Captioning the post “causing a heatwave”, she told fans to stay safe in the sun by applying sun cream and drinking lots of water.
In the short clip, Gemma said: “Good morning hunnies. I just want to give you a message. Make sure you put your sun cream on. Make sure you hydrate yourself.”
As the camera panned out to reveal what she was wearing, she continued: “But most importantly make sure you’re rocking my swimwear. Yeah baby!”
In true GC fashion, she flaunted her figure with arms outstretched as she worked the camera before giving a little twirl and shimmy for followers.
She signed off the post strutting towards the camera, adding: "At New Look. It’s all online now girls. It is the ultimate swimwear for all that candy."
