Gemma, who champions body confidence, continued: “How you talk about yourself with your subconscious is very important #iambodybeautiful #thisisme.”

The reality star also shared a clip of herself strutting her stuff by the pool while The Greatest Showman’s powerful song “This Is Me” was played.

She is currently on holiday for the first time with fiancé Rami and stepson Tristan and has kept fans updated with a series of sweet pictures as they shared quality time together.

Following her stint on Dancing On Ice in 2018, Gemma embarked on a weight loss journey that saw her drop more than three stone.

Gemma was on a mission to shed the pounds after being told her weight would make it harder to conceive.

Speaking about her quest to conceive, Gemma previously told The Sun: “I have a fabulous doctor. I can definitely have a kid, he just told me it would be easier if I didn’t carry so much weight.

“He gave me the confidence not to panic. He told me to lose some stones and it will help me.

“I’m in a much better headspace. It’s easy to yo-yo when your life is everywhere.

“Things are much calmer now – I cook my own meals at home, ride my bike through nature and enjoy long walks. I am established. My career has gone far beyond that.”

However, last year she announced she was exploring the possibility of IVF after struggling to conceive with Rami.

She shared at the time: “I really want a baby now, I haven’t used birth control. I can’t get pregnant so now I have to be brave and take care of it myself. It sometimes feels like – When will it happen? Why me?”

Gemma and Rami first started dating in 2011 and had an on-off romance for three years before splitting in 2014.

They got engaged in 2013 when he proposed hiding a diamond ring in a Christmas pudding.

They briefly reconnected in 2017, but Gemma was back with James Argent soon after. However, last year she ended that rocky relationship for good.

It was revealed last April that Gemma and Rami had been secretly dating for six months – and he had welcomed his son since their last split.
