Gemma Collins burst into tears after revealing her “confidence has been knocked” by last week’s Dancing On Ice fall.

The TOWIE star, dressed as the Evil Queen, stumbled her way through her skate to Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift.

After a few slips at the beginning, Collins and partner Matt Evers managed to get into their routine but were left languishing at the bottom of the leader board with just 13.5.

Joining presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield at the side of the rink, Collins covered her face as she began to sob.

“I’m really upset because obviously last week I had really improved and then since the fall my nerves have gone,” Collins cried.

But there was one surprise in store for Collins when Jason Gardiner gave her the highest score, a four, out of the judges.

The pair have locked horns since Collins’ ice journey began, with Gardiner recently liking a string of negative tweets about her , but the reality star admitted she actually agreed with Gardiner’s comments about her routine needing better execution.

Last week, Collins was left “heartbroken and devastated” after she crashed to the ground during her skate to It’s All Coming Back To Me .

While beginning to glide across the ice, Collins stumbled and hit the deck before getting back up and finishing her routine, getting her highest score of the series so far with 16.5.
