'The Gemma Collins Podcast' is to return for more episodes.
Gemma Collins
The former 'TOWIE' star's podcast - which gives listeners a no-holds barred look into the life of the 'GC' - has been quick hit for BBC Radio 1, and the station has commissioned a further eight shows with the series initially due to end on October 2.
The programme has proven extremely popular with listeners, reaching the top spot on Apple's UK podcast chart soon after launching, and the Beeb has decided to commit to a longer run for the debut series.
The show features guest appearances from those closest to Gemma to give an insight into what her life is like.
Meanwhile, the 'Diva Forever' star has covered issues such as body confidence, online trolling and her desire for children, and she now hopes to tackle aliens, angels and the universe.
Gemma, 38, also takes on the role of agony aunt for those in need, answering listeners' questions and tackles their life dilemmas and finishes every episode with her nuggets of wisdom.
The reality star confirmed her deal with the BBC over summer, and at the time it was said she was "really investing" in what she realised was a "brilliant opportunity" to reach a new audience.
An insider said: "Gemma knows what a huge deal it is to have got her foot in the door with the BBC so she is really investing in the podcast. It is a brilliant opportunity for her."
This series of 'The Gemma Collins Podcast' will now continue weekly until November 27.
