GEMMA Collins has revealed a savvy money-saving trick she’s using in her huge £2m Essex mansion.
The 41-year-old has spoken about cutting back on costs amid the cost of living crisis and she’s taken steps to reduce her spending.
In her latest move, the blonde beauty revealed she was using candles to light up her home as opposed to switching the lights on.
Tuning into I’m A Celebrity, Gemma shared a snap of the screen during which a candle could be seen in the camp on the reality show.
Living much the same way, the former Towie star penned: “Get the candles on, no lights at the GC residence.”

Spanning the camera around the room, Gemma revealed the room was bathed in candlelight.
She’d positioned candles on her coffee table and several on the dining room table too.
Gemma has addressed the cost of living crisis on her podcast, admitting she has become “mindful.”
The star explained: “The cost of living crisis, yes I have the news on, I try not to but I said I'm going to spend October and November trying to make sensible cutbacks because if you look after the pennies they look after you.
“"I have done something with every meal time, I go into my cupboards and make some serious cutbacks like everyone else.
"It is scary, mortgages are going up, electrics going up.
"I'm telling everyone not to put the heating on in my house.

"I'm making sure every lights are off, I normally have every TV switched on in the room – not necessarily watching something, but I'd have TV on in one room, music on in the other, but I've really been mindful to cut back on all of that."
She has shown off her candle collection before too and posted a shot of four giant candles lit up in the dark.
The pretty and fragrant candles made for a cosy atmosphere, but she explained that they weren't just there to look nice.
Gemma wrote: "Candles are a great way to save on the electric bills."
