What happened between Gemma and Holly Willoughby?

Gemma Collins was criticised on This Morning by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield (who also present Dancing On Ice) for her diva behaviour.

Backstage presenter Kem Cetinay revealed on the show that she missed a dress rehearsal because she was "having a nap."

He also claimed she left before the end of a live show and missed Mark Little's exit because she was ";bored" so decided to go home. 

Speaking on This Morning, Holly, 37, said: “I love Gemma. I’m a big fan of hers. I love her on the show.

“But I do think there has to be a bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do, just a bit of pride.”

Phillip added: "In all the years I've been in television I have never kept a studio waiting."

However sources claim that Kem is a good friend of Gemma's and later apologised to her for his comments, claiming that This Morning bosses made him criticise her.

Why did Holly Willoughby present I'm a Celebrity 2018?

On August 29, 2018 it was confirmed Holly would join Declan Donnelly in hosting I'm a Celebrity, as Ant McPartlin continues his stint in rehab.

In a statement released on This Morning, she said: "I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure.

"I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery. These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit.

"Honestly, I’m a huge fan of I’m a Celebrity and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show.

"When is it a good time to tell Dec I’m scared of everything that moves?"
