Gemma Collins is a survivor! Dancing on Ice star vows to ‘not give up’ as she gives fans sneak peek at routine

Gemma Collins is ready to show Dancing on Ice fans she is a survivor after throwing herself back in to training, days after face planting the ice on live TV.

Collins received her lowest ever score on Sunday night, telling the judges she “lost her nerve” before breaking down.

But the reality TV diva promised to “not give up” as she gave fans a sneak peek ahead of her routine this weekend which will see her skate to Destiny’s Child hit, Survivor.

She shared the teaser on Instagram alongside the caption: “Rough cut off working on Sunday’s routine @themattevers @woo2kaz @thedanwhiston you really helped me build my confidence today and I can’t thank you enough ....

Upset: Gemma Collins with Matt Evers and presenter Holly Willoughby (Matt Frost/ITV/REX )

“Very rough cut but I’m not giving up yet .... and the PUBLIC SUPPORT is OVERWHELMING beyond belief THANKYOU.”

She signed off with the hashtags: “#lottolearn” “#notgivingup” and “#practicemakesperfect”.

Gemma Collins has a spa session

Collins, who recently revealed she has lost two stone on the show, burst into tears on wrapping up her routine to Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do on Sunday night. “I’m really upset because obviously last week I had really improved and then since the fall my nerves have gone,” she told the judges.

She recuperated at Champneys Spa with her professional partner Matt Evers. She posted a video of their relaxing stay which also showed off her badly bruised knees.

Collins' latest post came hours after Brian McFadden branded her alter ego's diva antics “a pain in the a***”.

Addressing the “GC” he said: “Well I love Gemma. The GC can be a pain in the a***. But Gemma herself is brilliant and I love Gemma.”

Dancing on Ice is on ITV, Sunday at 6pm
