Gemma Collins hints she’s launching a pop career to rival Mariah Carey as she stuns at new drink launch

REALITY superstar Gemma Collins has told how she’s launching a pop career and even believes she can give Mariah Carey a run for her money.

In the thirty years since the release of the 1994 classic, All I Want for Christmas, US megastar Mariah Carey has become the unrivalled queen of the festive season.

The 55-year-old's annual Christmas time tour of America, is now in its fourteenth year.

But now Essex’s Gemma Collins says that she’s ready to topple Mariah’s crown and become Britain's answer to the "Queen of Christmas."

The former TOWIE star has teamed up with alcohol brand Bailey’s to put the sweetness back into the season.

Earlier this week she attended the Bailey’s sip and sing launch in London, where she led the crowds in a Christmas carol sing-a-long, alongside the Gold Vocal collective choir.

Speaking about her new singing experience, the 43-year-old told The Sun:

“Oh hun, I was living my best life on that stage! Having The Gold Vocal Collective backing me and the crowd joining in - pure festive magic. I’m definitely feeling the buzz for more singing in 2025."

"If the people want a GC Christmas tour, who am I to say no? It’s all about bringing joy, and if singing
does that, I’m up for it!"

In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Gemma then revealed why the Bailey's brand is so close to her heart. 

“The Baileys Christmas Sip and Sing was the perfect start to the
festive season. I mean, who doesn’t love belting out those Christmas classics with a gorgeous Baileys choctail in hand?”

“It’s indulgent, creamy, and just puts me right in the holiday spirit. Baileys has been a part of my family’s Christmas celebrations for as long as I can remember - it's a family favourite.”

“ I’ve always adored Baileys - it’s a real treat when you want something special. I couldn’t resist the chance to bring everyone together for a bit of sparkle and song!”

Earlier this year, Gemma revealed that she’s been raking in millions from a lucrative side hustle away, from the reality TV studios.

The TV personality has been buying and selling properties alongside her husband-to-be, Rami Hawash.

The pair reportedly live in a £1.3 million house in Essex, but Gemma has told The Sun, she has no time for those envious naysayers.

She said: "Darling, if you worked as hard as me you could be in the same position as me."

"I didn’t get lucky, I worked extremely hard to get where I am. We can all manifest the GC lifestyle.

"Nobody gave me a pound, I did it all myself. I haven’t stopped working but I wouldn’t have it any other way."

After getting engaged earlier this year, after Rami staged a candlelit proposal in the Maldives, the couple are planning a lavish wedding ceremony for their family and friends.

She has also revealed plans to foster a child after several miscarriages and unsustainable pregnancies.

The Sun caught up with Gemma Collins, who has teamed up with Baileys this season to bring the joy back to Christmas - one festive carol and indulgent sip at a time.
