Gemma Collins called police on abusive boyfriend


Gemma Collins called the police after her boyfriend assaulted her.

The 33-year-old television personality contacted the police after her boyfriend Alexander Moss allegedly "beat her up" at her home in Brentwood, Essex on Saturday evening (08.11.14).

A source close to Gemma – who is rumoured to be appearing in ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ later this month – revealed that the star had been physically attacked and her home had been ruined during the incident.

The insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Gemma was gearing up to fly to the jungle when the incident happened. She was preparing to go to the jungle as a single girl. But she had an argument with Alex and he flew off the handle.

"She is not in a good way and has been badly hurt and her house has been smashed up. The police were called.

"Gemma has known Alex for a long time, they are very close but she is deeply hurt and distressed."

According to the newspaper, a spokesman for the Essex police confirmed that an incident had taken place.

A statement said: "Officers went to the location and the victim was assessed by ­ambulance paramedics but did not need hospital treatment."

Moss has been in trouble with the police before, and he was jailed in 2012 for conspiracy to supply cocaine.

Gemma – who first met Moss while she was in the 20s – reportedly thought he was a changed man since being in prison.

The source said: "Gemma had given Alex a second chance and he had convinced her he was a reformed character – she really believed that he had changed."
