Speaking to The Sun, size 18 Gemma Collins who has her own plus size clothing range laid into Jamelia for her remarks; calling her opinions "ridiculous".
"You can't segregate people who are overweight. Some women really struggle with their weight
"Jamelia is slim. She doesn't know what it feels like to be bigger and not be able to go shopping. Are bigger people not meant to be able to get clothes? It's ridiculous."
GOOD MORNING BRITAIN APOLOGY
Yesterday, Jamelia went on Good Morning Britain to defend her remarks, she said:
"Watching it back I can see how number one, papers are able to regurgitate the story which makes it much more sensational... I didn’t make it clear on the show that I was talking about extremes... above a size 20 and below a size 6.
"I do agree with what you are saying. Knowing I offended people really upset me and knowing I made people question themselves and their choices. All I can do is apologise for that.
"But I do stand by what I said - I am a real women with real opinions. I’m not here to play some villain. It’s not that, I get paid to voice my opinion. Occasionally you offend people.”

"People are going to see the real bare, stripped-back me. I might just become Bear Grylls, you never know."We never did get to see Gemma chowing down on a raw snake, drinking her own urine or sleeping inside a rancid camel (yep, Bear Grylls has seriously done all of those things).

"Yeah alright, I've cracked at the first hurdle. It's like the turtle and the slug or the horse and the rabbit or something, I can't remember what it is."Who could forget the age-old story of the turtle and the slug?

"If they don’t give us a treat I’m going to kill myself.”Well, the suicide threats didn’t work, but outside of the jungle is a plentiful world of treats just waiting for Gem.

"I feel like I’ve got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we’ve got to get out of here today.”Symptoms of malaria do not include yellow poo, constant whinging or an Essex accent, sorry Gem.

"Seriously, I'd give anything for a bit of dried fruit. Dried fruit! I'm not even asking for a ham sandwich. You know what I mean? With a packet of Quavers on the side."We’re not sure dried fruit is the best remedy for fluorescent yellow diarrhea Gem, maybe just stick to dry bread and water until the ‘malaria’ clears up.

"People that murder get treated better than this, and that's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."Murderers also don’t get paid at least £25,000 to go on a jolly holiday to Australia either. They also tend not to have strops and quit their sentences, but who cares about the details….

"If I'm not in that camp in three minutes, I'm quitting."That’s what the helicopter was for, Gem.
LOOSE WOMEN INTERVIEW
In her original interview on Loose Women, Jamelia said:
"I think everyone should have access to lovely clothes, but I do not think it's right to facilitate people living an unhealthy lifestyle.”
"I don't believe stores should stock clothes below or above a certain weight. They should be made to feel uncomfortable when they go in and can't find a size.
"It shouldn't be normalised in high street stores. They should have specialist shops."
What do you think of Jamelia's comments? Do with you agree with her since her apology? Or agree with Gemma Collins that her ideas are "ridiculous"?
