Gemma Collins tells fans ‘once a cheater always a cheater’ saying she dumps anyone who lies to her
GEMMA Collins told fans "once a cheater always a cheater" saying she dumps anyone who lies to her.
The Towie star, 39, stressed the importance of trust in relationships in her latest BBC podcast, Love Lounge.
However, Gemma didn't drag any of her exes into the statement - saying she has "never really been lied to".
The GC said: "Honesty is definitely important to a relationship, but what I think is more important is being honest about how you feel all the time and how your partner is making you feel."
She added: "I've never really been lied to in a relationship - I always made it clear that you need to keep it honest.
"I have never lied in a relationship either. Sometimes it can be a bit of hard blow but no one can argue with the truth.
"If you allow it once, it will happen again. Once a cheater always a cheater."
Gemma split with James 'Arg' Argent earlier this year, after he told her he wanted an open relationship and cruelly branded her a "hippo" in a text.
Speaking to The Sun Online, a source explained: "Arg went to Spain and he told Gemma that he wants to go back there forever and be in an open relationship like Jada and Will.
"Gemma is completely shocked and has been left absolutely heartbroken, especially after sticking by him for so long.”
Gemma had stuck by Arg throughout his drugs and alcohol battle and was eager for them to start a family together before their split.
Before then she has been in a relationship with Laurence Hearn - who she met on the 2018 season of Celebs Go Dating - and jailbird Stephen Mortimer in 2015.
The reality star has since found love once again - with businessman Nadir Gul.
They already had friends in common but had never before been romantically linked.

A source said: “Gemma’s had a really tough time since her split with Arg but Nadir, who owns a pair of restaurants in Essex, has put a massive smile on her face.
“He has asked her out on a date and seems smitten with her. The GC has been telling people Nadir is her dream man and said she finds him drop-dead gorgeous.
“It’s still early days for them but her friends are just pleased to see her happy and smiling again.
“Gemma is an independent woman but she has longed to find the right man and settle down properly.
“She can see a future with Nadir — she feels like she has been dreaming of this for so long.”
