Gemma Collins makes sweet confession about being a stepmum to her fiancé Rami Hawash's son Tristan, seven, after revealing wedding details
The former TOWIE star is fully involved in life of her fiancé Rami's, 50, son who is now seven years old.
In a new interview this weekend she told how this summer she has been looking after him amid the school holidays and instead of going on lavish trips abroad has been focused on 'being a stepmum'.
She told The Mirror: 'I've been busy being a step mum, because obviously I've got Tristan now. We've been just doing family, normal, kiddy, friendly things.'
'I spent more time in [children's trampoline park] Jump Street than I've had hot dinners. I've been on the PlayStation, you name it, I been doing it.
'Parks, doggy walks, I just been being a step mum to be honest. I wish I could say to you, I'm sat in Mykonos drinking a Pina Colada, but I'm not. I have been being stepmother duties but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've loved it.'
She said she was fully enjoying the summer holidays and was making the most of it all as 'time is precious'.
It comes after Gemma finally confirmed her wedding plans – and has revealed she aims to make it bigger than Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's $50 million extravaganza.
The TOWIE legend, 44, said she and fiancé Rami will wed in 2026, after being told by her astrologer it was the perfect year to get hitched.
The pair got engaged for the second time four years ago, and Gemma admitted the countdown was officially on – even if the planning hasn't quite gone to schedule.
She confessed she hadn't booked the venue yet and could even leave the finer details until the last minute, but promised the bash would be magical.
Gemma went on to explain that she wanted a woodland theme with a fairytale twist, inspired by her love of Disney's Maleficent and was hoping for a 'mythical and boho' atmosphere.
She added that Irish twin singers Jedward could help to bring the fantasy vision to life and she would have a starring role when she ties the knot.
Gemma and Jedward have been friends for years with the Irish twins - who first found fame on The X Factor - regularly travelling to Essex to see her.
They even spent Christmas and New Year together two years ago.
Rami got down on one knee in the Maldives, after whisking Gemma off on a birthday holiday, which she admits took her completely by surprise.
He planned a romantic sushi dinner before telling her to look out the window, where he laid lights on the beach that read: 'Will you marry me?'
Rami set up an outdoor seating area and flew out hundreds of roses so petals could cover the sands where they were sitting, with the ring in a shell.
Gemma gushed that it was 'beautiful' and admitted she 'had no idea' what was coming and didn't have any makeup on or even a bra, but added: 'I wouldn't change a thing.'
Rami popped the question with a huge diamond ring, that The Daily Mail revealed is worth in excess of a staggering £200,000.
Gemma has known Rami for over ten years after meeting the businessman back in 2011 and they have been engaged twice before.
He had originally proposed by placing the ring in a Christmas pudding in 2013 when they first start dating.
However, four weeks later, Gemma had called off the engagement.
But the pair then reunited during lockdown, seven years after breaking off their original engagement.

It saw the Essex lad, 24, pour his heart out to 33-year-old Elma about how things came to an end between the pair. During the emotional conversation, Elma confessed that things had come to an end between them on text message but Sammy was left confused by her messages. In the heart-to-heart, Sammy confessed to Ella: "I don't think you realised how much I did, and still do, like you. "I would have done anything. "One of my favourite things to do is take the person you love out and have a fun date night, that's what I love to do." As emotions ran high, Elma could be seen sobbing as she dabbed her eyes with a napkin. Addressing his issues with her, Sammy said to her: "You didn't ever say it was done in the text so I didn't know what was going on." Elma replied: "I said, 'it was a shame...'." Sammy then said: "Yeah, you said 'it was a shame' so in my head, I'm like, does that mean it's done?

"I didn't know it was done and I never saw you again until we saw each other at the airport and you were like, 'why are you being awkward', and that's why." As Sammy insisted that the messages from Elma weren't clear, he could be seen on the verge of tears as he turned away from the cameras. Taking a big breath, he insisted he "needed a minute" before he broke down into floods of tears. Speaking through tears, he added: "Anyone that knows me knows that I am not an emotional person and so it's like when I do get like this... I don't know what to f***ing do." He concluded that he didn't know "how to cope" in the aftermath of the break-up as Elma agreed to give him time to let him come to terms with his emotions following their chat. She revealed that she didn't want him to not be a part of her life to which he agreed but it was clear that he needed some time away to process his feelings. 5 He poured his heart out to Elma Credit: ITV 5 Elma was left overwhelmed during the chat Credit: ITV

Watch the moment TOWIE stars come to blows and are pulled off each other in explosive showdown
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Only Way is Essex cast found themselves locked in an almighty group row as they headed to Portugal for the first episode of the new series. Just hours into their first day, a huge row erupted between the cast which led to a number of the stars being held back as the confrontation went a step too far. 7 A huge row kicked off on TOWIE Credit: ITV 7 Sophie Kasaei and Freddie Bentley were inches away from each other's faces Credit: ITV 7 The clash quickly escalated Credit: ITV The drama appeared to be caused over Freddie Bentley and Ella Rae Wise's disdain for certain members of the group failing to support her during her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year. Freddie had sent a group chat message to encourage the cast to post in support of Ella in order to conjure up votes for her stay in the famous house. But with many of them choosing not to, it left a sour taste in Ella and her best pal Freddie's mouths. The main targets of the pair's frustrations appeared to be Jordan Brook and his Geordie Shore star girlfriend, Sophie Kasaei. As Freddie and Ella spoke about the situation, Jordan could overhear them and soon attempted to get involved by moving closer. Tensions began to reach boiling point as Freddie ranted at Jordan. Jordan insisted that his loyalty to Ella's ex Dan Edgar had prevented him from supporting Ella. Ella soon made a reference to Sophie by saying that she would not be happy if Jordan went "on a bender" - implying that's what Dan had done. As Sophie joked back that she wouldn't care, Ella hit back: "Yeah, because you are desperate!" Clearly wound-up, Jordan insisted "don't call my bird desperate" as Ella attempted to walk off. Towie's Dani Imbert speaks for first time about snogging two Love Island boys in one night - after BOTH lads are dumped for cheating Ella and Sophie then began to scream at each other from across the pool as they clashed over Ella's remarks as she insisted Sophie was old and irrelevant. Things were only just beginning as Freddie branded Jordan the problem, leading to a three-way confrontation between him and the loved-up couple. Freddie said: "You all deserve this - you deserve to be told about yourselves." Turning to Sophie, he added: "If you don't care, then go away then! 7 Freddie Bentley appeared to be led away by security as Junaid Ahmed appeared Credit: ITV 7 The face-off occurred just moments into the group trip Credit: ITV "Don't stand there and try and speak to me!" Sophie then got very close to Freddie's face as he barked back at her: "What are you gonna do about it - you f*** off!" Stepping in, Jordan then came into Freddie's face and then launched his body at his co-star to push him out of the way. As Freddie stumbled, Jordan appeared to take another lunge at him as Freddie asked: "Who are you pushing?" The cameras then appeared to cut to a group setting as the scuffle could be heard contiuning out of sight. It seemed other cast members had got involved as a security guard's arm could be seen holding Freddie back as Junaid Ahmed also appeared to be escorted away from the scene. Sophie later ranted that they were "so rude" to her face as Jordan bluntly remarked: "Yeah I nearly chinned Freddie but I'm alright." 7 Sophie slammed Ella in an explosive rant Credit: ITV
