The reality show actress had her blonde tresses enhanced by a crimper on the books of city hairstylist Royston Blythe.

Nick Tucker, who went to her home in Essex to shampoo and shape her hair for the programme, said she was excited and confident of winning the show.

The 23-year-old went to her home in Romford, Essex, on Sunday, joining a team of personal stylists who helped to prepare Gemma for last night's entrance.

He said: "There were lots of people helping her to get ready, including choosing what clothes she would wear for stay in the house. The biggest problem was trying to fit everything into two suitcases - she wanted three."

Nick, who has styled the star's hair several times, fitted extensions into her long blonde mane to give her a fuller looker.

He said: "It went well. She likes big hair, so I fitted 15 extension packs instead of the usual seven. She knows Daniella Westbrook already and I'm not sure she was knew much about the others.

"She had to leave on Monday for the hotel. She was very excited, very confident about the whole thing."
