  • Jason Gardiner reunites feud with Gemma Collins after liking “Karma” tweets

    Jason Gardiner reunites feud with Gemma Collins after liking “Karma” tweets

    Jason Gardiner is in danger of reunited the feud between him and Dancing On Ice contestant Gemma Collins after liking a slew of negative tweets aimed at the TOWIE star.

    During last weekend’s episode, an audience of millions watched as Gemma Collins hit the decks during her performance in Dancing On Ice. The feud was first started when Jason launched a tirade against the TOWIE fave and seemed to call her “mediocre”.

    Gemma then swiped back during a live show, in which she said that he had been selling stories about her. Jason then allegedly threatened to sue the reality star.

    However, after her fall on the last show, things between the two had seemed to simmer down. With Gemma racking up a respectable 16.5 points from the judges.

    However, now, Jason has liked a number of comments which describe Gemma as “Vile” and that the fall had been a result of “karma”.

    One read: “Oh @officialJasonG how we all laughed. That’s what ya call karma. Just cannot believe shes still there!!! I no im [sic] evil.”

    Another said: “Keep going as u are, the likes of Gemma Collins makes me sick. She shouldn’t be In the show. Vile. Your [sic] a brilliant judge and know what your [sic] taking about (sic).”

    “Sometimes KARMA is there just staring at you straight in the face. When you fall on it. #honestjudge #myhonestopinion,” somebody else commented.

  • Jason Gardiner just ripped Gemma Collins a new one

    Jason Gardiner just ripped Gemma Collins a new one

    Mr Nasty took a swipe at Gemma Collins and he didn’t hold back

    Living up to his “Mr Nasty” credentials, Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner seemed to slam Gemma Collins for being “mediocre” and described her performance on the ITV show last week as “painful”.

    Speaking to The Sun the Aussie theatre producer said, “When I grew up people were bl**dy good at what they did. They were exceptional at something, so you were inspired by people on TV.

    “Now we celebrate mediocre in this country. That, it seems, has become the new celebrity.”

    He also admitted that he had never seen The Only Way Is Essex, saying that he was “too busy” and that life was “too short” and so he had no idea who the GC was.

    He says he was at first excited to see her performance with Gemma’s own self declared hype, saying, “I had heard the hype from her own mouth, how amazing she is and how she’s better than Beyonce.

    “I thought, ‘Wow, wonderful, I can’t wait’, I’ve never had anyone that confident on the show at week one”

    Paying particular attention to last week’s routine, where Gemma Collins was dressed from head to toe in Gold he described her routine as painful and “uncomfortable” he said,

    “I was so excited. But then she came out and did what can only be described as one of the most painful routines I’ve ever had to sit through because it looked so uncomfortable.”

    Oooh errr.

  • Gemma Collins Evicted To Loudest Boos Of The Series

    Gemma Collins seems to be the “pantomime villain” of the 2016 CBB series after being greeted by loud boos and chants of “off off off” during her eviction interview.

    TOWIE star Gemma Collins is the seventh housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house. She was greeted with a wall of boos and chants of “off off off” during her eviction.

    Asked how she felt about being back in the real world, Gemma told Emma,

    “I’m gonna be in my shop tomorrow. I’m desperate to get back to work. I’ve had an amazing time, but I do feel there was other people in the house that were much better at the tasks than me, that deserve to go on to win the show. I’m not a task type of girl.”

    Emma asked Gemma about her reaction from the crowd. She told her,

    “I take it as a compliment. There’s always gonna be a pantomime villain somewhere. I know who I am as a person, honestly it doesn’t phase me one bit. It was my time to go.”

    Emma then goes on to ask how she really feels about going. Gemma said,

    “It was a massive thing to come in here. I didn’t walk out, I managed to stay for the four weeks. You know I learnt some things about myself in there. I am actually really happy with my life and the things that I’ve achieved so far. I just want to carry on and keep doing the things I’m good at like my clothes designing, my shop. I know who I am as a woman. Just don’t ever ask me to play a game again.”

