Gemma Collins' £1.3 million home transformed as star goes all out for Halloween

Gemma Collins is never one to do things by halves, and Halloween is no exception.

The Only Way Is Essex star, 41, is clearly getting into the spooky season as she decked out her mansion with tons of decorations, from spiders to skeletons and everything in between.

Gemma, who bought her Essex mansion – dubbed the Buckingham Palace of Essex – for £1.3 million in January last year, has turned her home into the ultimate haunted house.

She took to Instagram this week where she gave fans a front-row look at the transformation, excitedly writing: ‘Happy weekend 🎃 to all my peeps witchy or non witchy 🎃 im ready for the SPOOKY 👻 shenanigans 👻.’

In a series of Instagram stories, Gemma gave her 2.2 million fans a tour of her sprawling property, starting with her front door, which had been adorned by a skeleton knocker that belted out an evil laugh.

(We’re sure the postman will enjoy that one every morning.)


The Towie favourite also showcased a genuinely horrifying-looking skeleton with glowing red eyes and a tiara made of black roses, along with a fishnet veil covered in spiders.

A cracked baby-doll skull that looks like the most haunted thing in the world was up next, followed by a ghostly banshee-like creature that we’ll be having nightmares about for around 10 years.

As if that wasn’t enough, there were yet more spooky door knockers, as well as a massive felt spider hanging from the ivy adorning her walls.

And for good measure, a decaying witch with blinding white eyes and scraggly hair letting out an ear-splitting laugh.

The horror decorations may not be for everyone, but plenty of The GC’s fans found them fascinating, with some even taking to the comment section of Gemma’s post to ask if they could visit.

It comes as the reality favourite recently teased details of her upcoming wedding to fiance Rami Hawash, who she began dating in 2011.

While the pair split in 2014, they reconciled and announced their engagement for the second time late last year.

Appearing on BBC’s The Big Breakfast in September, Gemma revealed she has finally found her dream wedding venue for her destination wedding.

‘I finally found the venue, I’m really excited,’ she gushed.

‘It is going to be magical, it’s going to be everything, everyone is going to expect basically.’

She added that her dress was going to be all ‘Greek lace’ to tie in with the destination, before sharing: ‘It is going to be unbelievable.’

‘It’s going to be whiter than white, pure white,’ Gemma added.

And iff the effort Gemma’s put in to her Halloween decorations is anything to go by, her wedding is guaranteed to be an absolutely lavish affair.
