Gemma Collins makes first appearance after admitting she feels like she's dying
Gemma Collins launched Trainline's 'SlayStation' pop-up at King's Cross station today, encouraging commuters and party-goers to step in to get their hair and makeup done Gemma Collins was glowing today as she made her first public appearance since admitting she feels like "dying" while battling pneumonia. The 44-year-old brought full glam to King's Cross station in London as she launched Trainline's "SlayStation" pop-up, helping commuters and concert-goers prepare for their night out - offering free hair, makeup and selfie-ready moments to those heading to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour as well as people passing by. It comes as former The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) star Gemma, who is celebrated for her glamour, meme-worthy one-liners, and unapologetic self-confidence, was named the ultimate night out partner in a poll - receiving 27 per cent of votes by Gen Z - quickly followed by Katie Price (25 per cent) and Alison Hammond (22 per cent). The survey, commissioned by Trainline, also revealed that for three quarters of 18-34 year olds (75 per cent), the night out begins well before they step foot in the venue. With three quarters saying getting ready is one of the most important parts of the night, one in five Brits now plan their outfit and look up to one month in advance of their night out – with 70 per cent of Brits using time on the train to perfect their look. Speaking about her own experiences with nights out and looking back at the good old days, the GC said: "Listen, the best part of the night is the build-up. It's the getting glam, the playlist, the group chat chaos, and those deep, hilarious, 'why did we even start talking about this?' moments on the journey to the venue. SlayStation is all about bringing the glam – a bit of hair, a bit of makeup, and a whole lot of fabulous. If you're stepping out, step out ready to slay." Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline, said: "At Trainline, we know that great nights out start long before you reach the venue – they start with the journey. Whether it's touching up your look up on the train, sharing music playlists, or those conversations that only happen en route, travel has become an essential part of the night. That's why we launched SlayStation – to celebrate the journey and make it as iconic as the destination." To help commuters and party-goers feel their best, SlayStation brought together professional hair, makeup and glam artists to King's Cross today. The free-of-charge event, held until 8pm on Saturday, is now sold out. Earlier this week, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: "Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon." In a further update on her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed she was receiving treatment via a drip and had been seen by a doctor. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection and while most people recover within two to four weeks, infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may require hospitalisation. Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she feels as though she is "dying" as she said: "Because the Pneumonia is viral, no antibiotic is going to help me. I've been really short of breath and obviously I have work commitments that I would never not turn up to. I'm old-school, I would always fulfill my work commitments. "It's shocking, I've had it now for over three weeks and I had steroids given to me by my doctor. It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that, but I'm off them now and the sickness is really kicking back in. It's so frustrating because I normally have so much energy and I'm always loving life, but now I get really breathless really quickly and I feel like I'm dying."
