The 'Only Way Is Essex' star fell on her face during her performance on the show last Sunday night (27.01.19) and admits it knocked her confidence.

Speaking after her skate this week (03.02.19), she admitted: "I'm really upset because obviously last week I had really improved and then since the fall, my nerves have gone."

Gemma and judge Jason Gardiner famously fell out on the show a few weeks ago when she accused the choreographer of "selling stories" on her but this week, Jason gave the television personality her highest score from all the judges, a four.

And Gemma even seemed to bury the hatchet with Jason as she agreed with his comments that her routine needed better execution and even asked if they could be "friends".

Gemma had to use her mother Joan's wheelchair for a few days this week after her fall because her knees were very bruised from the slip up.

Her boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent said: "Gemma couldn't sleep last night because she's in so much pain. The swelling around her thighs and knees is horrific, and she's black and blue all over. She's struggling to walk so I had to carry her to the car earlier, and she's been using Joan's wheelchair on and off all day because she's in so much pain. She's seeing a private doctor tomorrow who will determine what will happen next. It will be her worst nightmare if she's forced to pull out of the show, she doesn't want to be a sick note, she wants to continue and we strongly believe she's a real contender to win."

The GC previously admitted she was "absolutely devastated and embarrassed" by the fall but couldn't wait to get back onto the ice.

She wrote on Instagram at the time: "Absolutely devastated & embarrassed. My heart is broken but when I went down I thought of @gypsyking101 Tyson Fury and knew I had to get back up & carry on! Can't thank you enough for your support on social media and picking up the phone to vote! I'm in a lot of pain but bring on fantasy week!! (sic)"
