OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins is to explore the history of coal mining in Wales for a new documentary.
The 41-year-old reality star – whose grandfather worked in a mine alongside superstar Tom Jones – will appear in an episode of the Welsh language series ‘More Than Daffs and Taffs’ for S4C even though she “doesn’t speak” Welsh.
She said: “I don’t talk Welsh but I have been to Barry Island and had fish and chips there like on ‘Gavin and Stacey.’ When I think of Wales, I only really know it for the valley life. But I want to know… Is there more to Wales? From the minute I pulled up in Wales, all I could smell was coal – the smell I could never forget – It’s my earliest childhood memory.”
The former ‘TOWIE’ star will be guided through the new show by presenter Miriam Isaac and joins a list of other yet-to-be-announced celebrities set to appear in other episodes and will eventually be confronted on initial biases they may have had about the country.
S4C’s Chief Content Officer, Llinos Griffin-Williams said: “S4C is committed to delivering a diverse and vibrant slate of content, ensuring relevant and exciting programmes that push the boundaries. More Than Daffs and Taffs (WT) is commissioned as part of our new strategy focused on bringing engaging, provocative shows that drive discussion and appeal to existing and new audiences. We want to engage with national debates and reflect a diverse, modern Wales and its relationship with the rest of the world.
“This commission brings broad popular talent to our platforms as they challenge preconceived ideas of Wales and Welsh Culture.”
‘More Than Daffs and Taffs’ is set to air on S4C in 2023.
