Gemma Collins quits social media amid Dancing On Ice drama

She wants to focus on improving her skating skills

Gemma Collins has said she’s taking a break from social media following her outburst on Sunday evening’s Dancing On Ice.

The star was embroiled in a row with judge Jason Gardiner as she accused him of “selling stories” about her before he branded her a “brat”.

Following the drama, former TOWIE star Gemma told her fans on Instagram on Tuesday that she’s stepping away from social media so she can focus on her skating skills.

Gemma posted a hilarious a clip from Ariana Grande’s video for her song Thank U, Next which had replaced Ariana’s famous line with Gemma shouting “boring, next” – which she shouted at Jason on the show.

She wrote: “Guys after today I can’t be on social as I really need to up my skating skills.

“I’m not leaving you but I really need to focus, here’s a little something to keep you going. I’ll be back up and running Sunday.”

It comes hours after Gemma thanked her fans for their support.

Sharing a clip from Monday’s Good Morning Britain showing host Piers Morgan supporting her, Gemma wrote: “Thank you to everyone who supported me its been a tough week @thepiersmorgan @gmb #teamcollins #next #boring.”

Piers had defended Gemma’s outburst and branded Jason “unprofessional” for his remarks to the reality TV star.

Meanwhile on Monday, Jason denied he tried “selling stories” about Gemma.

The journalist who interviewed Jason cleared things up on Twitter, writing: “For the avoidance of any doubt, @officialJasonG gave me an interview to promote # in which I asked him about (among many other things) the incident involving Gemma. He simply gave his honest opinion.”

Jason, 47, replied: “I really appreciate this. Being wrongly accused of ‘selling stories’ was a blatant attempt to defame my character.

“I know you didn’t have to make this statement but hopefully now people will wake up & stop believing the BS that come out of @missgemcollins gob (sic).”
