Gemma Collins claims someone ate ‘family sized chocolate bars every day’ in secret on Sugar Free Farm as she hits back at Peter Davison and Joe Pasquale after they both slam her
The TOWIE star took to Twitter to defend herself
GEMMA Collins has hit back at her Sugar Free Farm co-stars Joe Pasquale and Peter Davison after the pair took swipes at her involvement in the reality show.
While Gemma has previously spoken positively about her time on the show, the reality star has found herself coming under fire from her former co-stars.
Last week Dr Who star Peter claimed Gemma had appeared on the show as a "self-publicity exercise", while Joe claimed Gemma cheated on the show which sees celebrities turn their back on unhealthy diets and eating only natural wholesome foods.
Shortly after Joe's appearance on Loose Women on Tuesday, a furious Gemma responded with on her Twitter page.
She began: "Really odd that people go on tv to promote themselves yet constantly use my name and I am the topic of conversation.
"The producers are fully aware that the ones protesting constantly wouldn't have pulled in the ratings or showed family size galaxy bars."
She continued: "Being eaten by another cast member claiming that I advised them to cheat who ate chocolate daily in secret but made out to be a saint.
"I loved doing the show and had loads of fun one of the best experiences I've had."
The bubbly Essex girl added: "If you all notice I've not been anywhere speaking any of these individuals names my life's too busy and POSITIVE.
"Let's face it guys without me on it would have been YAWNSVILLE and clearly every interview they want to know about me ha ha."
Gemma, quipped: "I get booked to add the ACTION the DRAMA and the ENTERTAINMENT that's what makes it interesting."
During an appearance on This Morning last week, actor Peter told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield he didn’t think Gemma was taking part in the Channel 5 show for the right reasons.
Initially Peter wasn’t keen on naming Gemma as someone who’d angered him during the experience, however he later admitted he was talking about the Towie star when saying participants “shouldn’t use [the show] to raise our brand profile”.
Peter added: “I just thought it was an exercise in self publicity and self-promotion.
“It spoiled it, I got that she had an agenda – it turned it into a reality show.”
While comedian Joe also followed suit on Loose Women.
He told the audience: "She didn’t do a lot. She slept a lot. It’s TV gold but it’s not my bag.
"She did lose weight but there was a lot of midnight snacks – cheating – she went down and cooked a load of stuff in the middle of the night."
