Gemma Collins 'threatened with legal action

Gemma Collins has reportedly been threatened with legal action by Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner amid their ongoing 'bullying row' reports The Sun.

The TOWIE star, 37, accused Jason, 47, of selling stories on her during a vitriolic exchange on Sunday night's show.

And now Jason is said to be planning to take legal action over her alleged defamation of his character. 

A source told the publication: 'Jason has made Gemma aware that he intends to sue her. He's livid.

'He insists that all he did was give an interview, where he was asked about lots of things, including Gemma.  

'She's very stressed about the idea of being sued and she wants the situation to die down so she can focus on her skating. This has become the biggest reality show war ever.'

A representative for Jason told MailOnline: 'Gemma’s own skating partner Matt Evers has publicly apologised on Twitter for making the same false claims as Gemma that Jason ‘sold stories’.

'Jason gave an interview to promote Dancing On Ice with The Sun last week. Within this interview he was asked about Gemma Collins and all the contestants. He gave his opinion, that is all.'
