Gemma Collins pictured partying with jailbird ex-boyfriend Stephen Mortimer as he’s released from prison after serving a year for burglary
GEMMA Collins has been pictured partying with her jailbird ex-boyfriend Stephen Mortimer following his release from prison.
The Towie star snuggled up to her former lover as they spent the night clubbing last week in Canterbury, Kent.
Stephen was jailed for two years in October 2016 for stealing jewellery in a home raid, just months after he had split from the reality TV favourite.
Gemma’s ex Stephen Mortimer has had a fair few brushes with the law, and was famously sent back to jail in January last year, while the star was in Celebrity Big Brother.
He had allegedly breached licence terms by moving in with the CBB star at the time.
Mortimer had previously spent two years in prison for grievous bodily harm (GBH).
At the time he told The Sun: “I'm upset I can't be there as she walks out of the CBB house but I've waited for her, she can wait two weeks for me!”
But just a month after she left the CBB house, Gemma revealed she had split from him, amid reports he had cheated on her with a young mum called Rebecca Smith.
Rebecca told The Sun how he had cheated on Gemma, saying: “He is desperate to be famous and is only using Gemma for her celebrity status. I was devastated to find out that he was two-timing us. I feel used.”
Addressing his cheating, Gemma broke down in tears during an appearance on Loose Women, she said: “I don't want to talk about it.

“I came out of the house and it's just so embarrassing. Obviously the situation has happened but I'm not ready to talk about it. I can't deal with it.”
But it seems Gemma – who has once again become an internet sensation after falling down a hole on stage at the Teen Awards - has put any issues she might have with him behind her as they enjoyed each other’s company last week.
The 36-year-old is currently single, but recently revealed she is determined to have a baby, even if she doesn’t meet Mr Right.
She said earlier this year: “If I don't ever meet that man, I will go on to have a baby on my own.
“I think I have a lot of love to give. I would never rule out adoption, there's so much availability and people that can help you.”
