Gemma Collins shows off HUGE back garden so big it looks like a park – with a massive elephant statue worth £22k
GEMMA Collins never does anything by halves and that includes her impressive garden with a £22k elephant statue.
The TV personality, 43, bought her “dream £1.3m Essex home” in January 2021 and has been working on it ever since.
Gemma has taken a no expense spared approach and splashed out on pink furniture to spruce up her pad.
And the exteriors are equally spectacular with a huge lawn, seating area and a stunning waterfall display.
She shared a clip of her entertaining best pals and former X Factor stars John and Edward, who were seen enjoying a dip in the hot tub.
They said: “We are here in the garden, the oasis, the retreat.
“London life was getting a bit too hectic, we had to come to Gemma rehab.
“So lucky to have Gemma as our friend, she’s got her own hot tub. What more could you want?”
She then showed off her elephant and great white heron statues in the garden.
Gemma’s fiance Rami Hawash then joined them as they spent the evening relaxing around the outdoor dining table, complete with light centerpieces and a comfy cushioned seating area.
The following morning they enjoyed a Dolce and Gabbana orange cake and tea served from an “expensive” but leaking teapot.
Edwards commented: “It’s the most designer breakfast I’ve ever had in my life.”
The Dancing on Ice legend often shares snaps of her property.
Gemma snapped up the glass-fronted open-plan home for an eye-watering £1.3m after boosting her earnings in lockdown.
Since moving into the property, she has slowly been adding her touch to it and loves sharing snaps and videos on Instagram.
Last year Gemma told The Sun that she is eyeing up a bigger second home because her £1.3million mansion is “full to the brim”.
The reality queen has said buying a second home is now on her bucket list as she prepares to try for a baby with fiancé Rami Hawash.
And the star, who recently defended her millionaire status, said: “To be honest with you I will get married but it’s not a rush, it’s just a bit of paper at the end of the day.
“I know people who have been together for years, then lasted six months. I’ve got other priorities.
“The baby is more important at the minute. I need to buy a new house, I’m already bursting out of my Essex home.
“I need to move house, or find another house before I get married. It is already filled up to the rafters. So I think I will.”
As soon as Gemma moved in she started buying bits for her new home.
In one video the star showed off a huge sparkly horse and hinted that she plans on getting a real one in the future.
“Until I get the real thing, this has to do. It’s soooo beautiful in my house,” she told her 2.1million followers.
Another video showed two adorable Miffy rabbit lamps placed next to one of her birthday cards from her 40th birthday celebrations earlier this month.
She captioned the post: “I love the Miffy.”
Gemma’s mission to find herself the perfect property hasn’t been easy.
In 2020 the bubbly blonde broke down in tears on her show Diva On Lockdown when her previous house sale fell through.
But she was left over the moon when she finally landed her current home.
