Gemma Collins enjoys a wild ride across the sea in Greece after saying she was 'lucky to have survived' storm in Sicily


The TV personality, 43, and her nephew Hayden, 15, were onboard another luxury ship when the Bayesian superyacht sank nearby, killing British tech billionaire Mike.

Six passengers - including Mr Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah - died alongside chef Recaldo Thomas after the British-flagged pleasure yacht capsized and came to rest on its side 164ft below in the early hours of last Monday. Tornado-speed winds flipped the superyacht so quickly there was no time for those on board to raise the alarm or call for help before they were left swimming for their lives, with those who made it off stranded in the pitch black water as the storm raged around them. Inspector Marco Tilotta, leading the Palermo Fire Brigade's diving unit, has likened the grim search operation to the Costa Concordia cruise ship disaster in 2012 which claimed the lives of 33 people.
