Gemma Collins’ ‘new mystery man’ is actually Harry Derbidge’s ex-boyfriend as she posts cryptic pics from holiday

THE identity of Gemma Collins' mystery man has finally been revealed.

The Only Way is Essex star has been teasing her fans on social media with pictures and video of her hunky male companion sunbathing and dancing while on holiday together. 

But any followers who were hoping the 36-year-old had finally found her dream man to settle down and have babies with will be disappointed, as the man is actually Rhys Alan Smith, an ex-boyfriend of former Towie star Harry Derbidge.

The couple dated back in 2013, but Rhys has certainly transformed his appearance since then, bulking up, growing a beard and changing his eyebrows.

Rhys lives in Tenerife, and Gemma flew out to to visit him for a few days in the sun.

Gemma first flashed a picture of her holiday companion on Friday, showing off his toned and tanned six pack.

Fans of the reality star were left with jaws dropped and heads being scratched when confronted with his buff body, desperately trying to figure out who he was.

Photographing the gentleman in a way so his face was obscured, Gemma acted completely nonchalant about her beach date who was laid out beside her and her fedora hat.

“Lovely day today #happyholidays #holidaytime,” she wrote simply in the caption.

She followed it up over the weekend with a video of Rhys dancing by the pool in a pair of blue shorts.

Standing in front of Gemma in a pair of blue shorts, the muscular man gives it his all as he starts gyrating to the music.

Gemma shouts: “Yeah baby,” as his muscles ripple and he flexes his biceps for the camera.

Her fans loved the video, with one writing: “What a body!”

Another commented: “I could sit there watching him all day.”
