Gemma Collins 'back on drip' after showing off sensational figure in bikini and revealing surprising new business venture

Gemma Collins revealed that she was back on a vitamin drip after feeling under the weather. A few days ago the former The Only Way Is Essex star, 41, shared clips of her arm attached to a drip at her Essex mansion.

She had previously told her Instagram followers that she'd been poorly having been struck down with a chest infection and Gemma’s doctor prescribed her antibiotic tablets, steroids and an antibiotic ear spray. And, sharing a video clip of herself at the hair salon, she said having some pampering had given her a boost.

"I told you I'd walk out here a different woman," she enthused. "Despite having a chest infection and being on antibiotics and steroids, I feel totally cured after getting in here!"

Yesterday (Tuesday August 9) Gemma shared a photo of herself looking sensational as she soaked up the sunshine in a fruity bikini patterned with lemons. And she revealed that she had been glugging lemon iced water to feel better.

"Gimme that lemon iced water baby omg I’ve been so ill," she wrote. "But today I’m starting to feel like me again!!! I’m drinking water lots of it and lemons and of course wearing a matching bikini from my collection."

The compliments came pouring in with aurora_by_moonlight saying: "You look a million dollars." jacklloyd_01 wrote: "ICON. Looking stunning queen glad to hear you are feeling better." And ghtherapy16 told her: "Looking amazing. Glad you’re on the mend x"

But today Gemma revealed she was back on the wellbeing drip, sharing a new photo on her social media, after revealing her surprising new business venture that morning. The star took fans around her impressive fruit and vegetable patches as she showed them her tomatoes and pumpkins.

The clock said it was 5.38am as she enthused about her home grown produce. "Yes, it's early. But I have to get up early to get all my stuff done for the day. Check on my vegetables, I am so excited," she said as she was joined by her cat on the tour.

"My tomatoes are growing - but even better, I started growing pumpkins and look at them already. So if you need a pumpkin at Halloween you can come to me and get one!"

Gemma then revealed that she was starting a new business venture as she posted a picture of a cute blue bee hive. "Can't wait for you all to buy my exclusive GC honey, made in my very own garden yum yum," she wrote.
