Gemma Collins has vowed to wow Dancing On Ice judges and viewers on Sunday night with her next performance of the series.

Gemma said she could end up “breaking someone’s back” during the routine!

She said: “We’re working on our new routine and if I don’t break someone’s back I’ll be breaking the internet…”

It comes amid a chaotic week for Gemma after she was accused of being a ‘diva’ backstage.

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.

Later, it was claimed that Gemma, 37, was refusing to be filmed during rehearsals and even throwing the camera crew off the ice.

However, Gemma hit back at the rumours and insisted they weren’t true.

In a string of videos shared to her Instagram stories on Wednesday, Gemma said: “Good morning everyone. So sorry for my eyes looking so heavy. Obviously I’ve been really devastated by all the hurtful press reports this week, which haven’t been true.

“But I’m not giving up, I’m not quitting. I’ve got the shakes where I’ve been so upset. Please don’t believe what’s been put out there.”

Her partner Matt also defended Gemma after she was accused of being late for a dress rehearsal, after previously holding everyone up at the group rehearsal, because she was “having a nap”.

He said on Lorraine this week: “She did not have a nap. We weren’t performing a competition number this Sunday, we just had the group number, and after the group number she thought she was free to go.

“That was just a miscommunication between stage management, her and everything. She got a text from her car that had said your car has arrived, and she asked somebody – whom I’m not sure – and they were like, ‘Yeah, you’re finished.'”
