She’s made no secret of worshipping her idol Kim Kardashian, previously telling Closer, “I love Kim’s hair and I also think her curvy bum is amazing.”

But reality diva Gemma Collins went one step further with her adoration last week, replicating Kim’s most infamous Instagram shots, including posing stark naked. And pals say achieving Kim’s global star status is 37-year-old Gemma’s dream. When she recreated Kim’s iconic Paper magazine cover in April, the star Tweeted, “Kim Kardashian don’t run this town no more hunnies, the GC does!”

A source says, “The pictures are just part of her master plan. She wants to take her reality show to the US and has been studying Kim’s route to fame, poring over every detail of her career to emulate it. Gemma’s obsessed with being the British version of Kim. She’s convinced she can achieve that level of fame and fortune and says people are finally waking up to the fact she really will do it.”
