Just over a week ago, we said goodbye to the fabulous Gemma Collins as she was booted off ITV's Dancing On Ice 2019.

Throughout Gemma's six weeks on the show, we saw plenty of bickering, crying and stumbling, and it is now reportedly showing that these diva-style antics were somewhat vital to this year's ratings.

The popular skating show's ratings have reportedly taken quite the hit following The GC's departure...a hit amounting to 2.6 million viewers.

According to reports, around 6.3 million viewers tuned in on Sunday, 10th February to witness Gemma's performance to 'Survivor', which subsequently resulted in a low score of 15.5 and her being booted off the show.

Ratings for Sunday's show (17th February) reportedly nosedived to just 3.7 million.

The 38-year-old TOWIE star continued to make headlines during her Dancing On Ice reign, whether it was due to her sassy back-chat, her not-so gravity-defying performances or eye-catching outfits.

But don't worry, we haven't seen the last of Gemma! This TOWIE star is set to continue cashing in on her Dancing On Ice stint with club appearances (for the right price) as she plans to take full advantage of her skyrocketing money making abilities.

We may even see her cheering from the crowd in next year's Dancing On Ice, as it was recently revealed that boyfriend James Argent is keen to have his shot on the ice! You're doing great, honey...
