This year's series of Dancing On Ice is now over after former Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan won the show. Performing alongside his Dancing On Ice partner Alex Schauman, the couple beat out competition from The X Factor's Saara Aalto, who came third, and Love Island's Wes Nelson, who came second with his partner Vanessa Bauer.

Of course, because it was the final of the show, their former fellow contestants also returned to the ice - including none other than Gemma Collins, who had pulled out after thinking that judge Jason Gardiner had made a personal attack towards her.

After thinking that he'd called her a 'refrigerator', Gemma did pull out - but decided to take part after all, saying on The Jonathan Ross Show, "Do you know what, I did pull out...and then I thought, for everyone that’s supported me, for my own self-esteem, I’m gonna walk back into that show and I’m gonna skate like its the last day of my life."

She stayed true to her word, and performed some of her routine to Beyoncé's 'Crazy In Love' with her skating partner Matt Evers.

Taking to Instagram, Gemma shared a video clip of her original skate to the song on Instagram, writing, 'I will be putting my skates on one last time today .... ✌🏻 but I want to wish the amazing finalists @wes.nelson 💋@jamesjordan1978 💋 @saaraaalto 💋the very best of luck you ABSOLUTELY DESERVE to be where you are ✌🏻 it’s been a great series ✌🏻.' sic

Although she stayed true to her word and took to the ice one last time, fans of the show were left a little disgruntled over the actual routine - claiming that she didn't do very much skating at all.

Taking their frustrations online, many wrote on Twitter that she shouldn't have 'bothered' turning up, with one writing, 'What was that from Gemma? Matt just basically skated around her.'

Well, it's over for another year!
