TOWIE star Gemma Collins has given her backing to Jeremy Corbyn after she bumped into the Labour leader at the Pride of Britain awards.
The Essex star – whose dad is a staunch Labour supporter – praised the party’s manifesto after their “magical moment” together, which she described as been like When Harry Met Sally.
Asked why she supports the Labour man she said: “He’s not just for the rich getting rich. He wants to make everything equal.
“He’s got values on education, and he says every child should learn a musical instrument – that’s about giving children something to do, so they’re not hanging around on the streets”.
But it was Corbyn’s support of the NHS that has won her over the most.
She added: “Do you know why I love Jeremy? He wants to end hospital car parking charges.
“I’m not being funny, but someone’s died – a member of your family – and you’ve gotta put three quid in the meter?
“It’s just not the time. Your mum has a heart attack, yet you’ve got to rustle around in your bag for £5? It’s not the one”.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
