Despite a number of viewers taking to Twitter to accuse Gemma of 'staging' the fall, the 37-year-old has taken to Instagram to show off the extent of her injuries. Sharing a video of herself with a bag of ice on her knee, the reality star said, "I'm in absolute agony."
Gemma's boyfriend and fellow TOWIE star James 'Arg' Argent later took to his own Instagram account to show off the bruising on Gemma's knees, revealing he's very worried about her. He said, "Gemma's legs terrible, look. All round her knees, they're in a bad, bad way. This one isn't so bad, but that one I'm worried about."
OUCH! 😱😱😱
It comes after Gemma took a big tumble during her routine to Celine Dion's 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' with her professional partner Matt Evers. The reality star took a fall on the last part of her routine, but she still managed to pick up her highest score of the series from the judges.
Gemma has now broken her silence on the dramatic moment, taking to Instagram to write, 'Absolutely devastated & embarrassed, My heart is broken ❤️ but when I went down I thought of @gypsyking101 Tyson Fury and knew I had to get back up & carry on! Can’t thank you enough for your support on social media and picking up the phone to vote! Im in a lot of pain but bring on fantasy week!!! 👸⛸'. sic
Although a number of fans accused her of 'faking it', most of Gemma's fans were quick to show their support, with one writing, 'Keep going @gemmacollins1 don’t quit your great 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼x'. sic
