'So what can be done on these to make them stay up? I don't know if you can put something there [side] to them up. Thank you.'
Uploading the candid clip to 2.2million followers, she penned: 'Thank you to @stevebennettmhp #fibrefirstguys get on this it takes time slowly slowly slowly then BOOM #fibrefirst #linkinbio follow @stevebennettmhp @healthresultsofficial.'
It comes after Gemma revealed her fears at being 'an overweight mum'.
Gemma - who has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - told how she wants to be the 'best version of herself' if she has children.
She claimed that she's reversed her PCOS and will start to try for a baby with her fiancé Rami Hawash this September.
The star has told recently how her new diet guru Steve Bennett has helped 'cure' her after years of fertility struggles.
Steve, who has released a new book called The Fibre First diet, has transformed her lifestyle and helped her drop from a size 26 to 20 - which in turn she has claimed 'cured' her condition.
She told Ok! Magazine of wanting to be in a good shape to start a family: 'I don't want to be an overweight mum. Nothing against overweight mums at all, but I want to run and play with my kid.

'I want to have as much energy for my child as possible and to be the best version of myself for my child.'
On her fertility struggles she added: 'I always find with me nothing has ever come easy. I've always been that one that's got the struggle to bloody get there!
'It's the same with my fertility and I share it because so many people reach out who are going through the same thing.'
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects how a woman's ovaries work. It can mean a woman has difficulty getting pregnant as a result of irregular ovulation or no ovulation.
She recently told MailOnline: 'Since working with Steve, he has reversed my PCOS, I no longer have it so I'm a step closer to having a baby.
'I went to a fertility clinic and obviously, I was going to start my fertility journey in September but I'm not sure I need to do fertility now because hopefully I can do it naturally, plus my thyroid is doing better - I have no under active thyroid anymore.
'People have bullied me about my weight, they bullied me about it so badly for years and it's like, I can't help it, I am active...
Gemma - who is engaged to her partner Rami (seen together) - has spoken extensively about her struggles to conceive and her dream to have children

'But now I don't need to do vigorous exercise, this is the first diet where you're adding and not subtracting.'
Steve added: 'With PCOS the number one cause is a dysregulation of sugar and putting fibre first helps Gemma to regulate the sugar intake and therefore that would be the logical step to removing PCOS.'
Gemma has suffered with PCOS since she was 28 years old - which is when she started to gain weight.
The NHS states that PCOS cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be managed.
In overweight women, the symptoms and overall risk of developing long-term health problems from PCOS can be greatly improved by losing excess weight.
Weight loss of just 5 per cent can lead to a significant improvement in PCOS.
Gemma has been open about past fertility struggles and has previously suffered three miscarriages.
She suffered her first heartbreaking loss in 2012, finding the strength to speak out about it publicly eight years later in 2020.
The reality star did not realise she was pregnant at the time, said that the baby 'died in front of her' after giving birth at home on her landing.
Gemma suffered her second pregnancy loss in 2020 during the Covid pandemic.
Tragically, just a few months later, Gemma endured a third devastating miscarriage in July 2020 after falling pregnant with her ex-boyfriend James Argent's baby.
In a poignant essay at the time, Gemma detailed the beginning of her miscarriage and said she had no idea she was pregnant with on-off boyfriend Arg's baby, before she started experiencing sharp cramps one morning.
The reality star said she had dismissed the pains as a heavy period, and tried to push on through the excruciating pain, before her sister forced her to visit her doctor.
After being sent to hospital, Gemma was given the tragic news that she had suffered a miscarriage.
She said: 'In a single instant, I learned that I'd been carrying a baby and lost it, meaning that once again I found my longstanding dreams of motherhood shattered into pieces.'
Gemma refuses to give up on her dream of becoming a mother and that she thinks about the miscarriage 'every day.'
She previously detailed her battle with polycystic ovary syndrome battle (PCOS) which can affect fertility.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. Symptoms include menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.
Earlier this year she was praying for a baby with her fiancé Rami. She is stepmother to his son Tristan.
Gemma recently said she was pleased to hear that Tana Ramsay had welcomed her sixth child at the age of 49, giving her hope that she, too, can conceive in her 40s.
She told MailOnline: 'The Tana Ramsay news was the greatest thing to wake up to. Incredible.
'It really made me think positively about my future and kind of took the pressure off. I don't think anyone knew she was pregnant, so it was a lovely surprise, but I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw it.
'This is amazing news for me. I'm starting my fertility journey within the next couple of weeks. I'm going to a clinic so watch these cards and get ready for me, honey.'
