Gemma Collins revealed that she thought she was having a heart attack which led to an ambulance being called to her home last night.
On Tuesday (7 February), Collins - who found fame on ITV reality series The Only Way is Essex - took to her Instagram to share the scary shock she'd had the previous night which left her fearing for her life.
The 42-year-old explained she believed she was having a heart attack and so had to call an ambulance to her house.
In a video uploaded to her Instagram stories, Collins thanked fans for their 'well wishes', noting she had a 'terrible shock last night'.
The GC continued: "I had terrible chest pains. I thought I was having a heart attack. Anyway, thank god, it wasn't that. I will go into it all later but I just want to say thank you for your well wishes.

"And the NHS were absolutely incredible. I had y'know nothing but such a great experience with them, and y'know I just really hope they get all their pay rises, cause they just work so hard.
"I'm just very happy to not have died from a heart attack last night. But, onwards and upwards. I'm at work. I will report back later. But I just wanted to say thank you [...] and I'm on an amazing shoot today."
Yesterday, Collins posted photos of the ambulance and the medical staff at her house to her Instagram stories, writing: "Thank you to all the amazing people that helped me this evening."
