TV personality Gemma Collins has complained in the past about “haters” who post “nasty” messages about her online. One of her early abusers is a prominent politician who could be the next London Mayor, we can reveal.

Susan Hall, a London assembly member and former councillor, had some choice words for Collins when she appeared on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here in 2014.

“OMG this fat woman Gemma is ghastly, really ghastly,” Hall tweeted, “however watching her squeal may be funny”. She also called Collins a “stupid fat blonde woman”.

Hall was shortlisted by the Conservative party this weekend as one of the final three candidates who could face Sadiq Khan in the next London mayoral election. She will go up against Daniel Korski, a former political advisor, and Mozammel Hossain, a barrister, in the fight to be the official Tory candidate.

Does Hall think she can insult her way to the top? We called her to ask but got no response.
