Headline to publish Towie star Gemma Collins

Headline has acquired a "tongue-in-cheek guide to life" from reality TV star Gemma Collins.

In The GC: How to Be a Diva, the "Towie" star will reflect on her rise to fame as "the nation’s meme queen", including her attitude and style, as well as "being proud of her Essex roots and her body".

Editor Grace Paul, who acquired world rights from Mark Thomas at TM Media, called Collins "one of the most iconic women in reality TV and is incredibly relatable". She said the book would be "everything her fans could wish for, honest and extraordinarily funny; we are so excited to be working with her."

Collins commented: "I’m living proof that anyone can channel their inner diva and I’m so excited to be sharing my rise to the top as meme queen with this book! I hope you’re ready to embrace the GC life."

The GC: How to Be a Diva will be published in hardback on 14th June 2018.

Collins published an autobiography with Ebury in 2013, called Basically…: My Life as a Real Essex Girl, which sold just over 9,000 copies through Nielsen BookScan.
