Gemma Collins received an unexpected early birthday present on Friday morning after discovering Hollywood star Chris Pratt is a huge fan of her appearances The Only Way Is Essex.
The Hollywood star became an unlikely fan of the long-running show while filming Marvel adventure Guardians of the Galaxy in the United Kingdom in 2013, and he admitted to being particularly drawn to Gemma during a recent interview with Josh Smith for Glamour.
‘The GC? She’s a real star,’ he said when asked if he'd heard of the TV personality. ‘I mean, I love that show. I watched it when I was out here shooting years ago, got hooked on it. I’d be a little star-struck if I met Gemma.’

Pratt, 39, also expressed genuine concern after discovering she fell flat on her face while completing a skate routine on Sunday evening’s edition of reality show Dancing On Ice.
‘And she fell hard?’ he asked when informed of her heavy tumble. ‘Did she hurt herself? Is she OK?’
Discovering the interview on Friday morning, a delighted Gemma – who celebrates her 38th birthday on Saturday - promptly reposted it for Instagram followers, and even promised to grab Pratt two tickets to see her perform on the weekly skating show.
