Matt Evers has been defending his Dancing On Ice partner Gemma Collins over the last few weeks as people criticised her skating skills.
However, now Gemma has hit back and defended Matt after he was left “very upset” by trolls’ recent criticism of the pair.
Sharing a video of their first performance on the show, Gemma branded Matt her “rock” and accused people of “bullying” him.

She wrote: “MY ROCK @themattevers….. against all odds and very nasty comments we are spreading LOVE and overcoming.
“We have really been on a special journey together, here’s to the Belero. LIGHT and LOVE ALWAYS and just for all you sad little trolls who have an unhappy existence, unless you can do it then 01 21 DO ONE.
“We are happy and positive and living our best life. IT’S CALLED @dancingonice NOT LIFTS on ice or jumps on ice. I bring the fun to the show ask yourself this, can you do it (sic).”
She added: “I WILL not let @themattevers be BULLIED anymore by the trolls he is very upset by what he is putting up with.
“We are keeping a record of everyone’s social media accounts and we WILL BE EXPOSING you you’re all seen the show when your trolls get confronted IT COULD BE YOU (sic).”
It comes after Matt vowed to not give up on Gemma because he sees “potential” in her.
He tweeted on Friday: “I’ve been told by many industry professionals to give up on her. I refuse to give up especially when I see potential.
“This has fueled me even more. It’s not my job to care but I do.”
Earlier this week, Gemma and Matt had a “heart to heart” about her place in the competition.
Matt revealed Gemma was “absolutely terrified” of skating last weekend after her fall the week before.
He told The Sun: “We had a heart to heart chat. We talked about what happened last Sunday, and at the end of the day she was absolutely terrified of skating after her fall the week before.

“Her knees were just black and blue. She needed a minute. Going forward she’s going to be more honest with me.
“She has moments when she is down. She was fearful and that came across in some of the performance last week.”
