Gemma Collins suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction in her quirky outfit at Cheltenham races on Thursday.
The poor weather conditions left Gemma’s satin pleated skirt saturated in mud and rain, in a video shared on social media.
Luckily, she quickly received some assistant by two gentleman beside her who were on hand to help.
Later in the day Gemma met up with fellow reality star Georgia Toffolo as they wrapped up warm in the private boxes.
Gemma left the whole room in stitches as she yelled ‘I’m f***ing loaded!’ during a sit down lunch after winning £20,000, adding: ‘I’m coming home with 20 large ones.’
She pocked the hefty winnings during day three of the races, £5,00 of which was from one £500 bet alone.
Gemma Collins, 45, suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction in her quirky outfit at Cheltenham races on Thursday when her foot got stuck in her satin skirt in the mud
Later in the day, Gemma yelled ‘I’m f***ing loaded’ during a sit down lunch in a private box after winning £20,000, adding: ‘I’m coming home with 20 large ones.’
The reality star, 45, quaffed champagne and punched the air with glee after her horse, Meetmebythesea, came first in the 2pm race with 9/1 odds.
Taking to her Instagram at the end of the day, the former TOWIE star fanned herself with the wad of bank notes alongside the Britney Spears track Work B***h.
She penned: ‘Absolutely had the best day ever I’ve been very lucky today ☘️☘️ @paddypowerofficial thank you for all the luck ☘️ I’ve absolutely smashed it out the park today with the horse picks’.
Joining a host of other stars on the day, Gemma arrived by helicopter and stood out wearing a plaid coat with brown furry sleeves and a silk headscarf.
She wore pink gloves and carried a large Mulberry Bayswater bag – and wore sunglasses, of course.
Gemma has signed up for I’m A Celeb All Stars series, filmed in South Africa last year, and admits she ‘felt like Lara Croft’ tackling the ‘terrifying’ trials.
She confessed that after over a decade of feeling like a ‘black cloud’ hung over her head following her onscreen meltdown in Australia, quitting the show over her fears in just three days, she has finally proven herself.
Speaking about her determination to move on from her 2014 experience, which turned Gemma into a meme and viral clip, she said at Monday’s I’m A Celeb All Stars launch: ‘Obviously, it didn’t work out for me the first time around.
‘When I got asked to do it again, I thought I had spent my whole life with this black cloud hanging over my head. I am older now, I just thought, I have to do this before whatever happens to me in my life, I must go back into that jungle. It was one regret I had. This was a total redemption from me.
‘On a real one, I went in there as Gemma Collins and it’s like the GC is the bravado and she’ll have a laugh and whatever, but I was so stripped bare because I knew it was so disastrous the time before.’

Gemma has explained that, despite knowing what to expect from the show presented by Ant and Dec, the trials were even harder than when she first appeared on the program.
She almost quit before even getting on the plane, admitting that if it wasn’t for her makeup artist, she may not have taken on the challenge.
She said: ‘I got told I was going to a cocktail party so I had a full silk gown on and I turned the corner and you know what they’re like, bless you, producers, they go to me “Gem, it’s all good, you’re going in, you’re going to have a few drinks with everyone, it’s like a welcome meeting” but honestly it was nothing like that.
‘It’s so surreal. Nothing can prepare you for what comes next. It was so much tougher than before.
‘I was absolutely bricking it, and I was petrified. My makeup artist had to slap me at Heathrow airport because I sat there and said “I don’t think I can go through with this.” I was petrified but I took a deep breath and went in strong.’
But for Gemma, who expected the heights, bugs, trials, and camp conditions to be her biggest test, it was living without her beloved two dishwashers that proved the toughest challenge.
She said: ‘The one thing that troubled me though was the copious amounts of washing up because I was on camp duty with Adam Thomas and it was a massive camp, I’m not going to lie, I have two dishwashers at home.
‘It was all part of camp life, it really grounds you again going in there. It brings you back to simplicity; it breaks you in ways you have never been broken before. I left some trials broken with every inch of my life, I can’t describe the pain I felt.’
