says slimmer than ever Gemma Collins
GEMMA Collins has revealed a vital part of her daily morning routine - dancing naked in her back garden.
The reality star, 41, said running around the lawn of her £1.3million mansion in the nude is "so liberating" and makes her feel "at one with nature".
Speaking on an episode of the BBC panel show Would I Lie to You?, which is yet to air, Gemma said: "I love to dance naked in my back garden. I do it every morning.
"It makes me feel at one with nature. It's so liberating.
"I love the feeling of the grass under my feet."

When asked whether she worries about her neighbours seeing her in the nude, she said she planted 100 trees to block their view.
Gemma also told how a giant elephant statue, given to her after she donated £22,000 to a charity for the animals in India, also helps give her privacy during her garden strip.
Later, the former TOWIE legend revealed how she relieves stress by wrapping her arms around trees - another way she connects with nature.
"Whenever I get stressed, I hug a tree," she said. "It's all about the energy.
"It makes me feel grounded. I like a good 20 minutes with a tree."

But when questioned if she gets the same feeling hugging a dead one, she said: "No, it has to be alive."
Gemma moved into her £1.3m glass-fronted Essex mansion in 2020.
It boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, a vast open-plan kitchen - and a stunning back garden which she previously described as "Costa del GC".
