Smug Gemma Collins says she ‘called it’ after snubbing Spain trip over isolation fears
The Essex diva had been due to fly out to Marbella to party with her Essex pals but decided not to go at the very last minute over coronavirus fears
Gemma Collins has joked she ‘called it’ after Brits returning from Spain have been ordered to isolate for two weeks on their return.
The sudden decision made by the Foreign Office last night has been met with fury and confusion from holiday makers. The government confirmed all travellers from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will be affected by the new guidelines.
Gemma could have been one of those forced to stay indoors as she was due to fly out to Marbella this week – but made a last minute decision not to go over coronavirus fears.
The Essex diva had been planning to party with her Towie pals at the popular celeb destination and even packed her case, but as concerns grew about the number of coronavirus cases she made the now wise decision to call her trip off.
Pals including Elliot Wright, Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright and her ex James ‘Arg’ Argent did all fly over to Spain and will now have to isolate on their return.
In the wake of the announcement, Gemma took to Instagram and shared a link to a Mirror article explaining the new guidelines.
She wrote alongside it: “The GC called it. Keep safe everyone and don’t break quarantine when home think of others and keep everyone safe #quarantine#keepeveryonesafe ”
Gemma then shared the same post to Instagram along with a mock shock face emoji of herself.
While the rest of her pals are facing up to the latest isolation news, care-free Gemma headed out to a slap up meal at Smith’s restaurant in Essex.
Earlier in the week, after her Marbella trip was called off, Gemma shared snaps and videos of herself enjoying her nephew’s pool party as she lapped up the warm weather in the UK instead.
Gemma was looking very body confident as she paraded around the garden in a strapless swimsuit.
After shedding a reported three stone in the last year, the GC couldn’t resist being centre of attention as she dive bombed into the pool.
The reality star didn’t look too down following her split from on-off boyfriend Arg.
