Gemma Collins 'so distressed' as she details 'heartbreaking upset'
Gemma Collins has detailed her “heartbreaking” weekend after revealing that she needed to take her beloved dog Blue to the emergency vets after they were bitten by another dog.
43 year old Gemma, who recently surprised fans when she opened up on her unexpected friendship with a Hollywood star, became an “official dog mum” in September 2023 when she welcomed Blue into her family.
But in an emotional Instagram post shared on Monday, 20 May, the former The Only Way Is Essex star thanked pals Jedward for their support as she revealed that she was left “distressed” after taking Blue to the emergency vets for treatment. “I’ve had the most heart breaking upset this weekend a dog entered my property and bit my blue I want to thank the emergency vets and @jepicpics for helping me whilst I was so distressed,” she wrote.
After sharing the heartbreaking announcement, the TV personality asked her followers if they had any advice about what to do in her situation before thanking musicians John and Edward again for being by her side.
