Gemma Collis and Gemma Collins: similar, but very different.

THIS IS GEMMA COLLIS. She is a fencer who has represented Britain in the Paralympics, carried the Olympic Torch, and was a medallist in the wheelchair fencing World Cup.

However, people on Twitter are having difficulty telling them apart. And Gemma Collis is being tweeted heaps of abuse.

Understandably, Gemma Collis not enjoying it very much.

Consider this a notice: Gemma Collis is NOT Gemma Collins.

She’s also kind of a badass.

So, to recap. Collins:
