Gemma Collins beats Katie Price and Alison Hammond for ultimate night out girlie as she launches the SlayStation
When it comes to a night out on the town, it's Gemma Collins who everyone wants to party with, beating Katie Price and Alison Hammond, according to a new poll.
The huns want The GC, 44, with the former Towie star proving popular with Gen Z, taking 27% of the vote, quickly followed by Katie Price (25%), and Alison Hammond (22%).
Speaking about her own experiences with nights out and reflecting on the good times, Collins, said: 'Listen, the best part of the night is the build-up. It's the getting glam, the playlist, the group chat chaos, and those deep, hilarious, 'why did we even start talking about this?' moments on the journey to the venue. SlayStation is all about bringing the glam – a bit of hair, a bit of makeup, and a whole lot of fabulous. If you're stepping out, step out ready to slay.'
The new research of 2,000 adults by leading train ticketing app Trainline reveals how vital glam is to a Big Night Out, adding to the fun and drama of the night as you get ready with friends, put the tunes on, and enjoy a drink or two, with three-quarters of 18-34 year olds (75%), saying the night out begins well before they get to their destination.
Combining a get ready with me moment with 'out out' glam, Trainline is launching SlayStation at King's Cross in London on 7th June, so those heading to Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour or those passing through the city can book in whether they want a last-minute touch-up, a photo-ready refresh, or a bit of glam, professional hair stylists and makeup artists will be there to get you selfie-ready for free - You may even see the GC herself.
The new data also showed that one in five (20%) of 18–24-year-olds have revealed that they are prepared to travel a staggering 50 miles to get to their main event. The journey itself is no longer just a way to get from A to B – it's a vital part of the night, with 80% of Brits saying it's one of the most important elements, and over half (60%) using it for glam time on the go.
With three-quarters saying getting ready is one of the most important parts of the night, one in five Brits now plan their outfit and 'look' up to one month in advance of their night out – perfecting it right until the last moment, with 70% of Brits using time on the train to perfect their look.
Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline, said: 'At Trainline, we know that great nights out start long before you reach the venue – they start with the journey. Whether it's touching up your look up on the train, sharing music playlists, or those conversations that only happen en route, travel has become an essential part of the night. That's why we launched SlayStation – to celebrate the journey and make it as iconic as the destination.'
The research has also found Millennials are top spenders when it comes to getting ready for a night out, with 38% spending £60+ on their look, and over half (55%) being prepared to spend a further £100 on the rest of the night out. Closely followed by just under half (49%) of the Gen X generation willing to spend £100 on a night out, Gen Z then buck the trend with just two in five (40%) willing to spend £100 during the night out itself.

Little-known airport rule could see Brits get phones and laptops confiscated
Brits boarding flights with the likes of Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, British Airways and TUI should make sure they are aware of hand luggage rules around phones and laptops Brits planning to board flights with their laptops and phones may want to double check their hand luggage before they head to the airport - or they could risk being turned away at security. Airlines including Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet, British Airways and TUI all have their own rules around hand luggage sizes and what you can bring into the cabin, but when it comes to gadgets, there are some blanket rules that affect all passengers, no matter which airline you're flying with. For example, you can take plenty of gadgets with you on a flight such as your phone, laptop, tablets and more, but you'll need to ensure these are charged. That's because airport security staff may ask you to switch these items on - and if you can't, they have the right to refuse to let you through, ending your holiday before it's even started. The UK government has a warning on its website explaining: "Make sure your electronic devices are charged before you travel. If your device does not switch on when requested, you will not be allowed to take it onto the aircraft." As well as phones and laptops this could also include the likes of hairdryers, cameras, speakers, docking stations, electric shavers and hair straighteners to name a few, so ensure any electronic item in your bag is charged before you head off to the airport. British Airways has urged passengers to check their devices before boarding. A statement on the airline's website explains: "You can generally take electric and electronic items in your hand or checked baggage, but you need to follow specific safety instructions: "Airport security staff may ask you to turn on electronic or battery-powered devices, such as phones, tablets, e-books and laptops, to demonstrate they function. If you're not able to do this, you will not be able to take your device with you (see options below). "Please ensure that any items in your hand baggage are fully charged and switched on before you arrive at the airport. If your device is not charged, please place it in your checked baggage. "If you are connecting, make sure that you do not deplete power in your devices during the first part of your journey as charging points at airports might be very limited and you may need an adapter." The airline adds that for passengers travelling through London Heathrow, if you find yourself stuck at security, you can rebook to a later flight and charge your gadget in the meantime. They do caveat that "a fee might apply for changing your booking, subject to your ticket type". Alternatively, travellers can leave their bag with "Bagport, who operate the lost property office in London Heathrow", and will be given a reference number to get in touch for how to retrieve their belongings. Of course the rules on what happens if you're not able to get through security can differ depending on your airline and departure airport, so it's worth getting in touch with your airline directly if you need further clarity regarding one of your gadgets.

Brits warned 'check passports' blank pages or risk being turned away at airport'
Brits heading on holidays to the likes of France, Spain, Portugal and Greece need to check their passports including blank pages before heading to the airport Before heading on holidays abroad, most people will check their passports are still in date and damage-free, but travel insiders are warning UK travellers to also cast their eyes over blank pages in their documents. That's because one simple mistake could mean your holiday is over before it even starts, as you could be denied boarding at the airport, or turned away at border control. The travel insurance experts at have warned: "With Brits now getting stamped every time they travel through the EU, travel enthusiasts and those who travel for work may potentially run out of blank pages in their passports. All passport holders must have at least two blank passport pages when they travel, otherwise the document could be seen as invalid. Those travelling more frequently can opt for a jumbo passport that has 54 pages instead of a normal one with 34 pages." READ MORE: Livid Brits take 'sunbed wars to a whole new level' with sneaky 2am tactics It's not just how many blank pages you have left; you'll also want to check for any damage. The experts added: "If any of your passport pages are torn or missing, your passport is considered damaged and will likely not be accepted at the border, especially if it affects the personal details page or any visa stamps." Meanwhile, you'll also want to check two key dates on your document; the date of issue and the expiry date. That's because following Brexit, passport requirements have changed for Brits heading to the EU. Your passport now needs to have been issued less than 10 years ago, and must be valid at least three months beyond the date of departure. These easy errors could also be costly, as if you're turned away because you don't have a valid passport, then it's unlikely that your travel insurance would cover the costs, leaving you out of pocket. Ian Wilson, travel insurance expert and Managing Director, added: "With passport fees increasing and queues likely getting longer this summer due to the introduction of the EU's new Entry/Exit System, we urge holidaymakers to carry out essential passport checks now to avoid last-minute hassle and potentially being turned away at the airport. "Post-Brexit travel changes are still confusing for many of us, so it's important for Brits to familiarise themselves with the validity requirements before jetting off to Europe. "Travellers also need to ensure their passports are in good physical condition, as things like damage from water or ink, rips in pages and laminate peeling from the personal details page can mean that your passport may not be accepted as a valid travel document. "If you're denied access to your flight for issues such as an invalid passport, your travel insurance is unlikely to protect you. That's why it's so important to double-check these things well in advance of your departure date."
