Gemma Collins says Jason Gardiner "wouldn’t look at her" during ‘Dancing On Ice’ rehearsals.
The 38-year-old reality TV star – who was in tears after getting a disappointing score of 13.5 out of 40 on last night’s show (03.02.19) – was happy the judge gave her the highest score on the panel this week, but she was surprised because she claims he ignored her during rehearsals.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Monday (04.02.19), she said: "What was weird, in rehearsal he wouldn’t look at me, he turned this way.
"I thought, ‘Oh no not this again’, let’s move on from it.
"I find him very amusing, I think he does it [his comments] to get me going a bit but it also drives me on.
"The more his comments are awful about me the more I want to prove him wrong."
Gemma – who fell on her face during her performance on the previous show (27.01.19) – said the tumble knocked her confidence and affected her in training last week.
She said: "I’m really upset because obviously last week I had really improved and then since the fall, my nerves have gone."
Gemma and judge Jason famously fell out on a live show a few weeks ago when she accused the choreographer of "selling stories" about her.
But this week, Jason gave Gemma her highest score, four points, and she even seemed to bury the hatchet with the acid-tongued panellist as she agreed with his comments that her routine needed better execution.
She said they were becoming "sort of friends", but he responded: "I wouldn’t go that far."
Gemma had to use her mother Joan’s wheelchair last week after her fall left her with bruised knees.
