Gemma seemed to be in a great mood as she spent the time with her family.

She is close to her brother’s family, having moved in with them during lockdown and helping to home school her nephews.

Gemma was insistent that she wouldn’t be living along during the pandemic, and even filmed her reality series, Diva In Lockdown, from her brother’s home.

She also told MailOnline recently that she spent a lot of time on bike rides with her sister-in-law, which has helped with her weight loss.

Gemma used her trip to Tenerife to proudly showcase her new look while recovering from her split from James ‘Arg’ Argent.  

While Gemma was unwinding, a solemn-looking James was spotted at Heathrow Airport jetting off to Marbella from Heathrow Airport.

Gemma and James hit headlines last week, after Arg, 32, was exposed for branding her a ‘hippo’ and ‘fat f**k’ over text message during an explosive row.

Following the dramas, it has been reported that the reason Gemma cancelled an event in Spain was due to reports that he was flying out to win her back.

The Sun report that Arg informed friends of his plans to jet over to Marbella, where she’d been on the books to appear at Elliot Wright’s bar as a part of Diva Night on Thursday, prompting Gemma to call off her plans.

According to the publication, Gemma initially employed the services of a security guard for fear of her off-again boyfriend of causing a scene at the venue, before learning of his plans to ask for another chance.

Meanwhile, a source told The Daily Star: ‘The two have not spoken since they split for good after his awful texts.  He is always desperate to keep the fire burning so is going to try and win her back by surprising her in Marbella. But it sounds like it may all end in tears, yet again.’
