Gemma Collins has joined Orange Is The New Black…well, kind of

Keeley Ryan

She is already the queen of memays.

But it looks like Gemma Collins could be set to take on a whole new challenge after joining the cast of Orange Is The New Black. 

Well, kind of.

The internet sensation made her way to Litchfield  Prison in upstate New York, joining Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore) and Ruiz (Jessica Pimentel) to chat about makeup and beauty.

And, of course, GC’s prison orange scrubs are all blinged up – would you have expected her to be wearing anything else?

The clip was filmed to promote Orange Is The New Black’s sixth season, which is due out on July 27.

Following her brief-but-hilarious stint behind bars, Gemma said:

“I’ve always loved Orange is the New Black and getting to visit the set and hang out with the girls was an absolute blast.

“Those ladies know how to have a good time and are my sort of people.”

GC admitted she was a “bit nervous” about the whole situation, as she thought she was heading into a real-life prison – but it all worked out in the end.

She said:

“From the jungle to Big Brother, I’ve experienced my fair share of incarceration – to be honest, this was the most fun!

“I’ve told the ladies, the next time they’re in the UK, they’re coming to Gemma’s Boutique then off to Sugar Hut for a night on the tiles.”
