Speaking on today's This Morning, just hours after her exit from the show, Gemma said: "He's there to do his job. I was fine with what he was saying about my skating. I didn't like it when he body-shamed me because that hurt me and I felt embarrassed, that's why I attacked back.

"We all knew I'd never be able to be lifted. I was just out there doing my thing. I would have loved to have been spun around for a count of eight."
