Gemma Collins throws huge party for the Queen's Jubilee at her £1.35m Essex mansion

Gemma Collins has thrown herself into the festivities of the Platinum Jubilee weekend as she prepares to throw her own party to celebrate at her £1.35m Essex mansion.

The Queen of Essex has got into the royal spirit as she addressed her "loyal subjects" ahead of the big day.

She has transformed the garden at her home she previously dubbed 'Buckingham Palace of Essex' into a patriotic wonderland, with Union Jack flags and purple balloons draped over fences.

The reality TV star also has a bouncy castle, huge outdoor pool, outdoor furniture for guests to lounge on and enjoy the sunshine and she's even got portaloos.

Her statue of a horse holding a glitter ball was also covered in purple balloons.

"Hello Tallulah! She is all done up for the Queen's Jubilee," she told fans.

Wearing a crown emoji, she said: "Good morning my loyal subjects, royal subjects... I'm not sure how it goes.

"There is a huge party at the GC residence today. I am so patriotic, I love the Queen, and I'm going to do her proud today.

"I've hardly slept for two days, I've pulled this party together at last minute. But it is all coming together, it's going to be amazing.

"Happy Jubilee honeys," she signed off.

Keeping with the theme, Gemma even had red, white and blue chocolate covered strawberries and doughnuts.

She also cooked up a storm in the kitchen, making a pasta dish which she called a "Greek speciality".

She was joined by her nephew Hayden, who was stunned when he saw the set up in her back garden.

The pair sang a rendition of the national anthem together, before heading back inside to eat more chocolate-dipped fruit.

She also showed fans her wildflower meadow in the centre of her manicured lawn.

"I'm so happy, I planted lots of seeds for the wildlife, and I don't know if it's the Queen's Jubilee but the colours just are incredible, and there is so many bees in here and they are so happy, and it's just massively completed the look."

She showed off a white table and chairs under a gazebo with flower petals hanging down, adding: "Anyone would have thought I was getting married today."

Gemma, who was set to make her theatre debut disappointed fans after pulling out of her role in Chicago just days before the first performance.

The ex TOWIE star was going to take to the stage as Mama Morton in the hit musical, but was forced to quit due to an injury flare up.

When the news broke that she had landed the part, she was met with mixed feedback from fans and industry professionals, with some calling it a "stunt" casting.
