I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is back for its all-star South Africa spin-off, and one of the most talked-about contestants is of course the GC herself — the one and only Gemma Collins. Tonight's episode sees her opening up about her wedding plans, but who exactly is her partner Rami Hawash?
The reality TV icon confirmed to campmate Adam Thomas that she plans to get married, but had him laughing when she implied she'd need four ceremonies.
That is, she reasoned, because she wants an earthy event, yet she likes Taormina in Sicily. She also admitted she likes the idea of tying the knot at Claridge's in London, but pointed out her partner has family overseas too.

"So you could have four weddings?" Adam asked.
"I don’t know, otherwise how I’m gonna make it all work?," she quipped.

Hawash is a 49-year-old businessman with expertise in mechanical car repairs. He posted last year about Jedward visiting his garage in Hainault.
He and Gemma actually go way back. In fact, he was first romantically linked to her in 2011 and they got engaged in December 2013. He even popped up alongside her on The Only Way Is Essex.

That engagement may have ultimately been broken off, but they were reported to have rekindled their relationship in 2021. He proposed once more during a romantic meal on the beach in the Maldives in 2024.
Rami regularly gushes over his fiancée on social media and called her a "power house" in a picture late last year. "Tough time for you recently but remembering always turn your face to the sun," he wrote. "A lovely natural picture of my beautiful wife to be."
Also on tonight's episode, Gemma was praised by her campmates for the energy she's bringing to the show.
Adam said in the Bush Telegraph: “Only Gemma Collins could get married four times to the same guy and I’m here for it.”
Seann Walsh, meanwhile, said: "Gemma has really helped morale in camp, you can see why the nation loves her, she’s absolutely fantastic."
She famously exited I'm A Celeb after just a couple of days back in 2014, but this time around she has already been hailed as "TV gold" by viewers after she entered as a late arrival to camp.
Last night, fans saw her facing Coronation Street favourite Craig Charles in an eating challenge named Gut Instinct, and it proved very popular on social media.
"Gemma Collins has already revolutionised this series, we are so unbelievably BACK," one person wrote on X.
