Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Gemma wrote: "So last week I had the shock of my life when my mum stopped breathing, I called an ambulance and was told to prepare for the worst and would I like to resuscitate her. It's been extremely tough but she is stable now and hopefully she will be much better soon. No day is promised so make every day count."

Last year, Gemma also revealed her mum had a health scare when she found a lump between her breast and armpit. Thankfully, a few weeks later, Joan was given the all clear having been told that the lump was not in fact cancerous.
Speaking to The Sun, Gemma said: "It was over the phone. I was in the back of a taxi in London and I was like, ‘Are you all right, mum? Where are you?’ — as we say every day, ten times a day. She said, ‘Ah I didn’t want to tell you, but I’ve had a lump in my breast. I was like, ‘What?’, and she said, ‘But it’s fine I’ve got the all-clear’. I was like, ‘Oh, my God. Why didn’t you tell me?'"
Joan has also suffered health woes in the past due to her rheumatoid arthritis, which got so bad to the point that Gemma even feared she would die. "I always tried to be really strong, so when I was with her I was happy, upbeat, like 'Come on mum, you’re gonna be alright!'," she previously shared. "Then I’d leave the house, get in my car and cry for hours... There were moments where me, my dad and my brother said, 'Mum’s going to die'."
