Gemma Collins has been grappling with "a lot of stress" lately, following several family tragedies, including a dire warning from doctors about her mother's health.

The ex-'TOWIE' sensation was heartbroken after being informed that her mum, Joan Collins, would not be resuscitated in the event of a cardiac arrest. Thankfully, Gemma's mum is currently doing "amazing" but it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Gemma, who also dealt with the sudden death of her fiancé Rami Hawash's father.

Opening up to The Sun, she shared: "I've had a lot of stress the last couple of weeks. My mum was suddenly taken into hospital and I was told she could die."

"They would not resuscitate her if she went into cardiac arrest. So imagine that, you know, I'm in the hospital having been out for dinner the day before, and then the next day I'm like, 'Wow', so that was a massive shock."

"Rami's father passed away, which was also a massive shock." Gemma faced more sorrow when her chicken passed away, and there was additional distress when her dog was bitten.

She continued: "Then someone bit my dog and then my chicken died. It's a lot to deal with for one person in a week. And you know, I still have to go to work."

Last month, Gemma disclosed another alarming incident when she was told to "prepare for the worst" after her mother stopped breathing and was rushed to intensive care.

She shared on her Instagram Stories: "So last week I had the shock of my life when my mum stopped breaking and 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."

Meanwhile, Gemma revealed she is taking part in BBC's Who Do You Think We Are? with an announcement on Instagram. She wrote: "Who Do You Think You Are? The secret is out …..to be asked to do this show was an honor and what I discovered was out of this world and finally know my roots ….

"To be part of such an iconic show and find my long lost family members has been so HEALING. Returns to BBC One this summer for series 21. It’s the 20th-anniversary of the hit TV ancestry TV show."
