It's officially Christmas at the Gemma Collins household, as the star has decked her £1.3M Essex home out with a range of festive decorations.
Looking like a true winter wonderland, the former TOWIE star's sprawling garden is now covered in stunning fairy lights, with a selection of lights even making the shape of a group of reindeers.
A giant Christmas tree completes the garden, with another tinsel-clad tree sitting inside the home. Sharing the transformation with her 2.2M followers, the star captioned: "It’s OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS at the GC RESIDENCE THANK YOU @rickypaulflowers I can feel the magic".
Close pals and The X Factor duo Jedward were big fans of the decorations, as they commented: "Wow it’s a winter wonderland".
It seems that Gemma, 42, has had a change of heart, as she recently revealed to OK! that she wouldn't be celebrating Christmas this festive season.
“I’m not interested in Christmas this year, I won’t be buying anyone gifts and have asked people not to buy them for me. We have all got enough,” said Gemma in November.
Explaining why she’s gone decidedly “Grinch”, she added: “There are a few reasons. Firstly, I don’t like the culling of turkeys, then I’m also a humanitarian and don’t like what’s going on in the world at the minute. Finally, I’m fortunate enough that it’s Christmas every day for me, it’s like it’s my birthday every day. So it’s about giving back.
“People out there are starving and we can’t just ignore it. The real message about Christmas is spending quality time with your family and appreciating those moments. People need to learn the art of having nothing and being happy. ”
But turning things around, Gemma thanked flower designer Ricky Paul Flowers for 'saving the day' as she shared some clips of her decorations to Instagram.
Going into the new year, the star, who is engaged to partner Rami Hawash, is looking to begin her fertility journey, after facing a series of setbacks in her long fertility battle.
Gemma has been keeping her followers updated on her conception journey, previously saying she "can’t get pregnant", after admitting she’s desperate to have a baby.
Now Gemma has new hope after Gordon Ramsay's wife Tanya welcomed their sixth child at the beginning of November.
Speaking to Mail Online last month, Gemma said: "The Tana Ramsay news was the greatest thing to wake up to. Incredible. It really made me think positively about my future and kind of took the pressure off. I don't think anyone knew she was pregnant, so it was a lovely surprise, but I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw it."
Gemma added: "This is amazing news for me. I'm starting my fertility journey within the next couple of weeks. I'm going to a clinic so watch these cards and get ready for me, honey."
