Carol McGiffin lays into Gemma Collins in explosive rant

The former Loose Women presenter had a huge pop at the TOWIE star

Gemma Collins used to be everybody’s favourite on The Only Way Is Essex.

But she has come under fire after her diva behaviour on ITV’s Sugar Free Farm.

One particular lady who’s really lost her cool with the blonde reality star is Carol McGiffin.

In her column for Best magazine, Carol, 56, wrote: “What’s happened to Gemma Collins? When first on TOWIE, she was the roly-poly girl that everyone loved.

“Now a professional reality TV ‘star’, she’s turned into an egomaniac horror who believes her own hype – an insufferable, arrogant, bad-tempered attention-seeker.”

We’re guessing she didn’t enjoy watching her on Sugar Free Farm then?

Carol has always been outspoken and is very straightforward when voicing her opinion, of course…

Gemma rose to fame in 2011 when she won the hearts of the nation in TOWIE as a chirpy cars saleswoman. Everybody loved her enthusiasm and hilarious one-liners.

Things have changed somewhat.

Remember her in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Celebrity Big Brother and Splash?

Her lack of endurance, and lack of effort, shall we say, definitely left her without much support from colleagues and viewers alike.

She only lasted 72 hours in the jungle back in 2014!

One quote, that will probably go down in history for being one of the most controversial statements ever on the ITV show, was: “People that murder get treated better than this. And that’s the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.”

Maybe Carol does have a point!
