She recently claimed her body is 'disgusting' and revealed she is hoping to shed at least three stone in weight.
But Gemma Collins put on a confident display as she hit the beach in Dubai for an impromptu acrobatics session earlier this month.
Hurling herself down the pristine golden sands as she attempted to perform a series of cartwheels, the TOWIE star appeared to have put her weight-loss woes to one side as she enjoyed some fun in the sun.

Fun in the sun: Hurling herself down the
pristine golden sands as she attempted to perform a series of
cartwheels, the TOWIE star appeared to have put her weight-loss woes to
one side as she enjoyed some fun in the sun
Showcasing her voluptuous curves in a striped halterneck one-piece with pretty floral detailing, the 33-year-old reality star couldn't keep the smile off her face as she ran down the beach with her hands in the air.
And after attempting a rather impressive acrobatic display, the plus-size clothing designer collapsed in an exhausted heap on the floor as she struggled to catch her breath.
After her rather active day out, size 22 Gemma headed back to her room to change as she kicked back around the hotel's swimming pool for the afternoon.

Looking every inch the glamour queen, the curvy blonde rocked a screen siren look in a simple black bandeau swimsuit, which proved to be a flattering choice for the star.
Sensibly covering up from the heat of the Middle Eastern sun, the Essex-based former car saleswoman wrapped a sheer black kaftan around her with intricate silver embellished detailing on the shoulders.
Gemma completed her poolside look with a pair of chic white retro-inspired sunglasses and, somewhat bizarrely, her glittering diamond engagement ring, despite having split from on-off fiance Rami Hawesh in January.
Striped sensation: Despite her confident
display, Gemma recently claimed her body is 'disgusting' and revealed
she is hoping to shed at least three stone in weight
Lacking confidence: The TOWIE star, a size 22
and weighing in at 18 stone, recently said she can't bear to look in the
mirror because she is so 'disgusted' by her figure
And in spite of claiming she is keen to shed the pounds as soon as possible after piling on three stone during her relationship with Rami, Gemma was tucking into a tasty plate of pizza as she soaked up the sun by the side of the pool.
The TOWIE star, a size 22 and weighing in at 18 stone, recently said she can't bear to look in the mirror because she is so 'disgusted' by her figure.
Opening up to Heat magazine in a candid interview this week, she said: 'I can’t bear to look in the mirror, my body is disgusting. I need to lose weight. I’m ashamed of my body.
Athletic: Gemma displayed her sporty side as she tumbled around the sands during her impromptu acrobatic session
Blonde ambition: The star wore her blonde locks
scraped back from her face, and had a full face of make-up on, in spite
of the soaring heat
'I get embarrassed walking around the supermarket on my own, buying food for myself. I just can’t be a***d, so I will go up the carvery.'
After coming out of her 'unhealthy' relationship with Rami, Gemma insisted she is now confident enough in herself to live life without him.
She added to Heat: 'While I was in my last relationship, I started to believe that he was the only person that could love me as I am. I got more and more down.
'I started to believe that I was s***. I am not that person; I have always been proud of who I am, but that relationship made me doubt myself.’
And relax: After her rather active day out, size
22 Gemma headed back to her room to change as she kicked back around
the hotel's swimming pool for the afternoon
Dressed to impress: Sensibly covering up from
the heat of the Middle Eastern sun, the Essex girl wrapped a sheer black
kaftan around her with intricate silver embellished detailing on the
shoulders
Gemma has previously put her weight problems down to an 'insulin problem', insisting she eats a healthy diet and works out three times a week.
She said in an interview with MailOnline in 2013: 'Every day I struggle with my weight, but at the end of the day people forget that I have an insulin problem.
'I mean, I am healthy because I eat healthily and work out, but my body produces three times as much insulin as it should do, which turns into sugar and that then turns into fat.'
Keeping it simple: Looking every inch the
glamour queen, the curvy blonde rocked a screen siren look in a simple
black bandeau swimsuit, which proved to be a flattering choice for the
star
Tasty treat: In spite of claiming she is keen to
shed the pounds as soon as possible after piling on three stone during
her relationship with Rami, Gemma was tucking into a tasty plate of
pizza as she soaked up the sun by the side of the pool
But in spite of being larger than she would like, Gemma insisted she is the 'most comfortable' she's ever been.
She added to MailOnline: 'People think I'm sitting there eating junk food all the time but I swear on my life that I eat healthily.
'Today I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and chicken for lunch - I do consider myself a healthy person because I eat healthily and I train three times a week but people look at me and think I'm unhealthy because of the extra weight I'm carrying.
'I'm a size 20 now and I'd really like to get down to a size 16 or 18 because that's where I feel the most comfortable. But at the end of the day, I'm in my 30s and I'm the happiest and most comfortable I've ever been.'
Should you be wearing that? Gemma completed her
poolside look with a pair of chic white retro-inspired sunglasses and,
somewhat bizarrely, her glittering diamond engagement ring, despite
having split from on-off fiance Rami Hawesh in January
Looking tan-tastic: After coming out of her
'unhealthy' relationship with Rami last month, Gemma has insisted she is
now confident enough in herself to live life without him
Positively giddy: Gemma looked as though she was excited about life as a single girl one again as she cooled off in the sea
