Gemma Collins' US dream was dealt huge blow when agent died

Gemma Collins\' dreams of making it in the US were dealt a huge blow when her agent died.

The 39-year-old star was in talks to star on American weight-loss show \'The Biggest Loser\' thanks to her US agent, but he sadly passed away just six weeks after she signed a contract with him, and everything fell through.

Speaking on \'The Gemma Collins Podcast\', she said: "We had a great meeting, he looked me in the eyes, he went, \'Gemma - you\'re a star, and I will make you a star in America\'.

But the \'Diva Forever\' star hasn\'t given up hope, as she still believes another job in the US will pop up again.

She added: "So I did have a little taste of a job in America and feel it\'s something that might come again."
