Gemma Collins has become the latest celebrity to be voted off Dancing On Ice.
The GC was bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 15.5 points and ended up in the bottom two alongside cricketer Ryan Sidebottom.
After a lacklustre routine to Destiny’s Child’s I’m a Survivor earlier in the evening, she performed her save me skate to Whitney Houston’s Queen of the Night and admitted to Phil afterwards they hadn’t even practised that skate for weeks.
The judges – and viewers at home – agreed her time on the competition was over. Although there were some who felt she’d won them over with her grace in defeat.
It was a unanimous verdict. Jason, who’s clashed with Gemma throughout the series, declared:
“It gives me great pleasure to say I will be saving Ryan and Brandy.”
After the result was announced, Gemma said: “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.”
She also said she wouldn’t carry on skating, but she has enjoyed working on her fitness.
Matt declared he was going on holiday and Gemma told him she was going to buy him a Gucci bag.

Others praised her for being gracious in defeat, and some even said they’d warmed to her this week.
@dancingonice Just as I’m starting to warm to @missgemcollins and her funny comments, she gets booted off! It was the right person to go but probably the most enjoyable night watching her #DancingOnIce
