Last week, TOWIE’s Gemma Collins declared that she was killing off her “loud, brash, bit of a prick” alter-ago, GC. But it looks like GC had other ideas in yesterday’s follow-up episode…
Yep, Gemma managed to fall out with pretty much everyone around her – even BFF Bobby Norris – AND is now claiming she’s being bullied. Brilliant.
It all started when Gem led the rest of her gang in doing some particularly unflattering impressions of Lauren Pope, after Lauren did one of her last week.
Importantly, Bobby, Chloe Sims, Danielle Armstrong and Jess Wright didn’t exactly stop her from going off, which turned out to be pretty important to the plotline later on.
Meanwhile, Lauren got upset while talking with Vas J Morgan about Gem’s treatment of her, telling him: “Gemma’s gone in hard. She said I’m a Kylie Minogue wannabe. I drink hot water and lemon. I’m a Botox face. She said I have no personality.
Lauren added: “She’s loud, rude and unnecessary.”
Ouch. Vas quickly told Lauren that Gemma was just jealous and said she “confuses being a bitch with personality, it’s disgusting”.
As the temperature soared, so did the tensions – at a pool party the next day, Gemma and Lauren came face to face, and Gem let it RIP.
“I came here to see Lauren’s fantastic impressions of me,” she said to the pair with a big grin on her face.
“You’re just a nasty person,” shouted Vas.
“You haven’t got a personality, you're just nasty. People laugh at you, not with you. She’s come over here with a big smiley face, but she’s going around bitching. I’m not having you do it to Lauren too.”
Eesh. Lauren then told Gemma to “f**k off” before Gem went completely nuclear… by revealing BOBBY had been doing impressions of Lauren too!
All hell broke loose, with Bobby yelling at her retreating back to “Come back and tell the truth!” before Gemma chucked a drink at him.
JEEZ, Gemma. It comes just a few weeks after TOWIE bosses decided not to film with her after her behaviour in Marbella, but last night’s episode seems to have blown open the dramz again.
Just look at what Gemma tweeted this morning:
Sheesh. “Theatening”, Gemma, really?
Bobby, meanwhile, has RTed loads of supportive messages, and posted THIS image obviously aimed at Gemma:
Oh dear.
In the Vas and Lauren camp, Vas has responded to Gemma’s bullying claims and now says SHE is the bully:
We actually can’t keep up anymore. We’re off for a sit down and a big glass of pre-lunch wine.

"People are going to see the real bare, stripped-back me. I might just become Bear Grylls, you never know."We never did get to see Gemma chowing down on a raw snake, drinking her own urine or sleeping inside a rancid camel (yep, Bear Grylls has seriously done all of those things).

"Yeah alright, I've cracked at the first hurdle. It's like the turtle and the slug or the horse and the rabbit or something, I can't remember what it is."Who could forget the age-old story of the turtle and the slug?

"If they don’t give us a treat I’m going to kill myself.”Well, the suicide threats didn’t work, but outside of the jungle is a plentiful world of treats just waiting for Gem.

"I've never been in a shower which takes so much hard work but you've just got to roll with it, like Oasis said."

"I feel like I’ve got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we’ve got to get out of here today.”Symptoms of malaria do not include yellow poo, constant whinging or an Essex accent, sorry Gem.

"Seriously, I'd give anything for a bit of dried fruit. Dried fruit! I'm not even asking for a ham sandwich. You know what I mean? With a packet of Quavers on the side."We’re not sure dried fruit is the best remedy for fluorescent yellow diarrhea Gem, maybe just stick to dry bread and water until the ‘malaria’ clears up.

"People that murder get treated better than this, and that's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."Murderers also don’t get paid at least £25,000 to go on a jolly holiday to Australia either. They also tend not to have strops and quit their sentences, but who cares about the details….

"If I'm not in that camp in three minutes, I'm quitting."That’s what the helicopter was for, Gem.
