The former TOWIE star, 43, shared insight into her body insecurities in the newest episode of The Mail's Everything I Know About Me podcast.

Gemma revealed how she copes seeing unflattering pictures of herself online as she made the revelation.

She said: 'I haven't got camel toe, you can have a full investigation of my area. You know I have had an operation as well, years ago. I have a designer vagina.

'I don't have a front facing camel toe, hun. I can take the p**s out myself. But I don't have camel toe. Yeah, baby. I don't have camel toe. You've heard it here first!'

Gemma revealed how she copes seeing unflattering pictures of herself online as she insisted some paparazzi shots of her have been 'doctored' in the past to make it look like she had a camel toe

In 2020, after enduring yet another split from James 'Arg' Argent, Gemma decided to treat herself to a £2,000 designer vagina.

Gemma is believed to have opted for non-surgical labia rejuvenation which uses laser energy waves energy to shrink the labia.

Speaking to her co-star Bobby Norris during a bikini wax in 2015 on TOWIE, she said: 'I actually pride myself, I'm mega confident, because I know I've got a designer vagina.

'I've never told you this, but I paid £2,000 and my vagina is perfect now. It looks like something you see in a movie.'

Taking a look for himself, impressed Bobby added: 'I've never seen anything that looks so perfect. It's like a new penny!

'That's £2,000 well spent. I would rather have a la la like that than a cheeky trip to Marbs.'

Labiaplasties involve reducing the size of the labia minora — the flaps of skin either side of the vaginal opening — and cost up to £4,000.

Some women have labiaplasty because they do not like the look of their labia.

However the NHS advises that it's completely normal to have noticeable skin folds around the opening of your vagina.

As in most cases this does not cause any problems labiaplasty is rarely available on the NHs.

Tanya Bardsley, Kerry Katona and Danniella Westbrook are among the other stars who have had the procedure.
