Kem tried to reason her actions, saying: “I think, she says it’s not Gemma Collins, that’s The GC.”
But Holly was having none of it, adding: “But then that’s absolute rubbish, that’s just a really good excuse to get away with stuff you don’t want to do. I love that side of her, I do love it, but I do think professionalism will always outweigh that diva behaviour.”
HuffPost UK has contacted a ‘Dancing On Ice’ spokesperson for comment and is awaiting a response.
Gemma hadn’t performed with her partner Matt Evers during Sunday’s show, but had taken to the ice as part of a group performance with the other celebrity skaters who took part in week one of the competition.
Earlier in the show, viewers had seen her arrive unapologetically late for training for the routine in a VT.
She is due to perform for a second time on Sunday’s show, with hopes the routine can top her iconic skating debut.
‘Dancing On Ice’ airs Sundays at 6pm on ITV.
