James ‘Arg’ Argent teased Gemma Collins over her "little jumps" on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The ‘TOWIE’ star impressed the judges on Sunday night (6.01.19) when she took to the ice for the first time to perform her skating routine to Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’ alongside her professional partner Matt Evers, scoring a respectable 16 points out of 40.
And it was the reality star’s show-stopping splits that "shocked" a lot of people, according to Arg, who thought his girlfriend did a "bloody brilliant" job.
Sharing a video in bed with her beau after her first night performing live on the ITV1 show, Gemma said: "So this is a goodnight from me and Argy.
"Thank you to everyone who is supporting me.
"How do you think I did?"
Arg laughed: "I though you were bloody brilliant. The splits, the little jumps you did."
Gemma replied: "He thought my little jumps were hilarious. It took the mickey out of me for them. He’s a mickey-taker."
Arg said: "No. You were brilliant. I am really proud of you. I think you shocked a lot of people last night. Bring on the next one."
Gemma admitted: "It was scary I am not going to lie."
The 37-year-old star also posted a video of her splits on Instagram and admitted she was "overwhelmed" by the reaction to their routine, but that her little wobbles were down to "nerves".
She captioned the clip: "Did you ever expect the GC to do the SPLITS!? I’m overwhelmed by the reaction, Thank you so much! I hope I proved a lot of people wrong tonight
"Thank you for voting for me, I love you all!!! @dancingonice @itv the NERVES got the better of me but I hope to be better next week (sic)"
Gemma revealed on the night that she was just relieved to have "made it" around the ice in one piece, whilst Matt joked: "You didn’t kill me, you didn’t kill yourself. We’re safe."
Giving her feedback, the ice panel encouraged Gemma to ignore her critics and just worry about what she is doing on the ice.
Ashley Banjo said: "Gemma, you’re a ledge. I just want to say – it doesn’t matter what they say, it matters what you do. You did it and you smashed the routine."
Asked if there was any point that she considered not doing this, Gemma – who famously quit ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ shortly into her stay in the jungle in 2014 – said: "Yeah, two minutes before I came out here. I said to Matt, I looked him in the eyes and said, ‘Do I have to go out there?’ and he said, ‘Yes!’"
