Gemma Collins kicked off the new year with a splash — and a stylish one at that. On January 5, 2026, the former "TOWIE" star took to Instagram to share a glamorous new snap of herself enjoying some well-earned downtime at a luxury London spa.

Dressed in a chic two-toned cut-out swimsuit, Collins posed confidently at the edge of a bubbling pool inside the Jumeirah Carlton Tower, a favourite getaway of hers in the capital.

The eye-catching ensemble featured a strapless tan top, a sheer mesh panel at the waist, and high-waisted white bottoms — all brought together by three gold starfish embellishments that ran down the centre.

Her platinum blonde hair hung loose around her shoulders as she struck a serene pose, gazing into the distance.

She captioned the post, "Januarys VIBE R and R and lots of water !!! @jumeirahcarltontower GCx My favorite hotel always to stay for a london VACAY ! X Manifesting a swim wear range for 2026 ! X"

The post was met with a wave of support and compliments, with many praising Collins for both her confidence and choice of swimwear. One person typed, "Omg just love that swim suit looking gorgeous 😍xx."

Another said, "Loving the swim wear, you look absolutely stunning." Someone else commented simply, "Mermaid😍," and another fan added, "Sexy chics 🔥🔥🔥🔥." One admirer was eager to know where they could get the look for themselves, asking, "Hot damn!!! Where's the costume from? 🔥🔥🔥"

Collins's decision to share the sizzling snap came just months after she opened up about her evolving relationship with her body and food.

Speaking in October 2025 at the launch of Paddy Power and The Hippodrome Casino's Paddy's Sportsbook, the 42-year-old revealed that she had lost more than three stone since beginning NHS-approved Mounjaro weight-loss injections in late 2024.

Despite the physical transformation, Collins made it clear that becoming thin was never the goal. After years of struggling with weight fluctuations and being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at 28, she said the jabs had helped her shift focus from appearance to overall health.

"For me, taking the jab is more about helping me not to fixate on food," she explained. "I actually only eat once a day now and don't snack. I used to fascinate about food all day, but now it's not a major player in my life anymore, I've forgotten all about it."

She went on to say, "If I get a bit hungry, I'll have something to eat, but it's just about making smarter choices. The jabs aren't for everyone but it's a life changing drug for some people if it's taken correctly and not abused. It has helped me a lot."

Known for her candid nature and love of glam, Collins has long championed body confidence — with or without weight loss. Months before she began using Mounjaro, she proudly flaunted her figure in a bikini while holidaying in Cyprus.

In a post dated August 28, 2025, she was seen standing beside a dune buggy at the Blue Lagoon in Paphos, wearing a black-and-white striped halter bikini and oversized sunglasses. She captioned the photo, "Darlings wear the bikini ✨Chase the sunsets🌅 get out and seek adventures 👏"

Whether she's manifesting a swimwear line or encouraging others to embrace their bodies, Collins continues to live out loud — unapologetically, glamorously, and entirely on her own terms.