    Emma questioned whether Gemma enjoys winding people up and Gemma told her,

    “I was on a reality show for nearly four years. For me, you see one hour of it. We live in there 24 hours with the same people and it’s kind of a bit boring. For me, I had to make my own mischief in there. No one can ever judge it until you’ve been in there.”

    Asked about the difference between Gemma and GC, Gemma said to Emma,

    “My special friends know Gemma and my family. That’s how I kind of like it to be honest. I’m not ready to totally give Gemma yet. That’s my bit of protection.”

    Emma asked Gemma who she wants to win and she told her,

    “I would love to see Tiffany or Scotty T win, and of course Danniella. You know, she’s come such a long way.”

     

    Celebrity Big Brother returns tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 5. Emma will be back on Friday at 9pm for the live final.

     

  • Just What Are John Partridge And Gemma Collins Doing?

    This picture isn’t what you think it is…

    You don’t have to fret, John Partridge isn’t mounting Gemma Collins, but rather checking out how flexible the GC actually is.

    Gemma Collins was in a show-off mood in the Celebrity Big Brother house yesterday when she decided to show ex-EastEnder’s actor John her splits.

    Indeed.

  • Gemma Collins Thinks Katie Hopkins Is Lesbian For Her

    Gemma Collins has finally, and at last, squared up to Katie Hopkins, only to suggest that she is Lesbian.

    In a Tweet, Gemma Collins has finally spoken out against motor mouth Katie Hopkins, by questioning her sexuality, saying, “I swear Katie Hopkins fancies me !! Omg why does she keep going on about me she’s an actual bully keep bringing my name up ! Come see me”

    Fellow openly gay TOWIE celeb Bobby Norris jumped in on the conversation by tweeting, “I can’t help but feel Katie Hopkins is obsessed with @missgemcollins ..She is clearly one very unhappy individual #CBB”

    Whilst Gemma was in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, gay icon wannabe, Katie, plunged into a tirade against Gemma and her size, which caused many people to criticise the former apprentice star and branding her a bully and cyber troll.

    In a column for THEGAYUK celebrity life coach Sloan Sheridan-Williams, said, “Katie Hopkins has chosen put herself in the limelight and present herself as someone who preys on those with obvious faults in order to make a name for herself and that she has successfully done, but the people she chooses to talk about are human and have feelings.’

    Katie, who is currently starring Celebrity Big Brother will escape the public vote next week, after only receiving one nomination from Nadia in the face-to-face nominations.

  • Katie Hopkins, Gay Icon Wannabe, Blasted For Fat Jokes About Gemma Collins

    Katie Hopkins is well known for her snarky remarks and quips, however the gay icon wannabe has gotten herself into hot water after blasting I’m A Celebrity’s Gemma Collins for being fat.

    Katie Hopkins has made no secret about wanting to be a gay icon along the likes of Madonna, Kylie or Bette Midler, however after a tirade of abuse aimed at Gemma Collins in I’m A Celebrity, her cause might be sullied somewhat.

    Taking to Twitter numerous times, Katie has tried to stake her claim as a gay icon, however that stake is looking more and more unlikely after hundreds of Gemma Collins fans have shown their outrage of the ex Apprentice’s fat jibes and trolling comments. One of Katie’s tweets earlier in the year outlines her potential credentials of being a gay icon saying, ‘…ambition is to be a gay icon, Hence I wear tan tights with silver shoes (not working x).’

    Gemma Collins, who made her name in the reality TV series, The Only Way Is Essex, has publicly battled with her weight for years. She entered the Jungle on Sunday evening, but walked from the show after deciding that ‘ jungle life is not for her’.

    Jake Hook, co- founder of TheGayUK said, ‘The idea that Katie wants to be a “gay icon” whatever that might mean is ridiculous, those people who have found a place in the collective LGBT community’s heart like Madonna, or Bette, have got there because their positivity towards the LGBT community and strong anti-bullying stances, not latching on to old clichés of what gay men would want from their “gay icons,” or the clear bullying that Katie is so prolific in.’

