Gemma Collins shows off rarely-seen dad ahead of Father's Day following family heartache
Gemma Collins spent some quality time with her father, Alan, ahead of Father's Day as they enjoyed some whisky cocktails from Rod Stewart's brand.
Dressed in a blue silky dress with her bright blonde hair styled in glamorous waves, whilst her dad stood alongside her with his drink clutched in-hand.
Gemma shares a close bond with her father, as well as with her mother, Joan, who recently suffered a terrifying health scare after she "stopped breathing", and was rushed to hospital in May where she was placed in intensive care.
Former TOWIE star Gemma, 43, had to call an ambulance when Joan stopped breathing shortly after a family meal. At the hospital, Gemma was told her mum 'could die' in a terrifying moment. "I've had a lot of stress the last couple of weeks," she told The Sun. "My mum was suddenly taken into hospital and I was told she could die.They would not resuscitate her if she went into cardiac arrest." "So imagine that, you know, I'm in the hospital having been out for dinner the day before, and then the next day I'm like, 'wow', so that was a massive shock," the TV personality added.
