Gemma Collins has been suffering from a chest infection.
The 38-year-old star admits she "hasn’t stopped eating" recently after experiencing "a lot of stress" of late, which has resulted in her not going to the gym for a couple of weeks, and she has been unwell.
She said: "I ain’t stopped eating. I’ve had a lot of stress and I’ve not been to the gym in two weeks.
"I’ve been unwell all weekend with a chest infection."
But the star has vowed to get her healthy eating regime back on track when she returns from a break to Dubai.
She added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "When I come back, I will get back on it.
"I always come out on top. My life always goes a bit t**s-up but I carry on."
Gemma’s comments come after recent concerns for her on/off boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent.
And in August, the former ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant admitted Arg’s diet breath made her vomit.
She said: "It was like a scene from ‘Alien’. His breath smelt so bad I was actually sick. I woke up and he breathed and said good morning and I started to retch. Then I spewed all over his bedroom at 6am. I retched from the bathroom all along the landing. I obliterated the bathroom. We had to take the toilet seat off.
"He has promised me he’s going to go to the dentist."
Gemma recently revealed her own weight loss has been fuelled by £250-a-time slimming injections.
She said: "I went on the jabs and that has been really good for me.
"You get injected basically and it curbs your appetite as well so it is handy when you are busy and on the road.
"I definitely feel much better since losing weight and I have got more energy and stuff. When you eat rubbish food, you feel rubbish and when you eat healthy, it’s a lot better."
