Gemma Collins suffered an unfortunate beauty mistake, leaving her with a fake tan on her face after mistaking tanning drops for facial serum.
The former TOWIE star, 43, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday night to speak to her 2.2 million followers about a weight loss fad she had been following, when she admitted her mistake.
He posted a short video of his empty plate after eating some noodles and claimed that “life couldn’t be better,” before filming a follow-up clip with the camera on his face.
Gemma warned: ‘Don’t even look at my face now, I don’t know what I’ve done.
‘I think last night I went to put on a facial serum and I put on a tanning serum. Terrible, terrible, terrible.’
Examining his face on camera, he added: “It could only happen to me, the hands are pure white.”
The star then tried to continue talking about her diet, but continued to become distracted by her mistake, appearing shocked by her reflection on the screen.
Gemma desperately asked fans for help on how to quickly rectify her mistake.
She asked: ‘Any solution on how… look how bad that is. Isn’t that bad?
‘Shocking. It’s typical of me, always in a hurry and not looking good, but dinner was delicious.’
The reality star pointed to her face and turned to the side so viewers could see the fake tan fail from multiple angles.
You could see a visible line stopping at the edges of her face where she hadn’t used the product.
And it’s not the first time the reality star has been tough on the bottle of fake tan.

In May 2019, Gemma was photographed posing for photographers in Los Angeles, with very tanned hands.
She was dressed to turn heads when she landed at LAX airport, wearing a striking snake-print ensemble and Versace sandals.
However, fans couldn’t help but notice the fake tan failing as he raised his hand to wave in a taxi.
The latest beauty blunder comes just after the reality star bravely opened up and revealed her fears of being “an overweight mom” amid her fertility struggles.
Gemma, who has battled polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), said in a candid interview that she wants to be the “best version of herself” if she has children.
It comes after she claimed she had reversed her polycystic ovary syndrome and would start trying for a baby with her fiancé Rami Hawash in September.
She recently told how her new diet guru, Steve Bennett, helped her “heal” after years of fertility struggles.
Steve, who has published a new book called The Fiber First Diet, has transformed her lifestyle and helped her go from a size 26 to a size 20, which she says “cured” her condition.
Gemma said Ok! Magazine about wanting to be in good shape to start a family: ‘I don’t want to be an overweight mother. I have nothing against overweight moms, but I want to run and play with my son.
Of her fertility struggles, she added: “I always find that nothing has been easy for me.” I’ve always been the one who has the struggle to get there!
“It’s the same with my fertility and I share it because many people contact me who are going through the same thing.”
“I want to have as much energy as possible for my son and be the best version of myself for my son.”
