Gemma Collins' Haggling Fail on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip

Gemma Collins Tries to Flatter Antique Shop Owner

Gemma Collins, known for her appearances on The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE), is set to feature on the upcoming episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. In a teaser clip released by the BBC, Gemma is seen shamelessly trying to haggle with the owner of an antique shop. However, her attempts to butter up the shop owner don't go as planned.

Gemma's Bargaining Backfires

The clip shows Gemma attempting to bargain with Sally Tyrie, the owner of Sally's Out of Curiosity, a long-established antique shop in Southend-on-Sea. Gemma spots a classic Georg Jensen brooch and matching earrings and tries to sweet talk the shop owner. But Sally quickly catches on and questions Gemma's motives. Undeterred, Gemma continues to negotiate until they reach a reasonable price.

Asking for More

After successfully striking a deal, Gemma pushes her luck by asking if she can have a "random caviar bowl" she noticed in the shop for free. However, Sally stands her ground and doesn't give in to Gemma's flattery and sob stories. Despite her efforts, Gemma walks away with only two items.

Celebrity Antiques Road Trip

Gemma Collins is not the only celebrity taking part in the popular BBC show. She will be joined by radio presenter Melvin Odoom, as well as antiques experts James Braxton and Margie Cooper. The show follows the celebrities as they travel across the UK in search of hidden treasures. The ultimate goal is to make the most money by auctioning off the items they find.

Gemma's Fertility Journey

In a recent interview with the MailOnline, Gemma opened up about her struggles with polycystic ovaries and her fertility journey. She expressed hope after hearing about Tana Ramsay giving birth at the age of 49, as it made her believe she could conceive at a later age as well. Gemma revealed that she will be starting her own fertility journey in the next couple of weeks.

Celebrity Antiques Road Trip airs tonight on BBC One at 7pm.
