Gemma Collins dons a patterned swimsuit as she jumps into a swimming pool

She’s had a busy few days, dealing with an explosive break-up and announcing that she’s the new face of budget airline Wizz Air.

Yet Gemma Collins put the drama behind her as she enjoyed a fun pool day at her brother’s lavish home in Essex on Wednesday following her split from James Argent. 

The TOWIE star, 39, took to Instagram to reveal that she was going to crash her nephew Hayden’s party after inviting some of his friends over.

Fun in the sun! Gemma Collins put the drama behind her as she enjoyed a fun pool day at her brother’s lavish home in Essex on Wednesday following her split from James Argent 

Gemma then filmed herself interrupting the gathering as she joked: ‘My little nephew has got friends round. I’m going to jump out at him, “Oh God, I can’t take the stress.”‘

The reality star then walked to the pool area and declared: ‘Alright boys, I’m coming in. What’s this music? Is this grime? Turn it off, only joking, turn it up!’

Gemma, who wore a strapless brown patterned swimsuit, then showed off her fun side as she playfully jumped into the swimming pool.

The TOWIE star then posted videos of herself dancing and relaxing in the swimming pool as she motivated her followers with: ‘There’s a lot of stress, people are all a bit stressed out at the minute. It’s all a bit too much, just chill.

‘We are coming out of lockdown, let’s just chill, let’s have some fun.’ 

It comes after Gemma reflected on her ‘purely positive’ lockdown time in a chat with MailOnline. 

Gemma has shed around three stone during the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw her living with her brother, sister-in-law and their children.

Talking about her weight loss, she said: ‘It’s no secret that I had skinny jabs in lockdown. But now things are easing and we can travel again, it’s nice to be able to travel feeling more confident.

‘I’m wearing bikinis for the first time in ages!’ 

Gemma’s stunning snap comes just a day after she announced her new job as the face of Wizz Air – which she reportedly signed a six figure deal for.  

Sharing her thrilling news to Instagram on Friday, Gemma uploaded a mock-up of the airline’s pink aeroplane with her picture plastered on the side.

And while her career may be flying high, the same couldn’t be said for her love life after having recently endured a painful split from James Argent. 

Last week she announced her split by posting break up texts on her Instagram account in which James called her a ‘hippo’ and a ‘fat f**k.’ 

Gemma has since apologised for releasing explosive text messages he had sent her, while friends have urged James, 32, to ‘sort his life out’.

In a screenshot obtained by MailOnline, the Diva On Lockdown star contacted her fellow reality star in the early hours of the morning.

She wrote: ‘I am sorry about putting the messages up, I was just so hurt you suggested an open relationship, it didn’t look like a joke when you typed it.  

‘I was so upset but I shouldn’t have put the messages up, that was anger on my part which was wrong. I am so sorry about that x.’ (sic)

The GC had originally posted the fierce row that led to her breaking up with her on-off beau on social media.   

In the texts, the musician called his partner a ‘hippo’ and a ‘fat f**k’, after she suggested that he had bought another woman dinner and not her.’
