Gemma Collins shows off her curves in summer dress after lockdown weight loss
GEMMA Collins has showed off her curves in a summer dress after losing weight in lockdown.
The 39-year-old showed off one of her own designs, with the caption: "Mustard with that fillet."
She has been sharing her weight loss journey this week with throwback pictures as she opened up about her struggles.
The Towie star bravely opening up about her battle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that caused her to gain weight after her 20s.
Gemma looked almost unrecognisable in the old snaps, which sparked the conversation with her 1.8 million followers about suffering from PCOS.
Gemma previously spoke out about her shrinking frame, telling fans that her "secret" to losing three stone is down to keeping up with her weight loss injections.
What is polycystic ovary syndrome?
POLYCYSTIC ovary syndrome affects one in five women and has an impact on how ovaries function.
According to the NHS, symptoms will often be experienced in early twenties or late teens and one of the symptoms is weight gain.
Sufferers can struggle to release an egg to be fertilised making it often extremely difficult to fall pregnant.
For many, the only hint of PCOS is irregular periods, while in more severe cases sufferers can be left with embarrassing hair growth on their faces, chest, back and backside.
Having polycystic ovaries also increases a woman's chance of developing type 2 diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and sleep apnoea later in life, the NHS warned.
Last year, The Sun Online exclusively revealed The GC was on a new weight loss plan , which are injections that act as an appetite suppressant.
Despite the temptation of ditching her diet and slacking on exercise, Gemma has maintained her weight loss - and fans have been desperate to know how.
"Lots of you been asking me how I am looking so good," Gemma said today.
"I need to tell about how amazing the team at Skinny Jab have been throughout lockdown.
"I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had those days over these past month where we’ve felt very low with no motivation to do anything.

"But keeping on track of my weight loss and continuing to stay motivated has never been easier with skinny jab on board.
"Honestly, Caroline and her team have been the best support! Not only have they kept my supply of jabs up to date, they’ve also been providing me with meals plans and weekly check ups with how I’m getting on."
