Gemma Collins has shared the worrying news that both of her parents are "extremely unwell" with coronavirus.
The spread of the disease has escalated in recent weeks due to a newly-discovered, fast-moving variant - and as a result, large parts of the country have moved into new tier four restrictions.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday afternoon, The GC urged her followers to stick to the new rules and opened up about her parents' battle with the illness.
"Please please please take notice of the guidelines ! Both my parents are extremely unwell with Covid 19 !" she wrote.
"Seeing my dad cry which he never does ! Was a shock and say he would rather be dead then experience everything he is going through right now... this has totally wiped him out and it's heartbreaking
"my mum also is extremely extremely unwell with Covid also, this is real ! And please please take notice and keep your loved ones SAFE. it really is petrifying.
"what a difference a year makes .... STAY HOME !!! STAY SAFE !!! SAVE LIFES without your health !!! You got nothing !!!!"
