UPDATE: A representative for Gemma has been in contact with HuffPost UK to point us in the direction of her Instagram account, where GC’s story includes snaps of her stood in front of a private jet.
These were posted late on Thursday morning, while the tweet with the image from Google was shared at 4:54AM so it seems Gemma did travel on a jet after all... after sharing a Google image of one earlier in the day. We’re happy to clarify this and have updated the story accordingly.
Gemma Collins has suffered her second embarrassment of the week, getting caught out posting a picture of a private jet on Twitter, leading many fans to believe she would be travelling in it.
On Thursday morning, The GC tweeted a snap of a super swish plane sat on a runway, along with the caption: “And I’m OFF ..... life’s changed private jets being sent for me now unreal x.”
So far, so good. The plane looks lush, sky’s a little grey to the right but you can’t fix the weather, can you?
What’s that, sorry? This isn’t a picture GC took? She actually nabbed it from Google Images?
It took just three hours for user @LudfordBradley to point out what GC had done, revealing via a reverse image search that it seems she just Googled “private jet” and chose the second picture that appears:
Oh, Gemma. You should have known better.
Obviously, Gemma’s tweet inspired some fantastic responses...
Earlier this week, a Now magazine interview with Gemma went viral, thanks to the fact the star refused to questions as the reporter hadn’t read her book.
The already-iconic interview saw Gemma turn the tables on the interviewer, asking her “Have you read it, hun?” before berating her own PR for failing to send the mag a copy.
