but what was even better was having the confidence to not filter or edit my pics and just embrace me.

Gemma has showcased a number of glamorous designer looks throughout her holiday with partner Rami Hawash.

The reality TV queen has recently shed three stone thanks to a mixture of gruelling workouts and a lifestyle overhaul after doctors told her she could struggle conceiving.

The star previously said of her weight loss journey:  “I’ve got a fabulous doctor. I can definitely have a child, he just told me it would be easier when I’m not carrying as much weight.

“He gave me the confidence not to panic about it. He told me to lose a few stone and it will help me.

“I am in a much better head space. It is easy to yo-yo when your life is all over the place. 

“Things are a lot calmer now — I’m cooking my own meals at home, riding my bike in the countryside and enjoying long walks. I am established. My career has gone above and beyond.”
