Gemma Collins plans to give her parents a Christmas to remember after revealing her dad almost died of Covid last year.
The Diva Forever star is going to host Joan and Alan Collins at her home for three days over the festive season.
Speaking to New! magazine she said: "I'm doing Christmas at home because last year my dad sadly almost passed away with Covid so it was a really, really terrible time."
"We just did not celebrate Christmas."
The former TOWIE star, 40, took to her Instagram account in the summer to share a picture of her dad Alan smiling for the camera, saying she's "so lucky" he pulled through.
At the beginning of the year Alan and Gemma's mum Joan caught the virus, and while her mum had more mild symptoms, she revealed that her dad was "fighting for his life".
Thankfully, Alan made a full recovery and looked in good form sporting a hi vis vest in one of Gemma's pics.
The GC explained that she will be having her Christmas in London throughout the whole of December where she 'does what she wants', but on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the 27th December, she'll be 'spoiling' her family.
Gemma is dating her former fiancé Rami Hawash and revealed she's already bought all his presents, which she's had to hide in the loft.
She said the 45-year-old would be "so excited" when he sees them and also mentioned the pair may be going to Israel for New Year's Eve.
"Rami is hopefully going to take me to Bethlehem. Madonna has been there and now it's time," she stated.
Gemma also said she'll be spending time with Rami's son Tristan over the festive season, explaining that she has a great relationship with his mum.
The star has confessed she plans to have at least three big weddings with her boyfriend Rami if the pair tie the knot.
The reality regular was originally engaged to the businessman eight years ago, but the two parted ways.
Gemma explained: "I love a good wedding. I’m probably going to have about three weddings.
"I’ll have a real one, a showbiz one and... well to be honest my wedding will go on for about a year," the star added to The Sun.
She has also spoken about how much she'd love to have a baby.
Speaking on The Gemma Collins Podcast, the star said that giving birth in a forest is one of her wants after spending a lot of time in lockdown gardening.
She said: "Me and Mother Nature are at one, because I'm hoping to get pregnant soon.
"Maybe I should find a place in the forest where I can give birth to my Mother Nature's child."
