Chris Pratt is a HUGE Gemma Collins fan

Gemma Collins has found an unlikely fan in Chris Pratt.

The TOWIE regular has offered the Hollywood star two tickets to watch her perform on Dancing on Ice this weekend after he confessed his love for her.

Pratt made the admission during promotion for the new LEGO movie, telling Glamour: “The GC, she’s a real star, I love that show. I watched it when I was out here shooting years ago. I got hooked on it.

“I’d be a little star struck if I met Gemma.”

Pratt looked concerned to learn of Collins’ recent fall on Dancing on Ice and sent her a heartfelt message.

“Stop! And she fell hard? Did she hurt herself? Is she ok?” he asked. “Oh Gemma, I’m sorry darling.”

Collins shared the video on her Instagram page, telling fans the shout out was the best birthday message.

She posted: “Wow my birthday dreams have come TRUE @prattprattpratt thank you for your lovely messages and I’ve got you 2 tickets to come and see me on @dancingonice.”

Pratt’s support will no doubt motivate Collins ahead of Sunday night’s show after a tough week saw her accused of faking her fall.

She later slammed the claims, insisting she “blacked out” seconds before hitting the ice. She claimed she had been “wired up to machines” shortly before her routine after being left with “chest pains because of low blood pressure”.

But her professional partner Matt Evers appeared to shut down the claims, saying she was so in the “achievement zone” she stumbled.

Dancing on Ice is on ITV, Sunday at 6pm
