Speaking to The Sun Online, Gemma claims: “I was severely beaten up by my partner the night before I went into the jungle.

“I'm lucky to be alive. He beat me to within an inch of my life.”

Gemma went on to say how ITV bosses begged her not to take part but she insisted she continue.

She said: “When I went in there I was really badly beaten from my neck down.

“ITV didn't want me doing it but because they'd given me such a huge opportunity, how could I not do it?

“I took all the abuse and the stick about leaving the jungle. And every year when the jungle comes on I dread it because people bring up leaving the jungle.

The Towie star says she now wants to go back down under and appear on the show again.

She continued: “I want to go in again and give it another shot.

“I feel that opportunity was taken away from me through no fault of my own.

“I'm ready now and I want people to know what really happened to me.”

Alex was jailed in 2012 for conspiracy to supply cocaine.

Gemma referenced that night previously and said in an interview how Alex had spat food at her before “kicking her and smashing up her flat”.
