A source has claimed the TOWIE star was dropped from appearing on Strictly because she got too big for her boots.
In the run up to the BBC announcing the stars taking part in this year’s series, Gemma was allegedly shown the door after her behaviour became too much for bosses.
The 34-year-old allegedly began acting ‘diva’ which an insider says saw her swiftly cut from the line-up.
The source told the Daily Star: ‘Gemma was quite demanding when it came to pre-series filming commitments.
‘Her diva persona is a hit with fans but didn’t go down well at Strictly.’
Awkward.
