Gemma Collins Left In Tears After Falling Flat On Her Face During Live ‘Dancing On Ice’ Routine

Defending her outburst later in the week, she said she was sick of being “body-shamed”.

“Do you know what, I just had to say my bit because, not to be rude, I don’t need to be body-shamed, I put up with body-shaming for years,” Gemma explained.

Adding that she wanted to go on ‘Dancing On Ice’ to inspire women of all sizes, she said: “It doesn’t matter what your size is, why shouldn’t I, because I’m a plus-size girl, be successful, be on ‘Dancing On Ice’?”

Jason Gardiner immediately refuted Gemma’s claims, and his since posted a statement branding the accusation “salacious” and “libellous”.
