Gemma Collins says she is absolutely ‘buzzing’ to be back in an airport and embarking on her first family holiday with fiancé Rami Hawash and her step-son Tristan.
The 41-year-old reality star has already been through check-in and has been enjoying a glass of bubbles as she, 44-year-old husband-to-be Rami and his three-year-old son Tristan prepare to take to the skies and chase the sunshine.
Gemma says that she effectively manifested her family holiday as she “put it out there” that she wanted to go on holiday – only for a travel company called On The Beach to get in touch and make her wish come true.
Now the former Towie star is enjoying the thrills of the airport and is getting all psyched up to spend some time with her two favourite boys and soak up some rays.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Gem gave an update live from the airport via her Stories, beaming as she shared her update from behind a large pair of sunglasses.
She said: “Darlings, it is The GC. Covid can kiss my [designer vagina].
“I needed a holiday. I put it out there, On The Beach got in contact and they was like ‘GC, we are sending you on a Diva-esque holiday’.
“I was like ‘You’re joking, hunnies!’ So I’ve got to say, the escape lounge at the airport is incredible. I’m already on the Prosecco. This is going to be a GC extravaganza!
“On The Beach is the way forward. If you want to do it yourself. Holiday hunies!”
Gemma continued to share videos and photos from the airport, showing that Rami and Tristan were with her – with the star revealing her businessman husband-to-be was gagging to do some airport shopping while she was desperate to get her hands on a glass of champagne.
She said in a subsequent update: “So, guys. Really excited. We are on our first family holiday today and I’ve got to say it’s been an amazing experience form the minute I’ve turned up to the airport.”
Rami could then be heard saying: “Gemma are we going to have a look around?” as he made a beeline for the duty free shops.
Gemma laughed: “No, Rami. Come on. So yeah, it’s been amazing. We’ll have a drink through here.
“He likes to shop at duty free. I wanna get through, have a glass of champagne, and get on our holibobs.”
Gemma continued: “It is just such a buzzing feeling to be here.”
She then called Rami over to show off his airport style, saying: “Where is he? Look at him. Show everyone your man bag, Ram. It’s gorgeous.”
And she concluded her video, saying: “So, yeah. I’m excited!”
Gemma has opened up about her joy of being a stepmom to Tristan – who Rami shares with an ex-girlfriend.
She told listeners of her podcast last December: "I thought I would share my personal biggest highlight of the year, I think it would be falling in love and thinking it would never happen for me.
"I’ve had the biggest gift of my life, something that money can’t buy and that is my beautiful stepson, who I love so much.
"I’m very grateful that we have such a wonderful relationship, myself and Rami with his mum, the beautiful Fernanda.
"It’s kind of like a pinch me moment, I went to her house yesterday for dinner and I sat there and I was like this is so surreal but so wonderful.
"Two really strong women and a great dad and the love we have for the child.
"He has given me the biggest joy of my life, I always felt something was kind of missing, I had it all but there was a little part of the puzzle missing and Rami bringing that to my life and his mum being so kind and letting me be there in the child’s life is the biggest gift I’ve ever had. I just want to say a very special thank you."
Gemma and Rami first dated back in 2012 and became engaged the following year – but split in 2014.
The couple rekindled their romance last year and have openly discussed their hopes and plans to tie-the-knot and grow their family together.
