GEMMA Collins has revealed she’s been “very poorly” as she shared a snap of a tube in her arm.
It comes after the self-confessed diva, 40, revealed she was battling a mystery illness last week.
Gemma admitted that she felt like she has got “some sort of virus” which had “knocked her for six”, so decided to sweat out all the toxins in her £4,000 home sauna.
The former Towie star hasn’t been very active on her socials since, but this evening gave fans a quick update of how she’s been feeling.
The reality favourite uploaded a snap of a tube attached to her arm with the caption: “Sorry been quiet guys, I have been very poorly but I am feeling like I am back on the mend.”
She went on to thank the health care professionals who have been looking after her.
Gemma added: “Thank you to my lovely private nurse Nena for helping me, and my lovely @sportiedoc.”
The telly star was later visited by her dad Alan who kindly made some dinner and did the washing up for her.
She also took to her Story to praise everyone who has been supporting her every step of the way during her ill health.
Gemma wrote: “Slowly slowly getting there.
“Thank you to everyone who has bared with me.”
Over the past few months the GC has been embracing a new healthy lifestyle filled with lots of exercise and good food.
But earlier this month she had to slow down her routine as she battled a bad week of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Days later she started feeling unwell, but reassured fans she hadn’t contracted coronavirus.
Gemma confessed: “Been so unwell last few days, I can’t tell you it’s not Covid, but deffo some sort of virus.
“Literally knocked me for six and I feel so stressed as I got so much to do but I just have to allow it.
“The most important person is me and my health so I’ve just got to allow it.”
The bubbly blonde later shared another photo of her sweating out all of the bad stuff.
She told fans: “Literally sweating it out as I need to be back on my feet.
“He he I’m so impatient the best thing in my house is my sauna.”
Gemma has nearly lost four stone in recent months and her success has inspired her to release an app so fans can follow her plans.
The star has also taken up running and hired a personal trainer in a bid to shed the pounds.
Gemma’s mystery illness comes after she revealed she lost her virginity aged 18.
She opened up about her sex life in a recent episode of her podcast when an anonymous listener said they were embarrassed about not having been in a serious relationship aged 21.
The Diva Forever star told listeners: “So, hun, listen, it is absolutely fine.
“I didn’t lose my virginity till I was 18 years old. I was older. Again if you lose it before there’s nothing wrong with that.

“I’m basically really feel for you, hun because you’re thinking there’s something wrong with you but it’s absolutely fine.
“Wait until you’re ready, wait until it just happens. Someone is going to love you for you.”
Meanwhile in Gemma’s current love life she was recently seen cuddling up with ex-fiance Rami Hawash.
However the star has shot down rumours about their budding romance and said that it’s “nothing serious”.
