Tensions rose on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! when Gemma Collins found herself in a heated exchange with fellow campmate Sinitta, who questioned the legitimacy of Gemma’s career. In an awkward moment, Sinitta, 62, referred to Gemma, 45, as a “joke” and even cast doubt on her musical theatre career.
The conversation began innocuously enough, with Sinitta bringing up Gemma’s planned role as Mama Morton in Chicago, which Gemma was forced to pull out of due to a knee injury. However, things took a sour turn when Sinitta suggested that the announcement of Gemma’s casting had seemed like a joke.
Gemma, clearly taken aback, defended herself, saying, “Not a joke, Sinitta. I auditioned for it and got it fair and square. Did all the training, everything. Had the voice coach.”
But Sinitta didn’t let up, telling Gemma, “When I heard you were doing it, I thought it was a joke announcement,” and even referenced Gemma’s infamous fall off the stage during the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in 2017. Sinitta added, “I thought you were more of a comedian than an actress,” insinuating that Gemma didn’t really have a serious career.
The tension was palpable, and the exchange left their co-stars, including Scarlett Moffatt and Seann Walsh, cringing in uncomfortable silence. Sinitta continued to mock Gemma, saying, “You make a great entrance and you make everybody laugh,” before finally admitting that she hadn’t realized Gemma could sing, dance, and act.
Despite the harsh criticism, Gemma kept her cool and responded confidently, saying, “I don’t think you’d get cast as Mama Morton in Chicago if you didn’t pass the audition.”
The confrontation is set to air tonight, and viewers can expect to see the ongoing fallout from this fiery clash. Would you like more details on this confrontation or the I’m A Celeb drama surrounding the two?
