Donning a jazzed-up version of the iconic orange prison outfit, the TOWIE star pops into Litchfield for a day, happening upon a game of poker between Maria Ruiz (Jessica Pimentel), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba) and Cindy (Adrienne C Moore).
"Girls I hear you talking," Gemma says, "yes I am the queen of England. But you can call me Gemma". But when she brags about her internet fame, Taystee recognises her as being "from the Jungle", referring to her now infamous appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
"You cried and everything – and you left!" Taystee says.
