Former The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins has said she was sent a note by a stalker who claimed to be at her mother’s funeral.

The 45-year-old thanked her friends and fans for “holding me up with kindness” in August, after she announced the death of her mother, Joan, who had been suffering from pneumonia.
