Gemma Collins reveals plans for ‘stripped back Christmas decorations’ to save money on electricity bill

GEMMA Collins has revealed her plans for ‘stripped back Christmas decorations’ to save money on her electricity bill.

The GC has decided to keep things simple this year to be a little more cost-effective.

Gemma, 41, pulled out all the stops in 2021 to make sure that everyone had a brilliant Christmas.

She gave her £1.3m Essex mansion an incredible makeover, which included a huge Christmas tree and magical lights.

But the former Towie star has decided not to do that this year.

Speaking on the most recent episode of The Gemma Collins Podcast, she said: “I’m getting my house done up for Christmas.

“I promised I’d strip it back this week because my partner said to me last year he couldn’t breathe because the house was stuffed with Christmas trees.

“I had reindeers all over the house you name it. Tree in every room and nutcracker men in toilets. It was all going on.

“I’ve promised to strip it back this year, I can’t guarantee I’ll stick to that but I might go a bit Scandinavian and just do some twinkly lights on the trees because we’re trying to save on electric.

“Do I really want to start busting up my electric bill to outer space?

“The amount of lights I had last year it was like Hooville so I need to find lights that don’t have as much power.”

In a matter of weeks Gemma has changed her mind about her decorations.

At the start of November she teased her excited Christmas makeover plans with her Instagram followers.

The reality queen confessed she was planning to go all out – with her hopes to turn her pad into Narnia.

“We are planning Christmas at the GC residence,” Gemma told her followers. “We’re gonna go carousel, very magical Naria style vibes. 

“We’re doing Narnia and Candyland combined,” she added.
