Captioning a photo of them sitting together smiling, and dressed smartly in suits, Rami told fans: "I have no words.

"You was the BEST DAD in the world. Today heaven gained the best Angel #restinpeace."

His followers were quick to flood the comments section to offer their condolences.

Gemma - who is planning their wedding - was among the first to share a message.

Sharing a sweet memory, she recalled how Rami's dad loved to watch a classic British sitcom, writing: "Lovely man Ram. I never forget how he loved to watch Mirander."

Her former Towie co-star Saffron Lempriere also posted, writing: "So sorry for your loss," alongside a red heart.

Another follower penned: "So sorry to hear this sad news. Your father’s spirit lives and surrounds you all forever."

And one more said: "Oh Rami, this is so sad. Sending you all my love always."

Their loss comes as Gemma and Rami are due to walk down the aisle.

Gemma and Rami were first engaged 11 years ago but they split, and later rekindled their romance in lockdown after a chance meeting at a music concert.

Last week the former Towie star bravely opened up about difficult times in her life in a trailer for the new episode of the Everything I Know About Me podcast.

Tragically, she has suffered three miscarriages.

One happened in the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown when she was in a relationship with ex-boyfriend James Argent.

There was more heartache in 2012 when Gemma miscarried and gave birth on her landing, something she understandably still finds difficult talking about.

Speaking on her podcast, she said: "I actually gave birth to a child, sadly, and basically the child was four months old.

"Basically I had a miscarriage but obviously the baby was formed and it died in front of me.

"I had to go to the hospital and my mum was there. I can remember my mum being really upset, I was in shock, I was upset.

"That was really a shocking moment for me. But this is what I’m saying, I can talk about it now. Things sometimes are not meant to be."

RENEWED HOPE

Gemma's baby hopes were given a boost in December when Gordon Ramsay's wife Tana, 49, gave birth to their sixth child.

She 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."
