Gemma Collins has shared an emotional clip of her seriously ill parents as they battle the coronavirus.
The 39-year-old TOWIE star begged her fans to “stay home” amid lockdown and new Tier 4 rules in the UK as she’s “petrified” for her mum Joan and dad Alan.
James Argents’ ex revealed yesterday that her parents have tested positive for Covid-19.
In a bid to encourage fans to stay home and follow rules, she shared a video of them which was taken last year.
In it, Alan and Joan can be seen hugging in a restaurant as a man waits on their table.
