Gemma Collins is "refusing to be filmed" on ‘Dancing On Ice’ and has been "throwing the crew off the ice" during rehearsals.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is said to have been "making life difficult" for the ITV ice skating show’s crew members, which comes after Holly Willoughby questioned her ‘Dancing on Ice’ "professionalism" live on ‘This Morning’ yesterday (14.01.19).
A source said: "Gemma continues to be making life difficult for the crew backstage on the show.
"She’s been refusing to be filmed and keeps throwing the crew off the ice when they are trying to film rehearsals."
Crew members are said to be getting "increasingly fed up" with her behaviour.
The source added to The Sun Online: "She’s trying to rule the roost and it just doesn’t work like that … everyone is just trying to do their job but they are getting increasingly fed up.
"’Dancing On Ice’ is traditionally a fun show to be involved with but Gemma refusing to being on camera is making life hard for those trying to get out a good, light-hearted show for the fans."
Yesterday, Holly accused Gemma of displaying a lack of "pride" in her work, after Dancing on Ice’s digital presenter Kem Cetinay claimed the former ‘TOWIE’ star left the show’s live broadcast early on Sunday (13.01.19) because she was a "bit bored".
‘This Morning’ co-host Holly said: "The thing is I really love Gemma, you know I’m a big fan of Gemma’s and I think she’s great on the show. I do, but I think there has to be a bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do, just a bit of pride in your work."
Her comments come after Kem claimed: "We went into the live show, and then the last quarter of the show, she went home.
"Well I didn’t know she went until after but then we saw this video and I was thinking, ‘I don’t know where Gemma is?’
"I went to her dressing room and she wasn’t there. So I did speak to her after and she said she was a bit bored, but she does love skating."
During last month’s series launch, fellow ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant Brian McFadden revealed Gemma had been removed from the celebrity contestants’ WhatsApp group for "being rude" and acting like a "diva".
Speaking to BANG Showbiz and other media, he said: "She gets removed when she’s rude. She can be a diva to all the ITV people, but when she’s a diva to us she gets blocked."
