Dancing On Ice viewers are massively divided over Holly Willoughby’s reaction to Gemma Collins’ meltdown on Sunday night’s show.
The presenter threw some not-so-subtle shade at Gemma following her row with judge Jason Gardiner.
The TOWIE star accused Jason of “selling stories” about her as he criticised her Marilyn Monroe inspired performance.
And the row became very heated as Jason branded Gemma a “brat”, forcing hosts Holly and Phillip Schofield to step in.

As Gemma left the ice, Holly and Phil introduced the next skater and it seems the mum-of-three couldn’t help but make a cheeky joke about the row.
Holly said: “Well it is time for the final skating star of the night and it’s our Pussycat Doll.
“Let’s get the inside story as she skates to a song from West Side Story. Nobody sold that story that’s for sure.”
As we reported earlier, some viewers were amused by the subtle dig and shared their thoughts on Twitter.
One person said: “Loved Holly’s little dig at Gemma Collins!!” while another tweeted: “As much as Gemma can be a drama queen she’s bloody entertaining! Phil and Holly at the end just topped it.”

However, some Entertainment Daily readers have accused This Morning host of bullying the reality star.
One wrote: “I’m sorry but I thought Holly was nasty a bully!”
A second put: “Bullying in public, live family TV. Brilliant message to send out to the kids! NOT!! IITV should be ashamed of themselves.” [sic]
Another simply commented: “Bully.”
Wow, bit strong!
At the weekend, Gemma said she wanted a “public apology” from Holly and Phil after they questioned her lack of professionalism on the show.
It came after a report claimed Gemma was being a “diva” on the show by turning up late to rehearsals and disappearing during last Sunday night’s show because she got “bored”.
During an episode of This Morning, Holly said: “I love Gemma, I’m a big fan of hers and I love her on the show, but I do think there has to be a bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do, just a bit of pride in your work.”

Gemma has since told The Mirror: “I’ve been told on the rumour mill that Phil and Holly have been told off, but a public apology would go a long way.
“I haven’t seen them yet – obviously I’ll see them at the studio, but I’d like an intervention before the show starts. We need to find the culprit responsible for giving them this false information.”
