She posted a picture of herself in a bright pink thong swimsuit saying she was "a Romford girl that’s smashed it on so many levels".

It comes after Tilly, 19, challenged Steve over his remarks, saying: "Being called out on a national radio station by a 67-year-old man is a step too far."

The early-morning radio host also spoke about Gemma's weight in old tweets referring to her as 'Gemma the Hut'.

One tweet about Towie in 2014 read: "That’s Bobby and Harry, the really out to lunch Lydia Dim and her on off boyfriend fat boy fat Arg, who slept with the beach hut Gemma."

Posting on Instagram today Gemma wrote: "I’ve had a few people this past week 🙌🏻month 🙌🏻 ten years in spotlight be rude to me about me …..🙌🏻.

"Firstly I’m sorry my bright light reminds you of how miserable you are and secondly Y’all need to all remember who the F I IS 🙌🏻 a Romford girl that’s smashed it on so many levels 🙌🏻.
