The TV beauty says she’s “ready to give her old wardrobe a new lease of life”.
She currently has 19 listings live on her pagewith prices starting at £20 for a burgundy maxi dress from Topshop.
Fans will also get the chance to get their hands on some of her designer heels and dresses.

A white Victoria Beckham bow mini dress, which the Channel 4 star wore to the 2016 Scottish Fashion Awards, is also on sale for just £50. This dress is perfect for any bride looking for a hen party outfit.
But down-to-earth Jean, married to Rangers legend Jonatan Johansson, also has a selection of high street fashion on sale.
From a £45 soft pink Zara suit to a £30 sequined ASOS dress, there are pieces to suit every occasion.
And Jean said she had already sold quite a few, after showing a stack of packages ready to be shipped.

According to the I’m a Celeb winner, it’s best to show off the items yourself, rather than taking a boring photo of them lying or hanging on the floor.
And she swears by her “complete outfit” trick to boost sales.
TOWIE’s Sam Faiers admitted she sells stacks of free items on Vinted, most of which still have their tags attached.
Her assistant Bella manages her page for her, placing all the ads and bundling them.
Meanwhile, sister Billie earned a whopping £165 in just a few hours after signing up to the app to make room in her wardrobe.
Elsewhere, Gogglebox star Roisin Kelly has urged people to buy her old clothes so she can fund her £1,000 dream experience.
Online marketplaces like Vinted and Depop have millions of users in the UK and the cost of living crisis is only making them increasingly popular.
Financial pressures on UK households saw sales of second-hand goods rise 15 per cent to £21 billion in 2022.
According to research commissioned by review site Trustpilot, one in six people say they now buy second-hand items.
So this is the perfect time to make some extra money on sites like Vinted.
Do I have to pay tax on items I sell on Vinted?
FAST tax facts from the Vinted team…
- The only time an item is taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then you can use your £3,000 tax-free capital gains allowance to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers who trade for profit (buying goods with the intention of selling them for more than they paid for them) are required to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can take advantage of a £1,000 tax-free allowance, which has been in place since 2017.
