GEMMA Collins has revealed an unexpected friendship she shares with an A-list actress, describing her as “like a sister.”
The 43-year-old shared a snap with Aussie actress Rebel WIlson on Instagram, prompting fans to label them as an iconic duo.
It seems Gemma and Rebel have been good friends for a while, and they looked really close after Gemma shared a heartfelt caption on a photo taken with the star at Rebel’s book event last night.
Rebel visited The London Palladium yesterday to discuss her new book Rebel Rising with Fearne Cotton.
Gemma captioned the picture she took with Rebel: “I’m so proud of you Rebel you’re spectacular here’s to reaching higher in life for all with your inspirational book Rebel Rising I’ve got all the respect & love for the journey you’ve been on!
“Your heart & drive to go for things in life is such Girl Power on every level and I’m so happy you’ve found your Disney Princess.”
Celeb fans John and Edward from Jedward who also attended the event excitedly commented: “Iconic Duo REMMA forever!”
One fan commented: “THIS IS ICONICCCC.”
Whilst another added: “Now that’s a powerful pairing.”
“Gemma Collins for PITCH PERFECT 4, I love you always” penned a third enthusiastic fan.
Rebel Rising was released in the UK last week, following its release in the US and other countries at the beginning of the month.
Rebel has been involved in an ongoing feud with actor Sacha Baron Cohen after her book was published containing allegations against him.
Almost an entire page of Rebel Rising about the Ali G and Borat star, 52, is covered in thick black redaction marks and those parts have been banned from the UK.
A note on page 216, which initially contained damaging claims about Sacha’s behavior on set, states that the passage was removed “due to the peculiarities of the law in England and Wales”.
Sacha’s spokesman: “This is a clear victory for Sacha Baron Cohen and confirms what we said from the beginning — that [the allegations are] demonstrably false, in a shameful and failed effort to sell books.
“Printing falsehoods is against the law in the UK and Australia — this is not a ‘peculiarity’ as Ms Wilson said, but a legal principle that has existed for many hundreds of years.”
Rebel and Sacha worked together in the 2016 spy comedy Grimsby.
They portrayed a couple, and Rebel accused her co-star of repeatedly asking her to “go naked”.
She added: “I was constantly saying no to him and he didn’t like it.”
