Gemma Collins has admitted that "it's been a tough week", as she comes to terms with the death of one of her close friends. Last Friday, the reality star posted loving tributes and photos of her pal, Rhys Alan Smith, 28, who tragically took his own life.

Today, Gemma was in a reflective mood four days after Rhys' funeral. Wearing blingy embellished sunglasses and drinking a takeaway coffee, she opened up to her 2.2 million followers on Instagram, saying: "Sometimes you will never know the value of the moment until it becomes a memory." Then she thanked the coffee company for ‘the best coffee’ and a friend ‘for the best company’, ending her message with ‘It’s been a tough week’.
