Sea Life Weymouth has named one of its new penguin chicks after Gemma Collins.

The penguin has displayed a similar attitude to 'The Only Way is Essex' star by pushing other chicks aside whenever staff approach with food.

Gemma was born at the centre in Weymouth back in March, although she will remain behind closed doors when the attraction reopens on June 17.

Tamsin Mutton-McKnight, the general manager at Sea Life Weymouth, said: ''Just as Gemma Collins herself said 'I've earned my divaship' so too has our little chick, who by and far has shown herself to be something of a penguin prima donna.

''Our team has worked hard throughout the lockdown to hand rear the chicks and we can't wait for Gemma and her siblings to meet guests soon.''
