Gemma Collins turns down SAS Who Dares Wins because army boots aren’t her style

Gemma Collins has reportedly turned down the chance to star in the new line-up of Celebrity SAS: Who Dare Wins.

The former TOWIE star, 39, has been a big hit on TV programmes like CelebrityBig Brother, and Dancing On Ice not to mention as a leading star of TOWIE which sparked her solo show Diva Forever.

The GC was said to have been targeted by bosses of the gruelling Channel 4 show after her three stone weight loss.

But it is claimed she has declined to appear on Celebrity SAS because she “hasn’t got time” and doesn’t think “army boots are camouflage are her style”.

A source told The Sun Online: “Channel 4 have been desperate to sign Gemma up for the next series as they know she would pull the viewers in and be a ratings hit.

“They wanted her so much they asked, ‘what will it take?’ She’s been inundated with television offers since the success of her own reality TV show Diva, and is already struggling to have a day off.

“SAS: Who Dares Wins is completely out of Gemma’s comfort zone but she’s TV gold and show bosses know that she’s at the top of everyone’s wish list right now when it comes to reality TV… after all, she is the GC.

The source added the GC “simply hasn’t got the time” and “doesn’t think camouflage and army boots are quite her style anyway”

Former TOWIE co-star Joey Essex took part in the last series of the show alongside Katie Price and Brendan Cole.

British Paralympic athlete Lauren Steadman and DJ Leon “Locksmith” Rolle won the show.

Gemma Collins is dating a millionaire after splitting from TOWIE’s James ‘Arg’ Argent in July, it was claimed earlier this month.

The Essex native, 39, is said to be happily dating wealthy businessman Nadir Gul and despite it being early days Gemma has told pals he is her “dream man.”

Gemma was left heartbroken a few months back amid allegations that her ex James Argent requested they open up their relationship to include other people.

He then sent a string of abusive messages to Gemma, which she subsequently shared online.

Savage texts revealed Arg called Gemma a “hippo” and a “fat f**k” after she confronted him about buying another woman dinner.

Arg wrote: “You are supposed to be treating me you hippo.”
