Gemma Collins has promised to make her 'Dancing on Ice' critics eat their words.
The 37-year-old TV star - who is best-known for her appearances on 'The Only Way Is Essex' - has claimed people are expecting her to fail miserably on the show, but Gemma is determined to prove her doubters wrong.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone thinks I'm the fat joke on the show but whatever's going to happen in my life, I can do this. And I'm going to prove every f****r out there wrong. People will be eating their words."
Gemma said she is already feeling the benefit of her skating experience, revealing she's lost a significant amount of weight thanks to the demands of skating.
She said: "There's still a little bit of excess fat there, but I am so much more toned."
Gemma feels much healthier for eating better and exercising on a regular basis.
And she's convinced she has what it takes to excel on the ITV show.
The reality star shared: "I've gone from doing no exercise to exercising two hours a day. When you feel better you don't want to eat s**t.
"I've cut down on a few takeaways because I know that if I have one late at night then I have to come here in the morning, then, you know, I'm not getting around that ice."
