Gemma Collins Takes a Spectacular Fall on I'm A Celebrity
In a hilarious and unexpected moment on tonight's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Gemma Collins, 45, found herself crashing to the ground after falling out of a hammock. The incident occurred as the camp settled down for the evening, with fellow celebrities Adam Thomas and Scarlett Moffatt sharing emotional stories about their families. Gemma attempted to sit on the hammock, but it swung backwards abruptly, leaving her legs up in the air and the rest of the camp in fits of laughter.
David Haye Rushes to the Rescue
Boxer David Haye, 45, quickly scrambled to assist Gemma, helping her back to her feet and remarking, 'That's a terrible start.' Gemma gasped, 'Oh, David, oh my god,' as she rolled on the floor, while former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, 35, shouted, 'Get the camera!' Adam Thomas checked in from across the camp, asking if she was alright, to which Gemma replied, 'I'm fine, I've had a lot worse falls, oh, thank you David.' David encouraged her to take it steady as he helped her into the hammock, prompting more laughter from Adam and Scarlett.
Camp Dynamics and New Arrivals
Scarlett later told Gemma, 'You know what, Gemma? We were nearly crying over here missing our kids, I’m on top of the world now.' Gemma concluded, 'David Haye came to my rescue. I’m winning at life!' Elsewhere in the episode, hosts Ant and Dec revealed that the celebrities would be split into two kingdoms: The Lions and The Rhinos, competing in trials for dinner privileges. New campmates Jimmy Bullard and Harry Redknapp arrived in a carriage, taking thrones as kings of their respective teams.
Ongoing Feud with Sinitta
This lighthearted moment contrasts with the ongoing tension between Gemma and Sinitta, which has spilled over into social media. The feud began when Sinitta, 62, commented that Gemma's role in Chicago was a 'joke', leading to a foul-mouthed rant from Gemma. Recently, Gemma posted a clip on Instagram with the caption, 'Never let people tell your a JOKE. I’ve been through thousands of trials and tribulations to get where I am today.' She has also unfollowed Sinitta on social media, while following all other co-stars, a move interpreted as a clear statement.
Sinitta's Response and Edited Footage
Sinitta has since criticized the show for editing their conversation, claiming it was taken out of context. She explained on social media, 'I didn’t call her a joke, I said I thought the announcement was a joke at the time.' She emphasized that they bonded over discussing Chicago and that the edit omitted amicable parts of their talk. The feud escalated further when Gemma made a stinging remark about Sinitta's 40-year on-and-off relationship with Simon Cowell, suggesting he only calls her back when he fancies. Gemma reflected in the Bush Telegraph, expressing disbelief at waiting for a man to call back.
Background and Camp Reactions
The second series of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa was filmed last September, but tensions remain high. A source noted that Gemma's social media actions have sparked talk among fans. In the camp, Scarlett was seen wide-eyed during the Chicago discussion, mouthing to Seann, 'What is happening?' Sinitta has defended herself, stating she is a kind person and that open conversations are being misrepresented. The episode airs tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX, promising more drama and laughs as the celebrities navigate challenges and interpersonal dynamics.
