Gemma Collins to make Dancing On Ice return as she’s lowered onto rink on a diamond hoop

GEMMA Collins returns to Dancing on Ice tonight two years after competing on the show.

The former Towie star, 39, will appear as a special guest lowered onto the ice on a diamond trapeze hoop in a glamorous segment.

Telly favourite Gemma suffered a horrific fall during a live performance on the show in 2019.

And she was also involved in an on-air bust-up with judge Jason Gardiner when she accused him of selling stories about her.

A TV source said: “Gemma is part of the show’s family now — and everyone’s really excited that she is coming back.

“She has a huge fanbase and is always entertaining.

"The props department have gone all out with her sparkling trapeze hoop.

“She has a reputation of being a diva, but she’ll be on best behaviour and she will be on time.”

Gemma, who was partnering US pro skater Matt Evers, 44, when she had her infamous tumble, said: “I thought I was dead.

“And Matt was going, ‘Get up, Get up, Get up.’ I was like, ‘Oh no, my life’s over.’”
