The Dancing On Ice star was most memorable during the series for agreeing to go to Paris on a date with Laurence Hearn, but failing to turn up for the train, leaving him waiting on the platform.

Although Gemma did eventually pick Laurence to be her date for the show’s finale in Cape Verde, their relationship didn’t last and she’s now dating fellow TOWIE star James ‘Arg’ Argent.

In another part of the recording, Gemma can be heard tearfully hitting out at being called in for filming when she wasn’t needed, sounding tired and upset.

The reality star also didn’t want to go to Wales for filming, asking for her scenes to be shot in Essex.

ED! has contacts Gemma’s reps for comment.

London Hughes has hit back at the recording in a series of tweets saying: “Lol Gemma’s talking about me in this clip, it’s nice to know she doesn’t think I have ‘Star Quality’… Ahhh anyway, back to my career in Hollywood!”
