Gemma Collins’ best pal Saffron Lempriere joins Towie as stars film next series
TOWIE diva Gemma Collins is to star alongside her best pal Saffron Lempriere as she starts filming the next series.
Saffron impressed show bosses in what was supposed to be a one-off scene with the 37-year-old GC.
She's already set to play a big part in Gemma's new reality show Diva Espana, but now Towie producers think she'd be great as a full-time cast member.
A source told The Sun Online: "Gemma's best mate Saffron will appear a lot in new show Diva Espana so it felt natural to welcome her into the Towie family.
"She filmed a scene with Gemma and the other cast members today.
"Although it was a one off, she was a natural and she is absolutely hilarious, just like Gemma.
"There is a chance she'll appear on the show again and it could become a more regular thing because of her friendship with Gemma. Watch this space!"
Yesterday Gemma donned a skintight swimsuit to give fans a sneak peak of her new solo show.
She could been seen giving the camera a sultry stare in a series of promotional shots, as she gets ready unleash her ITVBe series.
Diva Espana focuses on the self-professed Queen of Essex showbiz life and what she gets up to during the day.
In today's new snaps, she is seen in a black swimsuit, giving serious eyes to the camera as she takes a dip in a pool.
The reality babe is also seen in a pink dress and blowing kisses to the camera.
Gemma announced she was making “one hell of a show” back in June when she posted a Nicole Polizzi quote about wanting a reality TV show in 10 years time.
The Towie star, who recently released her debut book How To Be A Diva, captioned the shot: “So excited to tell you all I am filming for my own reality show.
“I’m so humbled and so so grateful to finally fulfil my dream I had when I first started out… Today is the day where I can announce I am filming for my own reality show.
“DREAMS do come TRUE. It’s going to be one hell of a show!”
You can catch the show next Wednesday (August 29, 2018) at 9pm on ITVBe.
