'Inspirational' Gemma Collins shows off her two stone weight loss on social media
She's been inspired by her mums struggle with arthritis
The Only Way is Essex star Gemma Collins has been wowing Instagram followers with new slim pictures after losing two stone.
Gemma's bright personality and honest attitude have always made her one of the most relatable members of the TOWIE cast, and fans have always loved that she's discussed her weight loss efforts many times in the past.
But recently her inspiration for shedding the pounds has been inspired by something a little closer to home. Gemma has been helping her mum recover from a condition called rheumatoid arthritis, which can cause swelling and stiffness in joints, making it difficult to move.

Star magazine reports that a friend of Gemma's commented, 'Gemma lost nearly two stone by cutting out alcohol and eating healthily. She's taking time to look after herself now that her mum Joan is doing better.'
