Gemma Collins hits out at fellow TOWIE stars

Don't anger the GC!

Gemma Collins has been a constant source of entertainment this year – culminating in her spectacular tumble at the Radio One Teen Choice Awards.

But she’s also been great value on telly, and we’ve been hanging onto every moment of her will-they-won’t-they romance with Arg.

Recently she gave both barrels to the current list of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmates, branding them all “boring.”

What we’ve learned is that if there’s one person we don’t want to be on the wrong side of, it’s the GC.

And the latest group to come under fire are her very own TOWIE co-stars – more specifically, the newcomers.

Gemma spoke to OK! Magazine about her future on the long-running reality show, and said: “The main cast have given their lives to the show.”

“New people come in and think they’re a star. They’re wrong. I won’t mention names but some don’t have what it takes to entertain the nation so they have to go.”

The Queen of Essex didn’t stop there, and spoke about her own role in the show, saying: “When I said I’ve earned my divaship, it’s not like I walk around and expected perfume sprayed in my path, but the main cast were on TOWIE when some of these people were still in their school uniform.”

It’s been reported in recent weeks that TOWIE bosses were looking to shake the cast up, especially after new additions hadn’t pulled in much in the way of viewing figures.

And allegedly new stars like Chloe Lewis, Amber Dowding and Chris Clark are all vulnerable to the chop.

An insider told The Sun: “Gemma always pours her heart out on the show, and Chloe Sims had very emotional scenes this series.”

“They don’t hold back on camera and know that a bit of social media hate is part and parcel of being on a big show like TOWIE.’

“But some cast haven’t been getting as much screen time and that puts them at risk.”

So there you have it – once you’ve got Gemma for an enemy, we expect it’s a very long way back.

And hopefully we can look forward to plenty more of the GC – and all her TOWIE co-stars – on our screens for a long time to come.
