Gemma Collins will be the new face of Surf washing powder after landing a seven-figure deal, according to reports.
And fans may be breathing a sigh of relief as it means the GC, 40, will take over from Dani Dyer, who was often mocked for her ‘perf with Surf’ adverts.
Gemma Collins is perfect for Surf says a source
The Sun reports that Gemma will take over from Dani and has already filmed her first commercial.
Her deal will officially be announced in the “coming weeks” the newspaper said.

A source said: “Gemma is the new face of Surf washing powder and it’s the most lucrative deal she has ever signed.
“The money on the table for the gig is well over £1million and includes TV and social media adverts.
“They may be paying Gemma seven figures to come on board but they think the rewards for Surf will be even greater.”
ED! has contacted reps for Gemma for comment.
Everything’s not “perf with Surf”
Dani incurred the wrath of social media users with her now infamous Surf advert.
The catchphrase ‘Perf with Surf’ did not go down well with fans.
Especially as it was repeated on numerous occasions during each advert.
It remains to be seen whether the catchphrase will be retained, or the brand will come up with something new for Gemma.
