Yahoo News Dancing On Ice star said Gemma Collins must have been “very, very big” before show’s weight loss
Mark Little has some strong words to say about Gemma Collins following his time on Dancing On Ice.
The Neighbours star became the first celebrity to leave the ice staking show after taking part in the skate-off against Ryan Sidebottom.
The 59-year-old commented on Gemma Collins' recent weight loss, after she revealed she’s shed two dress sizes since joining the show.
“That’s what they say about the ice,” Mark said to BUILD Series London: “If you go at it, you burn 1400 calories an hour. That’s why I lost a good amount of weight, I lost 15 kilos. It was just melting off me.
“Gemma, I don’t know her that well, I didn’t know her before the ice, but she must have been very, very big. She’s slimmed down, has she? I don’t know. Good on her for slimming down.”
Discussing the reports she’d been making diva demands, he continued: “Yes, that’s all she did, She’s a diva demander.
“You see her online, young people live online, walking around constantly streaming their life. I don’t know that so I find it gob-smacking, Anything you need to know about Gemma… click on her, she’ll tell you.”
Speaking about the differences between the shows reality stars compared to actors, Mark continued: “Celebs are celebs.
“I’ve never been called a celeb before, it’s not been the way I’ve done things. Some people within the group are full-time celebs, like Gemma Collins, Wes from Love Island, that’s what they do.
“I’m so old-school I was a bit gobsmacked about the way they were carrying on. They are not from the theatre or film, their professional attitude is different to an old-school actor, they are from reality television which is a different beast. They are scary.
“Gemma Collins is scary,” he added.
Dancing on Ice continues next Sunday (January 20) on ITV
