Gemma Collins fears for Love Island contestants

Gemma Collins is "not really into ‘Love Island’" because she worries about the Islanders’ emotional state.
The 38-year-old star is no stranger to reality TV but admits she is "one of the lucky ones" because she can "cope" with being in the public eye, but she fears for the current batch of contestants in the villa, and admits she is only tuning into the ITV2 dating show because she is a big fan of Tommy Fury, whose brother is boxer Tyson Fury.
Speaking at the Heart Dance launch event, she said: "I’m only watching ‘Love Island’ because of Tommy Fury.
"I’m a big fan of his brother the boxer but literally, yeah, to be honest, I’m not really into ‘Love Island’ just because I think you know I do watch the show, I love it, like everyone else, but you know, some of the games they play on there that are set up for them to do, I just feel that it could be a little bit tough on them to be honest.
"I worry about them because you know I’ve been in the reality realm myself and I have been one of the lucky ones that can cope with it.
"But, yeah, some of the things I see that they have to do on there, I’m little bit like, ‘These are people’s emotions guys.’ "
Gemma showed off her recent weight loss at the event, and insisted she will not accept people treating her differently no matter how she looks because "no one should be judged".
She said: "No one will ever treat me differently [due to weight loss] at the end of the day accept me as I am or turn the other way. I’m not interested. You know we’re all different shapes and sizes.
"Defining someone through their shape and size, it’s not just for plus size girls it’s for slimmer girls as well.
"No one should be judged. We’re living in a world now where it’s totally free. Just be who you wanna be. Radiate positivity, energy. Think good thoughts and everything comes to you."
As well as radiating positive energy, Gemma believes if everyone was on the same spiritual "higher vibration" as her they could "achieve and be who they want to be".
She added: "I’m an Aquarian but I’m very, very into a higher vibration. I’m into the universe and I have a different thought process to most people but if everyone thought like me they can achieve and be who they wanna be. But not everyone’s open to it but yeah I just radiate on a higher vibration spiritually yeah."
