Reality star drops the diva antics for an exposing look at her struggles with stress that started in her teen years.

Though proud of how her daughter has made a living through her confidence and charisma, Gemma’s mum Joan refuses to accept that Gemma’s cutting, at least in part, was a result of stress and pressure to be happy as a child, even when she wasn’t. “The problem is with you – it wouldn’t be from your home life,” Joan reasons. Vulnerability isn’t something that comes easily to Collins, and in many ways, putting on a strong front is probably what’s kept her (and The GC) in the industry for so long. Occasionally, she speaks about the self-harm as if it weren’t something to do with her at all. Yet she wants everyone to know that it’s not a celebrity sob story: “Do not get the violins out for me,” she caveats. In Gemma Collins: Self-Harm and Me, she begins a journey of acknowledging and understanding her 20-year habit of cutting her wrists in times of overwhelming stress. But it is Collins who is the subject of this four-part project: sensitive, softly spoken and fiercely protective of her loved ones.
