Fans were quick to comment, with many adding heart-eyes and flame emojis. One remarked: "Looks gorgeous!" Another said: "Ooooh I love it." A third post read: "Love the colour xx." A fourth person added: "Looking gorgeous as always."

The post comes as Gemma urged fans to show their support for shelter pets, as Hill's Pet Nutrition launched their nationwide campaign this week, to support homeless pets in desperate need due to COVID-19.

As the pandemic passed the one-year mark, animal shelters up and down the country have been facing unprecedented budget cuts and financial strain.

Gemma, who owns Spaniel and Sproodle Ollie and Norman, said: "Whilst the country has been in and out of lockdown the past year, shelters across the country have been working tirelessly to help the lives of the many animals in their care. Sadly, just like all businesses and industries, they have suffered hardship due to the pandemic and are in desperate need of support right now.

"My dogs are a huge part of our family and I’m a massive advocate for animal welfare and successfully rescued pets. By supporting #MissionForeverFriend, animal lovers can show their support for local shelters and give animals in need the second chance they deserve.

"Hill's believes that all pets deserve the best care humanly possible, and that the right nutrition has the ability to not only transform lives physically but make shelter pets adoption-ready while they wait for their forever homes."
