Gemma Collins gives fans a tour of her incredible Christmas themed garden with animals at £1.3m Essex mansion

GEMMA Collins has delighted her social media followers with a tour of her incredible Christmas garden transformation.

The 40-year-old shared a minute-long video to Instagram last night which showcased her sprawling back garden lit up with hundred of dazzling fairy lights.

Starting the tour, the ITV star first showed off her wooden pergola which was wrapped in dazzling lights, red bows and festive pine garlands.

Elsewhere at her £1.3million Essex property, Gemma's pine trees and boxwood spiral trees were also wrapped in yards of led lights.

Adding a touch of wildlife to the area, the reality TV star had life-sized light up reindeer and a giant elephant as well as clutters of dazzling snowballs.

Captioning the festive post, Gemma wrote: "It’s beginning to feel magical 💫☃️💫 the spirit is in the air ❄️☃️❄️🌲

"Thank you to everyone who has worked to make the magic come alive @thefestivegroup @emlouflowers 

"☃️❄️☃️❄️🎄🎁🎁wishing you all a very merry magical Christmas 🤶🎁🎄😘".

After sharing the video, Gemma was inundated with comments from her fans who were left astounded by the transformation.

One penned: "This is AMAZING!!! 💜💜🎄🎅🏼❄️".

"Beautiful Gem ❤️ merry Christmas to you all xxx," another shared. "Magical ��".

A fourth added: "Wow 🤩 amazing Gemma, so Christmasy and cosy. I love it 🥰 I’m imagining me sitting in your garden with a hot chocolate or a baileys enjoying this view.. 🎄❤️".

Gemma's garden tour comes after she revealed the famous reality star pal who'll be her maid of honour at her "huge wedding" to boyfriend Rami Harwash.

The reality star, who was engaged to him eight years ago but then split, said she is already dreaming up her big day after admitting they are trying for a baby.

Speaking on the GC podcast, she said: “Dawn Ward is going to be my maid of honour at my wedding, our Dawny. She doesn’t know it yet, Dawn will you be my maid of honour?

"Rami doesn’t even know he’s marrying me yet, I can tell him in good time. The GC’s wedding is going to be big.”

Gemma and the 47-year-old Salford born star have been friends for years, with Gemma even making an appearance on Real Housewives of Cheshire.

The Essex native ditched the streets of Brentwood for her appearance on the ITVBe show in 2019, during which time Dawn counselled Gemma through her split with James Argent.

The Diva is also planning to have at least three weddings when she ties the knot, despite the fact he hasn’t proposed.

She said: “I love a good wedding.

“I’m probably going to have about three weddings. I’ll have a real one, a showbiz one and... well to be honest my wedding will go on for about a year.”
