It's been a dramatic week for TOWIE star Gemma Collins! After she reportedly took a nap on the Dancing On Ice set last weekend, host Holly Willoughby branded her 'unprofessional', with her fellow contestants calling her a 'diva'.

Now, as Gemma is no stranger to quitting reality shows, rumours were rife that she'd left the show after she believed there was a 'conspiracy' to get her off. Despite keeping silent for the last few days, The GC has now spoken out, revealing she's 'heartbroken' over the recent reports.

Filming herself on her Instagram Story whilst training for Dancing On Ice, Gemma told fans, "So sorry for my eyes looking so heavy. Obviously I've been really devastated by all the hurtful press reports this week, which haven't been true.

"But I'm not giving up, I'm not quitting. I'm here with the team.

"I've got the shakes where I've been so upset. Please don't believe what's been put out there. Do I want to quit? Yes but I'm not gonna. It's really got me down this week but I hope you enjoy our routine this Sunday."

Reports earlier in the week suggested that Gemma had instructed the Dancing On Ice cameramen to 'stop filming' her, to which she also responded to in the video.

Panning her camera around to the film crew, Gemma asked, "Did I tell you at any point to get your cameras off the ice?", to which they replied, "No, we're always here, always filming. Not us anyway."

Gemma's video didn't end there, the reality star went on to address the claims that she is a 'diva', adding, "I know people say I'm a diva but it's a bit of a laugh, it's not actually true. The reason I haven't been on social media before talking about this, me and Matt have been so upset. We were shell-shocked, we didn't know what to do, we were heartbroken."
