The 40-year-old reality star has declared her feelings for her former fiance, after he joined her on a recent holiday to Cornwall.

Speaking on 'The Gemma Collins Podcast', she said: “Guys, I’m in love. I’ve got a lovely partner and I’m very happy.

“He made his way down on the vacation because obviously he couldn’t cope without me for a few days.

"No, he can cope just fine, he’s got his own business.”

The TV star suggested that her "beautiful" 46-year-old businessman partner - who was engaged to Gemma in 2013 before they split a year later - has won her affections once again by wowing her with his outdoor cooking abilities.

She added: “Rami is the king of the barbecue and I leave the barbecues to him.

"He’s an amazing cook.

“He’s beautiful, he’s absolutely amazing and he loves doing the barbecues, so me and Ram have had a few.”

Last week, Gemma revealed she's reached a stage in life where "she's ready for a baby" .

Gemma - who has been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which can make it more difficult for women to get pregnant - believes next year will be the right time for her and Rami - who already has three-year-old son called Tristan with a former partner - to have a baby.

The outspoken star even suggested it could even be the subject matter of her next reality programme.

She said: "I'm ready for a baby.

"I am going to try next year.

"I'm really excited about it."

"That'll be the next show I do, 'Gemma Collins: Making The Baby'."

"It's not so easy for me to get pregnant.

"But I am ready for it."
