Gemma Collins gets Dancing on Ice WhatsApp block ‘for being rude’

Gemma Collins gets blocked from the ‘Dancing on Ice’ WhatsApp group when she is "rude".
Brian McFadden has revealed the former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has been removed from the messaging group – in which the show’s contestants discuss the goings on on and off the ice – for acting like "a diva".
Speaking to BANG Showbiz and other media at the show’s launch at London’s Natural History Museum, he said: "She gets removed when she’s rude. She can be a diva to all the ITV people, but when she’s a diva to us she gets blocked.
"The group is called Icicles. The picture is us, four or five of us, me, James [Jordan], Gemma, Wes [Nelson], Ryan [Sidebottom] and Melody [Thornton], on the first night we all met."
James added: "It’s a good group, but there’s only really three people that get involved in it."
Brian admitted he isn’t planning to do much training on Monday mornings after the Sunday night shows when ‘Dancing on Ice’ kicks off next month, and joked the show’s bosses will have to find him if they want him to hit the ice so soon after a celebratory night with his co-stars.
He added: "It’s going to be a slaughter house on a Sunday night after the show, and they’re telling us we have to train on a Monday morning? Good luck with that!
"They’ll have to f***ing find me first!"
Brian also admitted he isn’t worried about picking up any ‘Dancing on Ice’ injuries after breaking his ribs on former Channel 4 reality show ‘The Jump’, but joked he was the only person who did so away from the ski slopes.
He said: "I’m one of the three people from the last three ‘The Jump’ series that aren’t dead yet.
"I broke my ribs on the show but I’m the only person who got injured off the mountain. I slipped coming out of the bar.
"I was holding two glasses of wine at the time.
"I was in the hospital with Mark Francis and Beth Tweddle with her broken neck, it was like a war zone.
"They were like, ‘What happened?’ I said, ‘Oh, I was just practicing.’ "
