Gemma Collins is set for an emotional ride as she uncovers her family tree in the latest instalment of Who Do You Think You Are? with an unexpected 'Jack The Ripper' link
She’s the most colourful of all the TOWIE stars – and now Gemma Collins has discovered her ancestors were every bit as vibrant. In the latest instalment of Who Do You Think You Are?, Gemma explores her mum Joan’s family tree, which takes her to Dorset Street in East London, the scene of one of Jack The Ripper’s murders.
Now with the help of the show’s genealogists, she’s discovered the truth about why Joan was separated from her mother and has brought the family “closure” after a lifetime of suffering . “It’s healed my mum. No amount of money in the world could have given her those answers,” says Gemma. “This is the best present I could ever give her. She’s had closure, she’s got the answers that she’s always wanted and that’s been great.”
Gemma hopes that starting a family will be “the next thing” and Thirza, which means “delight” or “pleasing” in Hebrew, is top of her list of baby names. She says, “I love Thirza, she reminds me of myself.”
