Gemma Collins mobbed by fans in Manchester as she cuts bold figure in 90s-style fluorescent suit

Gemma Collins wowed as she left the Opera House theatre following the opening night of her one-woman show. The former The Only Way Is Essex star brought the first show of her GC's Big Night Out tour to Manchester.

And Gemma, who is taking on the iconic role of Mama Morton in the touring production of Chicago: The Musical from next month, razzle dazzled 'em in a vibrant suit and shades as she was mobbed by excited fans. She teamed her on-trend 90s-style suit with bold pink heels that also added to the nostalgic look that evoked memories of the decade that gave us Beverly Hills 90210 and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The 41-year-old was all smiles as she posed for photos outside the theatre. And on her Instagram she shared her video of the moment she stepped outside to be greeted by her audience.

As Gemma thanked her supporters for coming to the show, the assembled fans cheered and some belted out the Madonna anthem Express Yourself to their icon.

MANCHESTER you was INCREDIBILE," she wrote.

"Thank you so much …… next stop GLASGOW."

And the praise came flooding in for the show.

juliet.jd commented: "We’ve had a lovely evening. Bit emotional for me, as I can relate to a lot. But that’s why we love you so down to earth. My daughter is made up, you smiled at her getting in your car. Fab night, great memories. Thank you for being you."

polly1nna said: "The best night ever."
