Dancing On Ice viewers have called for Gemma Collins to leave the show following reports about her ‘diva’ behaviour backstage.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the former TOWIE star was threatening to quit the ITV show after facing criticism from presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about her lack of professionalism.
Show bosses later spoke out following further claims that Gemma, 37, was refusing to be filmed during rehearsals and even throwing them off the ice, insisting there was “no truth” to any of the reports.

However, viewers seem to have had enough of the GC and took to Twitter to beg bosses to let her go.
One person tweeted: “I could laugh at Gemma Collins thinking she is the biggest star on Dancing on Ice. No love, you just have a big ego thinking that you are. She should quit or be axed.”
Another said: “Why TV producers pamper to Gemma Collins is baffling. She didn’t last a week on I’m a Celeb she thinks she’s the star of any show she’s on.
“Up herself and arrogant with it. Don’t let her walk, SACK HER!!”

It comes after it was reported that Gemma was left “in floods of tears” after Holly criticised her on This Morning on Monday.
Holly said: “I really love Gemma, I’m a big fan of Gemma’s and I think she’s great on the show.
“But, I think there needs to be a little bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do. Just a little pride in your work. You just shouldn’t do that.”
Her co-host Phil, 56, added: The entire studio, that is that massive studio with all of the people involved, were all standing there waiting.”

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, an insider told The Sun that the production crew are “fed up” and at the end of their tether with Gemma’s antics backstage.
But a representative for Dancing On Ice confirmed to ED! that there is “no truth” to the claims and Gemma “has not quit the show”.
Gemma is due to skate on Sunday night with her professional skating partner Matt Evers.
