The 44-year-old reality star has endured a number of "stressful diets" over the years, but feels "a million dollars" since shedding two stone with weight loss injections. ‌ Gemma is now confident that she will no longer cost the taxpayer with any sort of "obesity-related illness" that may have come her way. She told The Mirror: "I've lost so much weight, you wouldn't believe it. It’s the only thing I’ve managed to lose weight on without putting myself on a stressful diet. It is a revolutionary, life-changing drug for people that are overweight. I feel so much happier in myself, I feel a million dollars. "I think I'm actually saving the NHS. I won’t be going to the NHS with an obesity-related illness so I won’t be putting any strain on it. I’m loving life, honey."

She said: "It’s just a shame I had to wait until I was 44 for this life-changing drug to come out because being overweight isn't good for your health, and it's just so lovely now that I have now been able to live like a normal person. "There’s no food noise anymore. I feel so much better and free as a person to concentrate on other stuff because I'm not constantly thinking about food." ‌ Gemma has been showing off her impressive weight loss And she admits it's still a slow and steady journey for her, not a race to drop the pounds. "I want to lose another 2 stone, this time I've done it super, super slow and I've not put any pressure on myself. I've followed it exactly how I needed to do it," she shared. Gemma also admitted the issue she is facing as she said: "All of my clothes are too big now, that’s the problem, I’m wearing everything oversized. As the weather gets warmer, I am just gonna start being able to wear tighter stuff and things like that, but I'm not quite there yet. ‌ "I'll put some pyjamas on and a nightie, and I'm like, ‘God, these are massive’. I can’t believe they used to fit me and now they’re hanging off.” The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star has been in the public eye for almost 15 years, but is now shocked by how she looks in pictures and is enjoying not being "obsessed" with her size anymore. She said: "Even when I go places and people take pictures of me, I’m like, ‘Wow. Is that really me?’ and I’m not asking them to angle the camera higher or anything to make myself look smaller.

It’s just slowly, slowly with me."
