Gemma Collins eyes up Eastenders role as she considers career change

Gemma Collins has revealed that she would like to land a part on Eastenders in her next dream role as landlady of The Queen Vic.

The reality star shared her love for the East End soap – located not far from her Essex roots – on the latest episode of The Gemma Collins podcast, after a fan asked if she wanted to star in Coronation Street.

“I do love the cobbled streets but I’m an EastEnders girl,” Gemma replied, before highlighting one fault she had with the show.

“They should never have got rid of Roxy and Ronnie – I was their soul sister.

“I wouldn’t do Corrie, and I don’t have a northern accent, but I would do EastEnders.

“‘Get out of my pub!’” she recited the famous catchphrase on the show spoken by former landlady, Peggy Mitchell.

Gemma added her thoughts on re-jigging the cast also, to make way for her starring role to-be.

“I would throw out Mick and Linda Carter. They would be gone. Ian Beale would be gone.

“I would be the landlady of the Queen Vic.”

The 40-year-old continued to dream up how her time would be spent on the show, saying that she would be “best mates” with Sharon Watts and have a side hustle on the market.

Elsewhere on the podcast episode, Gemma discussed her life at home and how she hopes to grow her family with a pet pooch.

“At 40-years-old I have my home now, I feel a bit grown up and I know I can be more than responsible to look after an animal,” she said.

“I think that is what is so important when considering getting an animal.

"Now that I'm feeling settled, I've got my partner, I've got my home, I really miss having animals in my house."

Gemma opened up about her wish to adopt a dog and spoil it as if it were her own child.

“For me, getting a dog is probably as big as deciding to get married.

“I was even thinking about getting a fancy dog home built in my garden with doggy tv, doggy massage, even a doggy parlour – anything my dog wants, the dog is going to be treated like a child.

"I've been weighing up this decision for about a year-and-a-half now,” she added.

“Part of me goes that I can give a dog and cat a lovely home. I would love to have a whole garden of rescue animals. That is my lifelong dream.”
