Gemma Collins has begs fans for advice on Long Covid after revealing that her dad has permanent scarring on his lungs.
The reality TV star issued the plea along with a snap of her dad with her 2.2million followers.
"If anyone knows anything about permanent scaring from Long Covid please get in touch as dad bless him has permanent scaring and was wondering if there is anything we can do to help his breathing," she wrote.
In 2020 both of her parents were struck by Covid and Alan had to be hospitalised and at one point the Diva Forever star feared she might loose him.
Speaking on her podcast at the time Gemma said: "Both of my parents have had covid. My dad is still in hospital now. He’s literally been fighting for his life.
“It has been one awful time of it but I’m so happy to be back chatting with you all.”
She went on: “Things are so difficult. It is relentless at the moment with everything going on. I am finding myself juggling so many plates.
“It’s been a real shock to myself and my family with my dad being in hospital.”
Alan made a full recovery and Gemma shared a photo of him on her Instagram grid and wrote the caption: "We was so lucky my dad pulled through.”
Gemma revealed her own struggles with Covid last month.
She said that she had to have a nurse come to her home and put her on a drip after she recovered from the virus.
"I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but it is just so weird," she wrote.
Sharing a snap of the drip, she wrote: "Covid deffo makes you feel weird after."
Gemma recently revealed that she is a huge fan of dancing totally naked in the garden of her £1.3million mansion every morning.
She said that she finds it "liberating" and that she is "at one with nature".
