Gemma Collins donates bags of bras to charity after feeling guilty about £1,450 splurge at Salt Bae’s London restaurant
GEMMA Collins revealed she was so shocked at paying £1,450 for Salt Bae’s famous steak that she donated a bag of bras to charity.
The former Towie star, 40, dined at the opening of the Instagram sensation's new Knightsbridge restaurant last week.
But the self-confessed diva was left gobsmacked when she received the bill at the end of the night and felt guilty about splurging big cash on dinner.
Speaking on , she said: "I have to give the ambience of the restaurant, the experience, a 10 out of 10.
"The bill was another situation, I was in utter shock. But you have to weigh these things up, the press reported that my steak cost £700, if only they knew.
"I wish it cost £700. It actually cost £1,450."
To assuage her guilt she decided to give back to society and donated some of her bras to charity.

"I felt a bit sick. It was an amazing experience, and to be honest I would have paid that to meet him anyway, because I love him. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity," she said.
"But I started to feel really bad the next day because I was like, 'Oh my gosh, there's people starving in the world'.
"I just started feeling really bad about it all, so I was like, 'Right, what can I do?'"
Gemma revealed she wanted to "give some good back to the universe" and her friend convinced her to donate her bras.
"It really started playing on my mind, so I instantly went and I started to clear out every single bra that I owned," she said.
"Literally, I sent four bags of really nice bras to the charity. So I feel like I've done my thing."
Gemma attended the London hotspot with boyfriend Rami Hawash, 45, and his son Tristan, three.
She said they would not be eating out again after their recent dinner splurge and she was happy with Rami dishing up her food.
"I love Rami's steaks the most and I'm going to treat him and me to some gold foil off the internet for £4.99," she said.
Gemma left fans drooling with Instagram Stories of their night at Nusr-Et Steakhouse and Salt Bae actually serving their dinner.
She whipped out her camera and snapped videos and pics of the Turkish chef - real name Nusret Gökçe - preparing a 24k Golden Tomahawk steak.
The diva captioned her shots: "When the GC meets …. @nusr_et YEAH BABY bring me that salt action 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #nusret #saltbae ...
"This guy 🙌🏻 the most amazing energy 💫 he’s presence is electric and fun and defo one to go visit @nusr_et 💫"
The night out comes after Gemma told us she is in no rush to become a mum - because she’s already a step-mum to Tristan.
"Being a mum is going to happen," she told The Sun.
"But you have got to keep doing it [having sex].
"Mentally I have done what I have wanted to do.
"I am in a fortunate position now where I can pick and choose. I have done the graft and I do what I want to do now."
Asked if Rami will be a good dad, she said: "Amazing. He has got a son already... so I am a step-mum.
"We are very very happy. We are busy working all the time, but this is it now."
Gemma and Rami first dated in 2011, enjoying an on/off romance for three years before splitting in 2014.
They got engaged in 2013 when he proposed by hiding a diamond ring in a Christmas pudding.
