As soon as the rumours about Gemma Collins being on next year's series of Dancing On Ice started, we knew we were in for a treat. And in the weeks since she was confirmed for the show and partnered up with Matt Evers, fans of the GC have been desperate to know more about how her training is going and how she's finding it.
But according to fellow contestant Brian McFadden, best known for formerly being in Westlife, Gemma has been winding up the other celebrities involved in the show's upcoming series - and he's taken extreme measures to try and sort her out.
Brian, who declined the offer of reuniting with Westlife for their upcoming tour, revealed to Metro.co.uk that he's had to kick Gemma out of the celebrity WhatsApp group no less than THREE times, thanks to her diva-ish behaviour.
He said, "She gets removed when she’s rude. She can be a diva to all the ITV people, but when she’s a diva to us she gets blocked."
Such dad behaviour!
