Reality star Gemma Collins admitted she has no “real interest” in tying the knot, but would rather focus on trying to get pregnant.

In an interview with The Sun, the reality star explained that despite her PCOS diagnosis, she wants to focus on starting a family.

“I am going to be really honest, I have no real interest… that is what I want to do. We have agreed that if we are both still together at 50 then we will do it.”

“I cannot get pregnant. It is a nightmare. If anything, you’d want a baby before you get married,” she said.

“The big day is not a priority, I’d rather spend the money on working out how I can have a baby,” the continued.

Gemma has urged doctors to contact her to help her get pregnant.

“I cannot seem to get a doctor and I am looking to find a fertility doctor who can help me.”

She has bravely opened up about her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in the past. She said it has made it harder for her to get pregnant, but she doesn’t want to give up on that dream.

The TV personality revealed she had PCOS in 2020. Gemma said she has struggled since she was diagnosed in her 20s, but chooses to “rise above”.
