Gemma Collins gives tell-all interview to Piers Morgan's Life Stories

Gemma Collins has given an explosive interview to \'Piers Morgan\'s Life Stories\'.

The 39-year-old TV star has revealed new details about her on-off with James \'Arg\' Argent as part of her tell-all interview with the \'Good Morning Britain\' host.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "It was an emotional rollercoaster and Gemma opened up to him about deeply personal subjects, including how toxic her relationship with Arg had become and some exes who were abusive to her.

"It was a cathartic experience, though, and she\'s proud of how far she\'s come."

Gemma will become the first former star of \'The Only Way Is Essex\' to appear on \'Life Stories\', after spending several hours filming the episode with Piers on Friday (18.09.20).

In August, meanwhile, Gemma claimed Arg\'s mum put a "strain" on their relationship.

The TV star split from Arg earlier this year and subsequently admitted she\'s also pleased that his mum Patricia is no longer a prominent figure in her life.

Gemma - who first appeared on \'The Only Way Is Essex\' back in 2011 - said: "I\'ve always got on really well with my partner\'s families. There was a problem with the last one because she\'d always come knocking at the house and we never had time alone.

"That I found a little bit difficult. Like, every day down the house. I feel it did put a strain on our relationship."
