Gemma Collins feared her father ‘wouldn’t make it’ through his battle with Covid-19

Gemma Collins has admitted she feared her father ‘wouldn’t make it’ through his battle with Covid-19.

The TOWIE star’s parents, Alan and Joan, became “extremely unwell” after they contracted the deadly virus before Christmas.

The TV personality has since revealed her family feared for her father’s life, after he was hospitalised.

Speaking on her BBC podcast this week, Gemma said: “When it happens so close and within your family it literally tears you apart.”

“Our house is not the same without my dad and it has been such a scary time because we just haven’t known how he was going to be. And if he was going to make it…”

“There were moments where we all had to have the chat about, you know, what if dad doesn’t pull through,” she confessed.

Thankfully, Gemma told fans her father’s health has improved over the past few days.

“I finally got a call from the doctor to say that my dad has been keeping really stable,” she said. “And he is coming down off of his breathing masks.”

“We’re hoping to have him home with us next week.”

The 39-year-old also revealed that she’s bought her dream home in Essex, and she shared the news with her dad in hospital.

“When I took my dad to see the house he absolutely loved it,” she explained.

“I told him in the hospital ‘dad the house has all gone through’ and I just see lights in his eyes. I am so excited about it.”

“All in all it has been a positive positive week for me,” she added.
