Gemma Collins looked incredible as she posed in stylish swimwear whilst relaxing in the sunshine with Love Island star Nathalia Campos. The pals were spotted together on Instagram at a gathering at the Gemma's lavish Essex home.
Nathalia featured on the ITV2 dating series this year as a bombshell, but was booted out just days after entering the villa. But despite her short stint in the villa, the Brazilian appeared to make a lasting impression on Gemma as she invited the star to her house for a summer party.
The swanky bash took place in Gemma's recently renovated £1.3million mansion, with her mum Joan and other close friends also in attendance. Taking to her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed her unlikely friendship with Nathalia as the pair soaked up the sun in her crib, writes The Mirror.
Alongside the Love Island star, Gemma, 41, told fans: "Fresh out the Love Island house. She is at the GC mansion getting showbiz advice from mother. "What are the key things you're telling her mum?"
Joan responded: "To be very confident, walk with your head high and your shoulders back." Gemma added: "Just be true to yourself, honey! And to take them big pay cheques!"
The reality star later shared a video of herself and Nathalia as she flaunted her body in a leopard swimming costume. "This girl is a supermodel," Gemma declared, adding: "I'm still working on me being a supermodel, but I'm not doing bad."
Meanwhile, Nathalia also took to social media to share glimpses inside Gemma's incredible pad. It's been a hectic time for Gemma after she was nearly rushed to hospital, following a battle with a "mystery illness".
The former TOWIE star, who has been hooked up to a drip, said that she "wouldn't it upon her worst enemy". "I have been so ill I cannot tell you. My workload has been a lot, but I've had a virus. I've been really, really, really unwell," she told OK!.
"I literally had to film up in Wales and I was very unwell. I had to call the doctor out and the doctor said to me, 'Look I'm going to give you medicine but I actually think this is a virus and it's not going to work.'"
She said that she first started to feel poorly at the beginning of August, but tried to push through as she had filming commitments. She's currently filming More Than Daffs and Taffs in Wales, which will see her explore her Welsh heritage.
Despite trying to continue as normal, she said that her "body was having none of it". "Basically I've been on drips. Rami nearly had to take me to the hospital on Saturday night because I was collapsing on the floor," she added.
"Literally, it was really really bad whatever I've had, it's been awful."
