GEMMA Collins has bought her dream Essex home after her dad's terrifying coronavirus battle. The Towie star said her house purchase "has finally gone through" and the news delighted her poorly dad Alan who is being treated for Covid-19 in hospital.
She said on BBC podcast, The Gemma Collins Podcast: "When I took my dad to see the house he absolutely loved it. "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. " The 39-year-old star's parents Joan and Alan tested positive for Covid-19 before Christmas — and her dad said when he was first diagnosed he felt so rough he would "rather be dead".
