Gemma Collins has shared a message to parents about the current half-term holidays.
The Only Way Is Essex star took to Instagram today to post a sweet snap with Tristan, the son of her fiancé Rami Hawash. The photo, which was likely taken by Hawash, sees Collins and Tristan sitting at a restaurant table with a beautiful view of the beach in the background.
"Beautiful half term happiness," Collins captioned the image, adding that "it's really not difficult to love a child unconditionally".
