Gemma Collins has been open about how hard she’s found training for Dancing On Ice – and it seems we can all thank her co-star for getting her through the last few weeks.
The Only Way Is Essex star has hailed Brian McFadden as her “support” and “saviour” as the skating show begins.
Taking to Instagram, Gemma, 37 – who has been paired with pro skater Matt Evers in the ITV competition – shared a short video of herself singing “You raise me up!” to the Westlife singer.
Next to the clip, she wrote: “Support award 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 @brianmcfadden123 you have been so AMAZING with me throughout this journey 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 thank you 🙏 every time I have a wobble you’re right there picking me up again, thank you so so much for being my rock throughout this competition with @themattevers 🥇.”

It followed Gemma also labelling Brian, 38, her “saviour” during some behind-the-scenes videos on her InstaStories.
Sitting in the makeup artist’s chair, the I’m A Celeb star explained to fans how exhausted she’s been. As the Irish singer approached, she told those watching: “Brian’s going to come to my home tonight and, basically, we need injections to liven us right up.”
Brian – who has been dating PE teacher Danielle Parkinson for two years – joked: “One in each cheek for me. And a new liver. Maybe a bottle of gin to take the edge off?”
Speaking more seriously, Gemma added: “Brian’s been my saviour. You have been a saviour.” She added to fans: “What present can I buy Brian for being so amazing?”
