GEMMA Collins soaked up the sun and sipped booze with her family yesterday as she made the most of her incredible Essex mansion.

The 40-year-old star splashed out on a summer party for her parents and pals with piles of meat on the BBQ, loads of booze on tap and fun in her very own pool.

The lucky reality star was surrounded by her nearest and dearest - and she looked so happy as she filmed their antics on Instagram.

At one point she went cooled off in the 28C heat by going for a dip while posing in a floral swimsuit.

Gemma wrote alongside one of her snaps: "Hot girl summer".

And her followers heaped praise on her, as one gushed: "What a babe 🔥."

Gorgeous Gemma knows there's nothing better for bringing out one's summer mood than a decent cocktail and hired a company to serve them all day.

Gemma's dad Alan, 73, was guest of honour and looked fantastic after his Covid battle earlier this year.

Her mum Joan was also spotted in her videos on Instagram as Gemma's nephews could be seen playing in her huge garden.

Gemma snapped up her new home earlier this year after shopping around for months for her dream pad.

The Towie star snapped up the glass-fronted, open plan home for an eye-watering £1.3million after boosting her earnings in lockdown thanks to a lucrative clothing brand and solo reality TV series.

The house boasts high ceilings supported by wooden beams, a spectacular spiral light feature, and dozens of windows including floor to ceiling glass windows that let in plenty of light.

On one side of the huge open plan living room lies two grey velvet sofas and a blue velvet armchair, glass coffee tables, and a glossy white cabinet with potted pants.

In the middle of the room, opposite wide patio doors, is a modern pine dining table that can seat up to ten people, with benches on either side instead of chairs.

Yet there is still enough space for a vast blue and cream kitchen, as well as a kitchen island, with cabinets stacked high and spanning three walls.

It is certainly a house fit for a Diva!
