Gemma Collins has issued an update on her personal health battle.
The Diva Forever star, 40, says her health is forcing her to do easier workouts.
She’s on a major health kick, but a polycystic ovary syndrome flare up is taking its toll.
The self-proclaimed diva said she is now trying to ‘listen to her body’ and go easy on herself.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a picture of herself in a hot pink workout outfit.

“I went to bed earlier got up a little later and didn’t over do it I’m always juggling a lot of plates but I just took it slower so this post is for anyone who needs to dig a little deeper you can do it.

Gemma says she was diagnosed with PCOS in her 20s and she’s struggled with her weight ever since.

During a Loose Women appearance, Gemma said: “It was really difficult for me in isolation because, as you know, with my condition of PCOS, it’s not easy to fall pregnant and I did suffer a miscarriage which was really sad during the lockdown period.”
She continued: “I have suffered with it for the last 10 years. I started to gain weight when I was 28, my periods were all over the place. I’ve suffered miscarriages.
