REALISING BRITISH PEOPLE NEEDED A REASON TO LIVE AGAIN, some clever dick recently made a series of memes out of Towie star Gemma Collins’ now legendary 2016 appearance on Celebrity Big Brother; a cultural landmark which famously saw her trot around the garden with a Shetland pony called Tony, while throwing shade at John Partridge and telling Gillian McKeith to fuck off.
Bringing the GC back was a risky business, but 18 months later she’s risen from the ashes like a vajazzled Phoenix.
No sooner had these memes — or memays as Gem likes to call them — gone live than the public thirst for an undervalued national treasure created an intrigue unparalleled since Richard III’s bones were found in a Leicester car park.
