Former The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins has revealed that she's headed off on a sun-soaked getaway to Dubai.

The 41 year old, who recently revealed that she's partnered up with high street fashion brand New Look, took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her holiday so far.

Gemma posed in the swimming pool at the lavish Palazzo Versace Hotel, as she soaked up the sun in a bright pink swimsuit and oversized sunglasses.

She grinned for the camera as she excitedly told her 2.2 million followers: "Girls just wanna have SUN I will be shining brightly and unapologetically for the foreseeable future".

The star's fans were quick to comment on the stunning snap, with one person saying: "So deserved enjoy gemma x".

Another wrote: "Love this," as others added multiple lovestruck emojis under the post.

Gemma could be seen preparing for her luxurious getaway on Instagram the day before, as she underwent a "hydration facial".

The TOWIE star took to her Stories to reveal that she was enjoying a facial at Orocum Clinic in London, writing: "So important to have a good hydration facial for this time of year," alongside a sun emoji.

She added: "Cleans and closes pores and tighten the skin".

Gemma's Dubai holiday comes after she recently opened up about her fiancé Rami Hawash's eye injury, revealing that he's on the mend.

Rami, 48, was involved in an accident at work that left his eye badly damaged and in need of surgery, and while he is currently recovering, doctors aren't completely sure yet what the extent of the injury will be.

She told how the dad-of-one had been left in "excruciating" pain following an emergency operation, and spoke about how she has been caring for him in-between being on stage in the musical Chicago.

"We hope that he’s going to get the sight back in his eye, but I did reassure him that if he went blind or if he was going to lose his eye, that I’m still going to be with him because you don’t think about all those things," she toldMetro.

"As a man, he’s a good-looking man and he’s had a shocking accident and we still don’t know if he’s going to gain full sight in his eye, plus the eye has dropped down so it’s changed aesthetically.

"But I said don’t worry, I love him with an eye, without an eye, whether or not he gets his sight back. So there’s been a lot going on emotionally as well, but we make sure to support one another."

Last week, Gemma shared two photos of Rami's injury up close as she explained that she'd had a "bad week" of sleepless nights over her partner since he returned home.

In the pictures Gemma posted on Instagram Stories, Rami is seen barely able to keep his injured eye open with it appearing severely bruised, bloodied and swollen.
