Gemma Collins planning 'three weddings' with boyfriend Rami Hawash

Gemma Collins loves the idea of marrying boyfriend Rami Hawash so much she wants to hold three weddings.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star first got engaged to Rami back in 2013 but the couple called time on its relationship shortly after, only to reconcile again earlier this year.

Now Gemma, who is also trying for a baby with Rami, revealed she wants to hold several ceremonies to ensure her nuptials are one of the showbiz events of the year.

"I love a good wedding," she said on her The Gemma Collins Podcast. "I'm probably going to have about three weddings. I'll have a real one, a showbiz one and... well to be honest my wedding will go on for about a year."

The star recently revealed she has been getting into shape and has dropped a dress size since hitting the gym regularly, but is hoping to become a mum and has already picked out the name of her first child.

"Me and Mother Nature are at one, because I'm hoping to get pregnant soon," she added. "Maybe I should find a place in the forest where I can give birth to my Mother Nature's child. I might even call it Blossom. The Japanese blossom tree. I know the child's name - it's going to be called Blossom!"

Rami is already a dad to a three-year-old boy Tristan, with Gemma serving as his step mum.

Revealing how looking after Tristan had given her a taste for motherhood last week, Gemma wrote on Instagram: "The most lovely day being step mum to a beautiful three-year-old boy I absolutely LOVE IT getting the steps in (heart emoji) it's so rewarding and just so enjoyable I absolutely love it."
