OVER AND OUT
Gemma Collins missing at end of Dancing On Ice after telling Kem Cetinay she was ‘bored and had gone home’ – as Holly and Phil scold her for being late to dress rehearsal
GEMMA Collins went missing at the end of last night's Dancing on Ice after deciding to "go home" because she was "bored" - leading Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to scold her behaviour.
Last night's show saw Mark Little become the first celebrity to be voted off after the second batch of stars took to the ice.

However Gemma had performed in the first week, and only had to skate in the group dance.
But presenter Kem Cetinay revealed on today's This Morning that Gemma was late for the dress rehearsal, after previously holding everyone up at the group rehearsal, which was shown on last night's show.
He told Phil and Holly: "So we did the group routine rehearsal before and she was having a nap. She wasn't there."
Phil replied: ";The entire studio, that is that massive studio with all the people involved were all standing there waiting."

Gemma Collins arrives fashionably late to Dancing on Ice rehearsals as she keeps up her diva behaviour
Holly added: "Including Jayne and Chris who were sitting on the judging panel as it was a full dress rehearsal."
Phil continued: "Then we found out 'Where is Gemma, where is Gemma' like five, ten minutes, schedule knocking on, schedule knocking on, then we find out oh she's had a nap."
Kem carried on: "So then I thought she might have learned from her mistake, we went into the live show and the last quarter of the show she went missing."
However Phil said Gemma had actually "went home" while Holly asked: "Did she tell anyone she was going?"

Kem replied: "I didn't know she went until after, we saw this video [of the celebs saying farewell to Mark on the ice] and I was thinking 'where's Gemma?'
"I went to her dressing room, she wasn't there, so I did speak to her after and she said she was a bit bored but she does love skating."
Holly was unimpressed by her antics, and said: "The thing is I really love Gemma, you know I'm a big fan of Gemma's and I think she's great on the show, I do, but I think there has to be a little bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do.

"Just a bit of pride in your work and you just shouldn't do that."
Phil added: "In all the years I have been in TV I have never kept a studio waiting like that."
Kem tried to defend Gemma by saying it was part of her 'The GC the Diva' persona, but Holly was having none of it.

She replied: "No that's absolute rubbish.
"That's just a really good excuse to get away with stuff you don't want to do.
"I love that side of her but professionalism will always outweigh any of that diva behaviour."
