Gemma Collins has got her "confidence back" after her nasty fall on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star took a tumble on her face during her performance on the show last month, and had admitted her nerves affected her performance on Sunday (03.02.19).
However, on Tuesday (05.02.19), she gave her 1.2 million followers a teaser of what to expect from her next routine with skating partner Matt Evers, and thanked him for giving her a boost.
Vowing to not give up, she captioned the video: "Rough cut off working on Sunday’s routine @themattevers you really helped me build my confidence today and I can’t thank you enough…
"Very rough cut but I’m not giving up yet… and the PUBLIC SUPPORT is OVERWHELMING beyond belief️.
"THANKYOU️ #lottolearn #notgivingup #practicemakesperfect @dancingonice . (sic)"
The ‘Dancing on Ice’ team sent Gemma away to a Spa retreat after she was left in pain with serious bruising.
The 38-year-old star shared videos from her break at Champneys on her Instagram Stories.
She said: "This is reality right now, I’m so ill but I’m at ‘Dancing on Ice’ – nothing is gonna stop me and I’m with…
"I’ve got to keep quiet, but the lovely producers at ‘Dancing on Ice’ have brought us to Champneys.
"When they saw what I look like they was like…"
Speaking about how the fall had affected her performance on Sunday (03.02.19), she admitted: "I’m really upset because obviously last week I had really improved and then since the fall, my nerves have gone."
Gemma had to use her mother Joan’s wheelchair for a few days last week because her knees were so bruised from the slip up.
Her boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent said: "Gemma couldn’t sleep last night because she’s in so much pain. The swelling around her thighs and knees is horrific, and she’s black and blue all over. She’s struggling to walk so I had to carry her to the car earlier, and she’s been using Joan’s wheelchair on and off all day because she’s in so much pain. She’s seeing a private doctor tomorrow who will determine what will happen next. It will be her worst nightmare if she’s forced to pull out of the show, she doesn’t want to be a sick note, she wants to continue and we strongly believe she’s a real contender to win."
The GC previously admitted she was "absolutely devastated and embarrassed" by the fall but couldn’t wait to get back onto the ice.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: "Absolutely devastated & embarrassed. My heart is broken but when I went down I thought of @gypsyking101 Tyson Fury and knew I had to get back up & carry on! Can’t thank you enough for your support on social media and picking up the phone to vote! I’m in a lot of pain but bring on fantasy week!! (sic)"
