Yikes.

Holly Willoughby has thrown some serious shade at Gemma Collins because of her behaviour on Dancing On Ice.

Dancing On Ice reporter and former Love Island star Kem Cetinay was chatting to Holly and Philip Schofield on This Morning.

Kem explained:

“Gemma wasn’t performing this week, but as always she had the headlines.”

“We were preparing for the group routine rehearsal before – she was having a nap!”

Holly interjected, saying: “We all very well know what happened.”

Kem continued, giving more insight into Gemma’s place on the show.

“We went into the live show, and then the last quarter of the show, she went home.”

“Well I didn’t know she went until after but then we saw this video and I was thinking, ‘I don’t know where Gemma is,’ and I went to her dressing room and she wasn’t there.”

“So I did speak to her after and she said she was a bit bored, but she does love skating.”

Enter: Holly Willoughby with the shade.

“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 bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do, just a bit of pride in your work.”

She’s dead right, in fairness.

Even Philip had his say, insisting: “In all the years I’ve been in television, I have never kept a studio waiting.”

And Kem sort of jumped to Gemma’s defence, saying that “I think, she says it’s not Gemma Collins, that’s The GC.”

Naturally, Holly had no time for that BS, replying;

“But then 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, I do love it, but I do think professionalism will always outweigh that diva behaviour.”

YES HOLLY!
