The Only Way Is Essex's Gemma Collins has been named 'Best Designer' at the 2014 British Plus-Size Awards.
The reality TV star picked up the award at the weekend for her clothing brand Gemma Collins' Collection, which first launched in July 2012.
"It is actually amazing that I have won this, I still can't believe it after just 18 months in the clothing industry," Collins said.
"I started the Gemma Collins Collection because I was so fed up with not being able to find anything that I liked on the high street."
She added: "I was also the only Towie star that never got sent any clothes and it really did upset me."
"But now I have realised how plus size girls are excluded from the high street, my collection can only get bigger.
"I have had so much support from the British public, so thank you."
Collins's collection offers clothes from size 14 upwards.

Thursday morning, the Yale community awoke to a momentous email: Richard Levin, the president of the university since 1993 announced that he would step down at the end of the academic year.
Yale's dean of undergraduate education Joseph Gordon, whose roughly 35 years at Yale overlap almost entirely with Levin's, expressed the feeling of many on campus when he said that, although he'd known Levin would eventually retire, the assurance and ease of his presidency makes the thought of his departure difficult to absorb.
"It's hard to separate him from the whole place for the last 20 years," Gordon said. "He changed so much. He made Yale so much a better place. He took a great place and made it even better."
Many of those changes will linger on far beyond Levin's departure, forming a remarkable legacy that has led some to call him the greatest president Yale has had in its 311-year history.
