Gemma Collins visits “top physio” ahead of Sunday’s Dancing On Ice as she admits: “No pain no gain”

Could she be injured for tomorrow's show?

Gemma Collins’ epic fall on last weekend’s Dancing On Ice will live on in history as one of the greatest TV moments ever.

But even though the TOWIE star has now been able to laugh off the incident, it could have repercussions for the rest of the series, as Gemma revealed she was seeing a “top physio” and shared videos of her knees being iced up and treated.

The 37-year-old took to InstaStories with a series of clips showing her working with a specialist – a woman Gemma called a “top physio” last week – who performed a series of therapies on Gemma’s legs.

One was clearly uncomfortable as Gemma added the caption: “No pain no gain.”

The TOWIE star fell flat on her face on last weekend’s skating show, while performing to It’s All Coming Back To Me Now by Céline Dion.

Her boyfriend, James ‘Arg’ Argent confirmed she was “crying her eyes out” backstage afterwards, and was in pain with knee issues.

He later also confirmed to The Sun she was in a WHEELCHAIR, saying: “She’s in so much pain. The swelling around her thighs and knees is horrific, and she’s black and blue all over.

Gemma shared a clip on Instagram, where they’re joking about the calamitous moment, as he tells her: “You do understand how viral that fall has become? It’s not just the UK, it’s worldwide. Gemma has gone worldwide.”

The TV star was already coping with various injuries, even before the fall.

She confessed last week: “Since doing Dancing On Ice I’ve got a torn rotator cuff and something’s happened to my knees, so I’ve had to call in a top physio.”
