Gemma Collins, 44, is reportedly preparing to leave her £2M Essex mansion as she sets her sights on a new life in Dubai. The Only Way Is Essex star joins a growing number of British reality personalities relocating to the United Arab Emirates in search of fresh opportunities.
The TV star recently shared a post from Dubai, writing:
«If you can dream it, you can do it in Dubai. Dubai is a place of positivity, a place of making dreams come true.»
Viewing Homes Abroad
Gemma is currently viewing villas in popular areas such as Dubai Hills and the Marina. While she remains close to her family, they are supportive of her decision to pursue new opportunities abroad. Dubai is seen as a place where Gemma could advance her career, improve her health, and raise a family safely with access to top schools.
The insider noted that she had previously considered relocating to the Cotswolds, but sees Dubai as «the hot new place to be,» inspired in part by former Towie co-stars such as Joey Essex, Yazmin Oukhellou, Amber Turner, Dawn Ward, and Sam Faiers, who have found success splitting their time between the UK and Dubai.
Career and Lifestyle Opportunities
Gemma’s move is expected to be financially beneficial, offering new avenues for her TV, social media, and influencer work.
This decision comes after a major lifestyle change, including significant weight loss. Gemma has dropped from a UK size 26 to a size 20 after starting the NHS-approved Mounjaro weight loss treatment last November. She has credited the injections with helping her manage food cravings and improve overall wellbeing.
