Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “Stop wishing for other people’s bodies. Find peace in your own. Just eat food. Eat real food, be active and live your LIFE. Forget all the diet and weight loss NONSENSE. It’s really just that … NONSENSE. Spreading LOVE and POSITIVITY. (sic)”

Her comments come just days after the Dancing On Ice star vowed to continue with working on her fitness, despite being booted off the skating show, during an appearance on This Morning earlier this month.

“I’ll be honest I had about three tyres round my middle and they’ve gone.

“I’m still a bigger girl but when I got on the scales, I was shocked because I’ve actually lost two and a half stone. It never goes off my face, I think I need some sort of lifting surgery.

“I was shocked I couldn’t believe and just feeling fit. I don’t know what form of exercise I’m going to do yet.

“I might take to the rink but for an enjoyment purpose, skate round for an hour, you know, because it is good exercise, but I really do want to continue with my fitness.”

Gemma was voted off the competition earlier this month after receiving a mediocre 15.5 points out of 40 for her routine.

Following her exit, Gemma said on the show: “I’ve had fun and I’m a bit intuitional and I did say tonight’s my night, I just want to bow out gracefully now.”

Ahead of last Sunday’s show, the former TOWIE star posted a sweet message to her Twitter to wish her former co-stars luck.
