Dancing On Ice contestant Gemma Collins has been working so hard to prove her critics wrong that she has been brought to tears in training.
After her on screen feud with DOI judge Jason Gardiner last week, the 37-year-old vowed to work harder and prove she deserves to be in the competition.
Gemma, who has received low scores on the show so far, revealed she’s so determined this week that she’s been putting in extra hours and emotions are running high.
In a clip from her professional partner Matt Evers’ Instagram Stories, a make-up free Gem told the camera: “I’ve been working my butt off. I’ve absolutely been working my butt off. I’m mastering the steps.
“There’s been tears because I’m just so determined to get it right.”
And The Only Way Is Essex star looked to be more comfortable on the ice this week. In Matt’s footage she could be seen gliding around in the background.
Matt, 42, also said: “We’re just finishing another three hour session this week. I’m actually really proud of Gemma this week, we have put in extra time.
“Her skating is coming along, we’ve taken on what the judges have said as far as we need to work on more of the skills and the skating. And we are doing that.
“I really hope you enjoy this week’s routine. It’s very emotional and it means a lot to both of us.”

Gemma insisted she wanted to avoid anymore drama after her showdown with 42-year-old Jason, and told fans she was staying focused on the competition this week.
She wrote on Instagram: “Guys after today I can’t be on social as I really need to up my skating skills 🙏🏻 I’m not leaving you but I really need to focus 🙏🏻 here’s a little something to keep you going xxx I’ll be back up and running Sunday ❤️.”
