Gemma Collins returns to ice days after nasty Dancing On Ice fall

She's working hard on her performance for this weekend

Gemma Collins has got back onto the ice days after her Dancing On Ice tumble.

The former TOWIE star, 38, was left with bruised knees after falling face first onto the ice during her performance on Sunday night’s show.

Gemma has since been in physio and given the all-clear and now, she’s back on the ice “perfecting” her routine for this weekend’s performance.

On Thursday, the star shared a couple of videos of herself on the ice with professional skater Matt Evers.

The first clip shows Matt skating onto the ice as she told him: “Come on sexy!”

Matt said: “Happy birthday beautiful!”

Gemma told fans: “Oh yeah, guys, it’s my birthday and guess where I am? Instead of drinking champagne and eating caviar for breakfast, I’m on the ice.”

In a separate video, Gemma asked fans for their recommendations for “puffy eyes”.

She wrote on the clip: “Any recommendations for puffy eyes. I’m soooooo tired.”

In the footage, she said: “Me and Matt are on the ice this morning. I should be drinking champagne but I’m perfecting the routine for Sunday.

“What a way to spend your birthday.”

However, speaking to The Sun this week, Gemma said she believes she “blacked out” before her fall.

She said: “It definitely wasn’t faked, one million per cent. If they knew the pain I am in with my knee, they would understand.

“I didn’t fall, I passed out. I was just going and then, next thing, on the ground. What is scary is my teeth could have been smashed out. It was so weird. I don’t think I tripped, I think I blacked out.”

During an appearance on This Morning on Wednesday, Matt said he doesn’t believe Gemma “blacked out”.

He said: “I think what she experienced – it wasn’t a moment of black out – it was probably just a moment where she can’t remember what happened, because it happened so fast.”

Speaking about Gemma’s injuries, Matt added: “She is OK, still bruised, she’s still icing her knees…. But she’s back with fighting spirit.”

He said she used a wheelchair on Monday as she was “having trouble walking”, however she’s now fine.

Bookies William Hill have since put her odds at 2/1 that she will tumble again.
