The Only Way Is Essex star, 39, revealed earlier this week her parents Alan and Joan are “extremely unwell” with Covid-19.

On Tuesday Collins urged people to “take notice of the guidelines” as she revealed her parents had fallen ill with coronavirus.

She said: “Seeing my dad cry which he never does ! Was a shock and say he would rather be dead then experience everything he is going through right now… this has totally wiped him out and it’s heartbreaking.

“My mum also is extremely extremely unwell with Covid also, this is real!

“And please please take notice and keep your loved ones safe, it really is petrifying.

“What a difference a year makes …. stay home !!! stay safe !!! save lifes without your health !!! You got nothing !!!!”
