Towie star Gemma Collins is ‘overjoyed’ at being reunited with ex-boyfriend and personal trainer Charlie King as he helps her ‘tone up’
The couple were spotted heading to a gym in Essex yesterday as Charlie made his return to the reality show
GEMMA Collins has told pals she’s “overjoyed” that ex-boyfriend Charlie King is back filming on the show.
The former couple were reunited yesterday during shooting in Essex where Charlie is training Gemma.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “Gemma is overjoyed to have Charlie on board to help her shift a few pounds as she starts to prep her summer body.
“They are really good pals and this is definitely a new leaf for the both of them.”
Charlie was spotted yesterday at a gym walking alongside the blonde beauty as they prepared to start training.
The couple, who dated before Charlie revealed he was gay, were pictured filming new scenes for The Only Way Is Essex.
Charlie’s return to the show was exclusively revealed by The Sun’s Bizarre column in December.
A source close to the star revealed: “Charlie has big plans with his personal training business and in talks with Towie to make a return.
“He still has a great relationship with the cast and they would love to welcome him back.”
Charlie quit the show in 2013 after rows with his best pal Bobby Norris played out on screen — but the star hasn’t drifted into the background during his absence.
