Gemma Collins visibly upset after 'tough few months' as parents are still in hospital
Gemma Collins was visibly upset during a brief outing in Essex this week. The former TOWIE star, 39, has been dealing with a hellish few weeks after her parents fell ill with coronavirus, and her dad was left fighting for his life in hospital.
Gem's heart was further broken by the tragic news of her ex Mick Norcross' sudden death last week. On top of that, her on/off boyfriend James Argent's weight issues could also be something she's had to deal with.
Gem appeared somewhat glum during her outing as she grabbed a coffee to go. Keeping her head down as she walked to and from the coffee shop, it's clear that something of importance was playing up on The GC's mind.
