GEMMA Collins revealed she was on a drip as she struggled to recover from Covid. Sharing a video of a nurse at her Essex mansion treating her with the drip, the GC admitted some days she "can't do a thing." Gemma said: "Today I am poorly, since having Covid it's really weird, I have these days where I literally can't do a thing. "I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but it is just so weird." She then shared another photo of her arm with the caption: "Covid deffo makes you feel weird after." The reality star looked tired in a makeup-less selfie she shared as she waited for the medication to enter her system. "Exhausting effects after Covid one day you feel fine another just awful," she captioned the selfie.
