Gemma Collins has epic meltdown during appearance on The Crystal Maze

She demanded producers "stop the game!"

Gemma Collins had a diva meltdown and demanded producers of The Crystal Maze to “stop the game!” during one of the show’s tasks.

The GC was in full swing in a sneak preview of the channel 4 show, which airs this Friday.

Gemma, 38, had to navigate her way through a series of invisible barriers as her celebrity teammates guided her with their virtual map.

But she ended up fuming, ranting that it was her fellow celebs’ fault that she kept messing up.

Gemma stood in a bright white room, unable to see the virtual obstacles that her famous teammates Carol Vorderman, Rick Edwards and Ellie Taylor could see.

As they attempted to call out instructions to the TOWIE star, she continued to set off the trigger alarms and got increasingly frustrated.

“You’re letting me down! This is not rocket science.”

When she set off the alarms on her next try, Gemma wasn’t having it. She jumped up and waved her hands in annoyance.

In full diva mode, she said of her team: “No. I’m sorry, tell the producer they’ve got to sort it out.

“Sorry, stop the game.”

She then appeared to storm off – as did her virtual body!
