Gemma announces heartbreaking family death

Gemma’s confession comes not long after she made a heartbreaking announcement about a family death.

Taking to Instagram last week, Gemma announced the death of her Auntie Shelia.

“Today we said goodbye to Auntie Shelia. The kindest most caring lady and eldest relative we have,” Gemma wrote.

She then said: “After almost 93 years her body became tired. Now at peace and reunited with Uncle Peter and many more relatives, I’m sure they’ll be having a celebration together just as we did today at her send-off.

“As sad as funerals are, it’s always lovely having the family together having a good laugh and a good buffet!”
