Remembering her time on Katie's reality show Signed... six years ago, Jemma continued: "She’s very selfish and self-centred, and when I used to live with her those around her were very much, 'Yes, Katie.'

"Those closest to her just live in her shadow like her slaves. She can make them do anything."
