Holly Willoughby slams Dancing On Ice star Gemma Collins for ‘lack of professionalism

Holly Willoughby has slammed Gemma Collins for her lack of professionalism on Dancing On Ice after she left the show 15 minutes early on Sunday.  

Holly, 37, told This Morning on Monday: ‘I absolutely love Gemma, 37, but there needs to be needs to be professionalism on a show like that.

Kem Cetinay, 22, – who is This Morning’s backstage reporter on the ITV talent show, claimed she left the live broadcast before the end because she was a ‘bit bored’.

Kem revealed why Gemma was missing in action, saying: ‘We went into the live show, and then the last quarter of the show, she went home.

‘Well I didn’t know she went until after but then we saw this video and I was thinking, “I don’t know where Gemma is,” and I went to her dressing room and she wasn’t there.

‘So I did speak to her after and she said she was a bit bored, but she does love skating.’

Holly then gave her opinion on The GC’s no-show, saying: The thing is I really love Gemma, you know I’m a big fan of Gemma’s and I think she’s great on the show I do, but I think there has to be a bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do, just a bit of pride in your work.’

Phil then scornfully added: ‘In all the years I’ve been in television, I have never kept a studio waiting.’

Explaining Gemma’s excuse for her behaviour, Kem said: ‘I think, she says it’s not Gemma Collins, that’s The GC.’
