In a series of short videos posted to her Stories, the GC documented herself cooking the pork-packed skewers on her coal barbeque in her new Essex abode.

Recently, the Diva Forever star has been showcasing her incredible three stone weight loss, revealing she owes her new look to a healthy diet and strict fitness regime.

The ITV darling's mouth-watering dinner comes as her ex Arg, 33, recovers from his life-saving gastric band surgery.

The former Towie star revealed he can't eat solid food for six weeks, instead swapping his favourite pizza and chocolate for liquid meals such as shakes and juices.

Arg must inject himself daily into his stomach and revealed that even water and paracetamol are a struggle to keep down since the surgery.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, the reality TV star said: "Just dealing with trapped wind is really uncomfortable.

"They encouraged me to keep burping to get wind out, but you can’t even fart."

Arg and Gemma suffered another bitter split last year due to his drug addiction, with Arg telling us that he is "completely single at the moment".

The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday that Arg has had a gastric op to help him lose 12 stone after doctors warned he was "so fat he could die".

Now Arg is focusing on himself, sharing: "I want to put my health first, that’s number one.

"The most important thing is to remain clean and sober.

“I’ve been clean and sober for a year and three months now. I feel I’m ready to tackle my weight."
