Holly hosts the main show with her presenting partner Philip Scholfield, and so is well clued in on all of the TOWIE star's backstage antics.
And now she’s offended the reality star so much with her comments that Gemma was reportedly left in ‘floods of tears’ and threatened to quit after just one live show.
Speaking on her regular gig on day time show This Morning, Holly suggested that Gemma should rethink her attitude to work.
“I love Gemma. I’m a big fan of hers. I love her on the show,” said Holly.
“But I do think there has to be a bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do, just a bit of pride.

“You just shouldn’t do that.”
Phil went on to elaborate that Gemma had held up the entire studio on Sunday when she decided to take a nap, and that she had refused to stay for the end of the live show because she was “bored”.
“Gemma’s a nightmare but is getting away with it because producers know she’s the biggest draw,” a source told The Sun.
“On the first show she told an exec she was the star so shouldn’t have to be in group performances or stand on the balcony to watch the others. On social media she makes out she’s pals with them but in reality she doesn’t care.”
They added, “She’s devastated by everything that’s been said about her and is threatening to quit. She’s feeling there’s a conspiracy to bring down their biggest star."
