EXCLUSIVE: TOWIE legend Gemma Collins revealed she is eyeing up her soap debut as she talks about joining the BBC soap and bringing much-needed glamour to Albert Square

TOWIE icon Gemma Collins is eyeing up a role on EastEnders as she vows to give the BBC cast a "run for their money".

Daily Star caught up with Gemma Collins, who has teamed up with Baileys this season to bring the joy back to Christmas - one festive carol and indulgent sip at a time. The reality TV legend, 34, spoke exclusively to Daily Star as she collaborated with Baileys

The reality TV legend, who recently earned £1,000-per-second with one job, spoke exclusively to Daily Star about her upcoming TV plans and said she wouldn't rule out a stint on Albert Square. Gemma said: "I never say never, hun!

"If the right role came along, I’d absolutely consider it. I love bringing a bit of glamour and fun wherever I go. So, who knows? Maybe one day I’ll be strutting down Albert Square, giving everyone a run for their money."

When speaking about past and present TV opportunities, she added: "Let’s just say I’m quite selective these days. I’ve learned to trust my gut. If something doesn’t feel right, I’ll pass. Life’s too short to say yes to things that don’t light you up. No major regrets though - every experience has taught me something."

Gemma has teamed up with Baileys over the festive period and shared her love for the boozy beverage. The star added: "One of my favourite memories is simply curling up with friends, popping on some festive tunes, and raising a Baileys toast to the good times. It’s all about savouring the season, not overdoing it.

"While Baileys is a must-have treat, I’m also big on a proper Christmas movie marathon. There’s something about that magical combination of laughter, twinkling lights, and a classic film that really puts me in the holiday spirit."

Gemma also shared some festive blunders she's suffered from over the years after getting into some kitchen chaos on the big day. The Celebrity Big Brother star recalled: "Oh goodness, who hasn’t had a few mishaps?

"One year I got so carried away singing Christmas songs that I completely forgot the potatoes in the oven. Let’s just say we had extra-crispy roasties that year! But honestly, these little blunders become part of the Christmas charm, don’t they?"
