CHRISTOPHE­R Dean has slammed Gemma Collins over her diva antics.

The Dancing On Ice judge and skating legend has not been impressed with her behind-thescenes behaviour.

Last week, Gemma held up rehearsals for a group performanc­e when she turned up late after having a nap.

He said: “I wasn’t aware that Gemma had left early until a while afterwards when people were talking about it. “What Gemma needs to learn is it’s all about being part of a team.

Christophe­r wants her to put in more hours to improve her ability on the ice.
