Gemma Collins received some saddening news on the series debut of Gemma Collins: Diva on Lockdown this evening, after learning her dream house had fallen through.
The 39-year-old reality star had been living with her brother for several months, but after several failed househunting attempts, she managed to find her ideal pad.
Gemma spent the day with a bathroom salesman, planning a luxurious new loo complete with gold taps and crystal detailing.
On the drive home from the showroom, she received a call from her estate agent and was forced to pull over to hear him out.
Sadly, the estate agent explained that the offer had fallen through, as the nation prepared to go into lockdown.