    Speaking to TheGayUK about Gemma’s departure from the Jungle, leading celebrity life coach Sloan Sheridan Williams said, ‘In terms of public perception, it may appear Gemma Collins has not done herself any favours with such a swift departure from the jungle, but as a therapist I cannot say I am surprised as there are obviously deep seated reasons behind her behaviour which I think warrant compassion rather than judgement.

    ‘An educated commentary on her with relevance to why she left, her naivety or any other general form of discussion and constructive advice on how to overcome her issues that goes with the very nature of being in the public eye is acceptable, but these constant attacks on Gemma’s weight are no doubt having a further damaging effect on her and teenagers everywhere and exacerbating a generation that is already obsessed with weight and body image.

    ‘I would have liked to have seen Katie Hopkins to draw on the fact she is a mother and not open the floodgates to more media attention on weight issues and focus on the heart of the matter which is that Gemma let her fears get the better of her. Gemma had a moment of weakness, she wanted comfort over proving herself to be the next Bear Grylls. That’s all.’

  • COMMENT | Gemma Collins Vs. Katie Hopkins

    Leading celebrity lifestyle and wellbeing expert weighs in on Katie Hopkins’ comments about I’m A Celeb’s Gemma Collins.

    In terms of public perception, it may appear Gemma Collins has not done herself any favours with such a swift departure from the jungle, but as a therapist, I cannot say I am surprised as there are obviously deep-seated reasons behind her behaviour which I think warrant compassion rather than judgement. An educated commentary on her with relevance to why she left, her naivety or any other general form of discussion and constructive advice on how to overcome her issues that goes with the very nature of being in the public eye is acceptable, but these constant attacks on Gemma’s weight are no doubt having a further damaging effect on her and teenagers everywhere and exacerbating a generation that is already obsessed with weight and body image. I would have liked to have seen Katie Hopkins to draw on the fact she is a mother and not open the floodgates to more media attention on weight issues and focus on the heart of the matter which is that Gemma let her fears get the better of her. Gemma had a moment of weakness, she wanted comfort over proving herself to be the next Bear Grylls. That’s all.

    Gemma could actually do a lot of positive with that message showing people that sometimes you need help to get over fears such as a clinical hypnotherapist, life coach or CBT counsellor and that perhaps with hindsight she might have chosen this route. This could be a great message to lots of people who look up to Gemma out there. Perhaps she could even attempt to go in next year and show her fan base that you can conquer your fears and that in the face of what seems impossible there is always room for inspiration. Katie Hopkins is well known for her blunt opinions and perhaps that is what is now expected of her, but as a Therapist I would question why she takes it to such a base level of personal attacks, after all, we are all human, and fallible, and nobody is perfect.

    For Katie to have the ambition to be a gay icon, she should first know what that means. I have heard many definitions including such an icon to be well-versed in the arts of glamour and others suggesting they are inspirational role models but the one definition that stands out the most to me is that a gay icon should have, encourage and help achieve strength through adversity.

    Katie Hopkins has chosen put herself in the limelight and present herself as someone who preys on those with obvious faults in order to make a name for herself and that she has successfully done, but the people she chooses to talk about are human, and have feelings. I do not believe body shaming, attacks that are tantamount to bullying or twitter jibes can be seen as anything but an unpleasant form of entertainment to some and to others a lack of empathy to those who have issues – but iconic – not at all. It is a primal instinct to attack those you perceive weaker that yourself, and we have seen such throughout history.

    For Katie to have ambitions to be a gay icon i would recommend that she need a rethink of her belief system of what is an acceptable form of treating other human beings. I think Lincoln said it best when he said “I would rather be a little nobody, than to be an evil somebody” Not to say Katie is evil but her behaviour is lacking in social grace and understanding of the human condition and in my opinion not in alignment to the strong anti bullying stance of my friends, colleagues and clients who exist both in and out of the Gay community.
