TOWIE's Gemma Collins has leapt to the defence of her axed co-star, Dan Osborne, who was kicked from the show after threatening to stab his ex-partner Megan Tomlin who's the mother of his son, Teddy.
Twenty-three year old Dan was dropped from the show after abusive recording emerged in which he threatened to stab Megan if she had sex with someone else.
However, Gemma Collins, 34, thinks Dan deserves another chance, while speaking to The Mirror, she said: “People say things in temper. That’s what all the Essex boys say to their girlfriends.
"Death threats? Yeah, that’s Essex boys for you. I’ve had boyfriends say to me if I ever leave them they will kill me.
"In Essex it’s a normal thing.”
“He was never going to kill her and I think he deserves to make a comeback to the show.”
Gemma also defended Mario Falcone - who was axed for promoting diet pills - saying that the cast only "earn £150 a day on TOWIE", and that they appreciate the platform, but need to make more moolah outside of the show.
