Often, celebrities remain tight-lipped about their real earnings, but not Gemma Collins. She's been in the public eye for more than a decade now, after shooting to TV stardom on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2011. Since leaving the show in 2015, the TV star has only gone from strength to strength, starring on ITV's Dancing on Ice and, most recently, competing on I'm A Celebrity: ALL Stars.

Elsewhere, she shares glam, body-confident snaps on social media as she gears up for her wedding to her doting fiancé, Rami Hawash. Now, the 45-year-old blonde bombshell has given fans an honest update on her finances, taking a brutal swipe at the Prime Minister.

Taking to Instagram, she dressed up to the nines in a white floral wrap dress, which she elevated with gold heels and accessories with red and gold jewellery. She completed the look with a pair of pink circle sunglasses as she pulled her golden tresses up into a sleek high ponytail, working her angles for the camera.

Famous for her brutally honest attitude, she captioned the pics with a sassy swipe at Sir Keir Starmer after doing a quick Google search. She captioned the post: "Just Google my name HUN [peace emoji]. Gemma Collins: The reality TV star can command premium fees, reportedly earning up to £75,000 for a single sponsored Instagram post.

"Her wealth is sustained through her own fashion and fragrance businesses, paid social media endorsements, and prominent reality TV and media appearances." It appears that Gemma then asked a search engine if she earned more than the Labour leader.

The caption went on: "Yes, Gemma Collins does earn significantly more than the Prime Minister. While the Prime Minister's total salary is capped at approximately £167,000, Collins has built an estimated net worth of £3million to £4million.

"Her annual earnings frequently surpass the PM's salary, driven by high-value brand collaborations, social media deals, and reality TV appearances." It didn't take long before fans flocked to the comments to hype up the TV star's success online.

One user penned: "Shame there aren't more humans like GC in the world [heart emoji]," as another suggested: "Gemma for PM!? Count me in [heart emoji]." The TV star isn't wrong with her recent discovery, with the Prime Minister's salary understood to be between £160,000 and £170,000 a year.

This number has come down in recent years, with the former Labour PM Gordon Brown, who led the country between 2007 and 2010, taking home a salary of over £197,000. Unlike the Labour leader, media personality Gemma has proven that the future for popular stars of her calibre the only way is up.

Aside from starring on TOWIE, she has also had stints on various other reality shows, including Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing on Ice, Celebrity MasterChef, and The Real Full Monty. She's also been on I'm A Celebrity twice, returning last year for the South Africa edition after a brief stint in 2014, which ended in an emotional outburst and walkout.

For her most recent stint on the ITV reality show, she received a staggering £100,000 fee. Elsewhere, Gemma is a beloved podcast host, documentary host and regularly features on panel shows. Her fashion boutique and brand deals, including Ninja and New Look, further boost her finances.
