The GC took off her skating boots for one last time after leaving Dancing on Ice last night

It's fair to say that this year's Dancing on Ice isn't going to be half as entertaining after Gemma Collins was voted off the show last night. The 38-year-old Essex diva became the fifth celebrity to leave, after a skate-off against Ryan Sidebottom.

Gemma has been a controversial contestant ever since she signed up for the show, but the nation warmed to her after THAT fall on the ice during the previous weekend's episode. But, unfortunately, Gemma just wasn't a very good ice skater - harsh, but true.

However, every cloud has a silver lining, as Gemma revealed on This Morning that she feels so much fitter and better, after losing a whopping two-and-a-half stone during her time on the show.

She told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "I will 100% keep up with the fitness, I’m saying this on national TV because I feel so much better. I can just move a lot more. I can do my shoes up.

"I'll be honest, I had about three tyres round my middle. They have gone! [But] I'm still a bigger girl. When I got on the scales I was shocked, because I have actually lost two and a half stone, and the inches as well."

The TOWIE star continued: "I'm in a high street store item of clothing today, a shop that I could never shop in for a lot of years, and that’s what’s been so exciting about it. But just feeling fit, walking up the stairs and being ok. I don’t know what form exercise I'm going to do yet. I might take to the rink once a week…but I want to continue with my fitness."

Gemma also opened up to Holly and Phillip about her clash with judge Jason Gardiner saying: "I did stand my ground with Jason because there are girls out there who are bigger who don’t feel confident going to a gym or starting some form of exercise. I had to show people, do you know what? It is hard, but I’m going to get through this.

"He’s only there to do his job. I was fine with what he was saying about my skating. But I didn’t like it when he body shamed me and because that hurt me and I felt embarrassed that’s why I attacked back."
