Gemma Collins thought she was having a heart attack before calling ambulance to her home

Gemma Collins has shared an update after revealing that she had been tended to by paramedics last night.

The reality TV star, 42, took to Instagram this morning to tell her followers that she had received medical attention, seemingly at home, for an undisclosed health concern.

She has now shared details about the experience, with the TOWIE alum saying that she had suspected she was having a heart attack, though fortunately that wasn't the case.

Discussing the situation in a video uploaded to the platform this afternoon, she said: "Hi guys. Just to say thank you for all your well wishes. I had a terrible shock last night."

Gemma continued in the video: "I had terrible chest pains. I thought I was having a heart attack. Anyway, thank god, it wasn't that. I will go into it all later but I just want to say thank you for your well wishes.

"The NHS were absolutely incredible. I had y'know nothing but such a great experience with them, and y'know I just really hope they get all their pay rises, cause they just work so hard."

"I'm just very happy to not have died from a heart attack last night. But, onwards and upwards. I'm at work. I will report back later," she further told her followers earlier.
