Gemma Collins doesn’t hang about - barely a day after reportedly dumping boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent, she was pictured partying with the Real Housewives of Cheshire stars.
It's the first time that former Dancing On Ice contestant Gemma has been seen in public since the split - she left her beloved Essex to join in the celebrations for Dawn Ward’s daughter Darby, who turned 23.
Dressed in a leopard print top, black trousers and gold glittery headband, the GC - who lost two and a half stone on the ITV skating show - gestured that she wanted to want to put a stop to any rows by showing the ‘peace’ sign.
It's been widely reported that TOWIE star Gemma, 38, dumped Arg after he humiliated her by sharing pictures of her snoring on social media, then allegedly followed it up with fat shaming texts.
But whatever’s happening in her personal life, she put everything on hold while up north, with mum-of-four Dawn taking her under her wing.
Dawn, 45, looked ever the proud mum in a bright pink coat dress and little black dress, while her birthday girl eldest daughter looked glam in a white trouser suit and jacket, walking hand-in-hand with fella Michael Jackson (seriously).
Poor Taylor Ward, 21, hobbled along on crutches she had a skiing accident in Colorado two weeks ago and had an operation after breaking her leg.
The Wards, including former footballer dad Ashley, are one of the families featured in the ITVBe series, which featuring wealthy residents of the glamorous "Golden Triangle" of Cheshire.
The group are in the middle of filming for series nine, and are keeping tight lipped about what they’ve been up to since the showdown which ended with Dawn storming out of their end of series meet up.
Relative newcomer Ester Dee, known for making an entrance with her bold fashion statements, teamed fishnet stockings and a little black dress with mesh and rose detail, showing off her new fringe hairstyle.
Known for her cheeky and fun personality, Ester couldn’t resist grabbing Dawn for a smooch outside Victors in Alderley Edge, where the party was held.
Cosmetic dentist Hanna Miraftab, also turned heads with a stylish long-sleeve dress with lattice detail, arm-in-arm her fella Dr Martin Kinsella, looking sharp in a jeans, shirt and jacket combo.
Armed with some birthday bubbly, Rachel Lugo showed off her newly sculpted body from her ‘mummy makeover’ in a silver jumpsuit and heels with her long blonde hair tied back in a high ponytail.
Yoga instructor Perla Navia - who recently revealed she slimmed down from a size 16 to a 6 - wore a simple but classy black bodysuit and chain, alongside her husband Jonathan Barton, who went for a more smart casual look in black jeans and a grey polo shirt.
Fashion boutique boss Seema Malhotra was glowing in an oversized black shirt and black jeggings, with ankle boots and white Balenciaga bag.
Only Lauren Simon and Tanya Bardsley were missing from the main cast, fuelling rumours that the former may have left the show, and the latter is still at loggerheads with Dawn.
