I’M A Celeb’s Gemma Collins told camp rival Sinitta “f*** you” in a fiery clash after a bitter row erupted in camp.
The reality star hit back after being branded a “joke”, as tensions boiled over between the pair.
The heated exchange left fellow campmates stunned, with the argument quickly escalating in front of everyone.
And since the heated exchange aired on-screen, Gemma has responded to the moment on Instagram.
She posted a clip of herself saying: “Everyone that ever doubted me, said I was never gonna be anything… f*** you.”
The star captioned the video: “Never let people tell your a JOKE ✌🏻💫 I’ve been through thousands of trials and tribulations to get where I am today.”
On last night’s show, Gemma was seen leaping to her own defence after Sinitta asked whether her theatre role was a “joke.”
Back in 2022, Gemma was cast in a production of Chicago and was set to play the role of Mama Morton, in what would have been her theatre debut.
She was given the role after Sinitta played the character in the production the year before.
However, Gemma pulled out of the UK and Ireland tour just days before her first performance due to a knee injury, meaning she never played the character on stage.
After Gemma explained why she had to pull out, Sinitta confessed she thought Gemma’s casting was a joke.
She said: “Is this like a sort of joke announcement?”
Gemma hit back: “Not a joke, Sinitta. I auditioned for it and got it fair and square.
“Did all the training, everything. Had the voice coach.”
Sinitta continued to brand Gemma a “comedian” rather than an actress, even going as far as to say the reality star “doesn’t really do anything”.
She said: “I thought you were that girl, like, you don’t really do anything but you make a great entrance and you make everybody laugh.
“But I didn’t know you could actually sing, dance and all of that. All that jazz.”
Viewers were quick to react to the explosive moment, with many taking sides over the dramatic showdown.
Taking to the comment section, one fan wrote: “You are my winner already Gemma.👏Sinitta and David have shown their true colours”.
Another added: “What Sinitta said was unkind and hurtful! Love you Gemma don’t ever let anyone put you down.”
A third penned: “Girl you took that comment like a trooper. I would have literally thrown shapes at someone who thought I was a joke. Head up.”
