Gemma Collinssuffered an unfortunate beauty blunder, leaving her with streaky fake tan on her face after mistaking tanning drops for face serum.

The former TOWIEstar, 43, took to her Instagram stories on Monday evening to talk her 2.2 million followers through a weight loss fad she had been following, when she admitted her mistake.

She posted a short video of her empty plate after eating some noodles and claimed that 'life could not be any better,' before filming a follow-up clip with the camera on her face.

Gemma warned:'Don't even look at my face right now, I don't know what I've done.

'I think I went to put face serum on last night and I've put a tan drop serum on. Terrible, terrible, terrible.'

Examining her face on camera, she added: 'It could only happen to me, hands are pure white.'

The star then attempted to continue talking about her diet but kept getting distracted by her blunder, appearing shocked at her reflection on the screen.

Gemma desperately asked fans for help on how she can quickly rectify her mistake.

She asked: 'Any solutions on how... look how bad that is. Is that not bad?

'Shocking. Typical me, always in a rush, not looking properly - but dinner was delicious.'

The reality star pointed at her face and turned to the side so viewers could see the fake tan fail from a number of angles.

A visible line could be seen, stopping at the edges of her face where she hadn't used the product.

And it's not the first time thereality starlet has been heavy-handed with the fake tan bottle.

In May 2019, Gemma was pictured posing for photographers in Los Angeles, with very bronzed hands.

Shewas dressed to turn heads as she touched down in LAX airport, wearing an eye-catching snake print co-ord and Versace sliders.

However, fans couldn't help but notice the fake tan fail when she held her hand up to wave in a taxi.

The newest beauty error comes just after the reality star bravely opened up and revealed her fears at being 'an overweight mum' amid her fertility struggles.

Gemma,who has battled polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - told in a candid interview how she wants to be the 'best version of herself' if she has kids.

It comes after she claimed that she's reversed her PCOS and will start to try for a baby with her fiancé Rami Hawash this September.

She has told recently how her new diet guru Steve Bennett has helped 'cure' her after years of fertility struggles.

Steve, who has released a new book called The Fibre First diet, has transformed her lifestyle and helped her drop from a size 26 to 20 - which in turn she has claimed 'cured' her condition.

Gemma told Ok! Magazine of wanting to be in a good shape to start a family: 'I don't want to be an overweight mum. Nothing against overweight mums at all, but I want to run and play with my kid.

On her fertility struggles she added: 'I always find with me nothing has ever come easy. I've always been that one that's got the struggle to bloody get there!

'It's the same with my fertility and I share it because so many people reach out who are going through the same thing.'

'I want to have as much energy for my child as possible and to be the best version of myself for my child.'
