00:00At home is where Gemma Collins is happiest. But she knows not everyone is as lucky.
00:07The reality star invited us to her house in Essex to discuss her next big role as a foster carer.
00:14There's a lot of love I can give. I always make a good dinner.
00:18It's a subject close to Gemma's heart. Her mum Joan was in foster care from birth.
00:23I saw the adoption papers and it was so sweet. They'd put on there like you need to sew her clothes.
00:29Make sure she's not got any holes in her socks and all stuff like that. I was like one of the lucky ones.
00:36There were so many rooms that are spare across London and the UK.
00:41Joan grew up knowing little about her family.
00:45But Gemma managed to trace their roots back to East London in a recent episode of Who Do You Think You Are?
00:51She remembered a cousin and we went on to find her and she's coming round this weekend for a curry.
00:57That is the wholesome values that so many people forget in today's society.
01:03Rushing around, this urgency culture.
