Gemma Collins and Danny Dyer were snapped at Cheltenham race course together as the two legends finally met face to face.

History was made at the races as the Queen of Essex and the King of the east end were snapped together on Thursday, March 13.

The pair were attending the St Patrick’s Day event and were both watching the races from a star-studded suite.

Although Danny planted a kiss on Gemma’s cheek and the pair looked delighted to see one another, it’s thought that this is the first time the duo have ever been publically snapped together.

Gemma, 44, looked incredible in a powder blue ensemble with a draped coat with a fur trim and a matching hat with a bold bow.

Danny, 47, looked dapper in a brown suit and navy shirt with a pair of tinted sunglasses to complete the look.

The pair posed for selfies on Danny’s phone and smiled and raised their drinks – a champagne and a pint – to the photographers taking their picture.

Danny’s races appearance comes as it’s rumoured that he is set to be among the stars appearing in Celebrity Traitors, along with Stephen Fry and Friends star Courteney Cox.

The actor is also currently promoting his new film, Marching Powder, which was released on March 7.

The actor revealed to Metro that his son has been cast in his new movie because they struggled to find another child actor to fill the role.

‘Yeah, [my son filmed with me] which was a revelation to me,’ he said. ‘I mean, I have a son in Marching Powder. He was the same age as my son, and it’s got some naughty dialogue in it because we’re trying to highlight the fact that my character is a s**t dad, he’s not been very available.

‘They couldn’t find anyone to play this child. And there’s some really intimate stuff between me and my son in this that I don’t think I could have pulled off with someone else’s kid.’
