The 'TOWIE' star had been getting ready at her beautician Lisa's house for a day of filming after a night out on the town with her on/off love interest James 'Arg' Argent, and is believed to have received "immediate medical attention" after suffering excruciating stomach pains.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She was getting ready for the day at her makeup artist Lisa's home and then nipped to the bathroom.
"The next thing Lisa knew was that Gemma had fallen to the floor - so she called for immediate medical attention and may now need to go to hospital."
Gemma was working on scenes for the Christmas special of the ITVBe reality series, but the insider says filming the episode has been postponed due to Gemma's illness.
They added: "Gemma has struggled with some ill health recently after suffering with kidney stone symptoms.
"Family and friends are hoping that she will make a rapid recovery but for now 'TOWIE' filming has been put on hold."
Gemma and Arg were joined by co-star Chloe Sims on their boozy night out celebrating his birthday and in one video shared on Instagram, the bolshy blonde could be heard asking for an Amaretto drink whilst singing karaoke.
She captioned the post: "I just [heart] it when you sing we have had the best time celebrating your birthday I'm actually so sad to go home. singing means your happy #letsstaytogether I'm so so so proud of you @real_arg I love to see you sing I will watch this so many times lol over and over ha ha (sic)'
Last week, Gemma cancelled her appearance at a nightclub in Sheffield after contracting cystitis.
The reality star was due to entertain students at Plug last Thursday (16.11.17) but had to pull out after being told to get some bed rest by her doctor after coming down with the water infection.
Gemma broke the news to her fans in an Instagram video which she recorded after switching on Freeport's Christmas lights in Essex.
Alongside the clip, Gemma wrote: "Lovely to meet you all this evening was a blast but sadly I won't be making Sheffield tonight.
"I didn't want to let anyone down doctors orders bed and rest for me I have a water infection guys I'm so sorry I don't want to let anyone down but I have to rest xxx love you all."
