Gemma Collins shows off Christmas garden makeover at £1.3million mansion as she surprises stepson

GEMMA Collins has showed off her impressive Christmas garden makeover at her £1.3million mansion as she surprised her stepson.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to her Instagram stories to reveal she had surprised Tristan, four, with a visit from the Grinch.

Gemma, 41, showed off her icy lawn and snow-topped fir trees in her garden as she snapped Tristan hugging the character.

She revealed her impressive white snow-themed Christmas arches on the door of her chic Essex property before heading outside.

The Diva Forever star also added a touch of festive magic to her law with two light-up reindeer statues among the trees.

"Making my little munchkins Christmas fun," Gemma wrote as she snapped a photo of Tristan meeting the Grinch outside.

The youngster was dressed in Grinch-covered Christmas pyjamas, wrapping up warm in a grey reflective coat.

Tristan was then seen going in for a hug with the character, before the Grinch headed into their home for some festive fun.

Gemma rounded up the festivities by posing for a snap with the masked man, looking make-up free and glowing.

"Happy Sunday," Gemma captioned a post showing the character up close, which she hired with a donation to the Air Ambulance.

Her fans flooded the comments section to gush with approval over the sweet surprise for Tristan, calling it "amazing" and "iconic".

Gemma also added a video of the Grinch running round the garden to her Instagram stories, showing it sneaking behind a huge horse statue.

The Grinch then headed inside to gift the children, who also included Gemma's nephew Hayden, some chocolates.

It comes after Gemma showed off her enormous Christmas tree - after claiming she was "cutting back" to save money.

She said on her GC Podcast she “doesn’t feel Christmassy,” amid the pressure of the cost of living crisis.

The star told her fans: “I’ve got to just talk about one thing that’s going on. I don’t feel Christmassy. I don’t know why I don’t feel Christmassy.

“I’ve been watching the Christmas movies, I’ve been eating the mince pies and I’ve even put in my phone for Santa Claus to give me a call. I’ve done it all.”

Gemma pulled out all the stops in 2021 to make sure that everyone had a brilliant Christmas, giving her home a huge makeover.
