Gemma Collins may have a turbulent relationship with (currently) ex-boyfriend James Argent, but it's come to light that she’s also has a falling out with one of her TOWIE co-stars.
Saffron Lempriere has announced that the pair are no longer on speaking terms following their time in lockdown.
"Me and Gemma were good friends for a long time. I worked with her in the clothing and we were good friends," she told FUBAR radio.
"We were like sisters really and we rowed like sisters as well as loved like sisters."
The reality star went on to say, "Me and Gemma no longer talk. I wish her all the best and that’s it really."
Saffron wasn't giving anything away when it came to discussing what the falling out was actually over.
"I’m not willing to discuss them. We’ve gone our own separate ways. She’s successful, I wish her all the happiness, best and that’s it," she said.

1 of 12When Gemma paraded through the Big Brother garden with a Shetland pony
When the Celebrity Big Brother stars were asked what one-off luxury they would like to be treated to in the isolated house, what did Gemma ask for? Contact with her family? Nope. A pamper treatment? Not quite... No, the GC asked for none other than a Shetland pony - which she proceeded to dance with around the garden. While stroking the pony, Gemma exclaimed "I want pink ones with glitter in their hair".

3 of 12When Gemma slipped during her Dancing on Ice routine
The 2019 series of Dancing on Ice is the gift that keeps on giving and poor old Gemma had viewers glued to their screens when she tripped over her foot and skidded across the ice. Ouch. The TOWIE queen soon picked herself up and styled through her ice-skating miss-hap. Jason Gardiner reportedly suggested that Gemma's fall was karma for her diva tantrum the week before.
4 of 12When Gemma's entourage fixed her dress on the NTAs red carpet
Can you even call yourself a diva if you don't enlist a personal helper on the red carpet? The GC had her entourage to hand, ready to smooth out any creases in her glamorous dress.
5 of 12When she spent 72 hours in the jungle
Gemma famously lasted just 72 hours in the I'm a Celebrity jungle, but she still managed to make the nation laugh with her outrageous behaviour. The TOWIE star even insisted "People that murdered get treated better than this, and thats the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."
6 of 12Gemma's infamous candy scene
Ah, the early days of Gemma and Arg's relationship. The GC was filmed in a Marbella special, when she famously told on/off boyfriend Arg "Don't ever disrespect a girl like that again. Take a good look at this, you ain't ever gonna get this candy.", before dropping her throw and strutting away in a black swimsuit.
7 of 12Gemma's friendship with Kim K's BFF
Gemma made pals with no other than Kim K's best-friend, Jonathan Cheban in Big Brother, where she told him "By the time you're finished with me, I'm gonna be a Gem-dashian." The stars have been friends ever since and Jonathan even flies over to the UK to visit Gemma, where the pair go on fancy shopping trips to Harrods together.
8 of 12When she was a total diva in an interview
Anyone else still cringe when they remember that painfully awkward chat between Gemma and an interviewer who hadn't read her book? The GC had a major diva-meltdown when she found out the journalist hadn't been seen a copy before holding the interview, thus ending the call, "Darling, don't worry, we're going to get the book publishers to send everyone doing an interview the book. Thank you, bye!"
9 of 12When Gemma went into full GC mode on Jason Gardiner
Dancing on Ice has been full of feisty celeb dramas. Gemma didn't hold back after Jason Gardiner accused of her being lazy. The TOWIE star furiously shouted "Boring!" before yelling, "Don't sell stories on me." Poor Matt Evers couldn't even hide how awkward he felt...
10 of 12When she dumped her date live on Loose Women
Ah, poor Laurence Hearn - the charming man that attempted to win over Gemma, only to be dumped live on Loose Women weeks later. OUCH.
11 of 12Basically, her entire time in the CBB house
Other hilarious moments from Gemma's stint in the Big Brother house included yelling at producers, "I don't need the money! I've got money!". She also got upset when Big Brother failed to provide professional blow-dries: "This is very expensive hair and its all frazzled, because you've only got straighteners in here, you haven't got heated rollers. So, you can pay for me to have a new set of extensions. Straighteners are what weirdos use on their hair."
12 of 12And when she fell down the trap door at the Teen Choice Awards
Talking of Gemma's tumbles - how could anyone forget her iconic fall down the trap door at the BBC1 Radio Teen Choice Awards?
And the plot thickened when Saffron went on to hint that lockdown helped her realise who her friends are.
"I really realised who my true friends were in that time. People that you could just pick up the phone to and I realised that I’d wasted a lot of energy and time on things that I shouldn’t have," she confessed.
"Because at the end of the day, you’ve got to be happy with yourself."
Hmm.

Gemma is yet to speak out about no longer being friends with Saffron but it appears that things didn’t end on the best of terms because they’re no longer following each other on social media.
Saffron joined the show in 2018 as Gemma’s friend but has stuck around and is often seen filming with Bobby Norris, Clelia Theodorou and Chloe Brockett.
The GC briefly returned to the show late last year and invited Chloe and Bobby to join her in the back of a Bentley. We should have known something was going to happen because Saffron didn’t feature in Gemma’s cameo...
Then again, Gemma and Bobby have had some huge rows and they’re still friends.
Remember when he told her he’d rip off her “cheap wig”?
Rude.
