Gemma Collins ‘lashes out at fellow plane passenger in row over seat’

Her rep insisted it was simply a "gentle request"

Gemma Collins reportedly rowed with a fellow plane passenger over a seat on an economy flight.

The reality TV star was on an Aegean airlines flight from Athens, Greece, to Heathrow when she allegedly got into an altercation with a passenger in front of her.

Gemma apparently had her tray down and wanted to rest her head on it but became annoyed when she felt the woman in front was reclining her seat.

One passenger, who witnessed the clash, told the MailOnline that Gemma shouted: “What the [expletive] are you doing, babe?”

The onlooker said the woman replied: “My chair is not reclined.”

Gemma then allegedly said: “Stop [expletive] moving, stop [expletive] moving, just leave it, it’s fine.”

In footage obtained by the publication, Gemma is heard telling the passenger: “But leave it like that, it is hitting my head and it hurts.”

The passenger then responded: “I am not trying…” to which Gemma cut in: “Alright it’s fine,” before resting her head on her arms.

A representative for Gemma told the MailOnline: “All Gemma did was like many passengers do in a busy air plane is ask for someone to be considerate to her.

“It was a gentle request and was in no way a row.”

Gemma has been travelling a lot this summer, enjoying trips to Los Angeles, Italy, Spain and Mykonos, Greece.

And the star is now jetting off to St. Tropez for another sun-soaked break.

The Dancing On Ice star shared a video of her new hairdo to Instagram on Tuesday.
