Gemma Collins supports devastated Dancing on Ice star Trisha Goddard after horror fall
GEMMA Collins has been supporting devastated Dancing on Ice star Trisha Goddard after her horror fall.
The chatshow legend went crashing onto the ice last Sunday, a year after Gemma fell face first on the ITV ice skating show.
Gemma has shown her support to talk show legend Trisha, after the glamorous 62-year-old landed herself in the skate off after her sudden fall on Dancing on Ice last week.
In an exclusive chat with the Sun Online, Trisha, said: “I’ve had my ‘GC moment’ and now I’m ready to bounce back.
“Gemma even reached out to me as she’s been there and done that. She even tweeted her support.”
Recalling the moment she lost her footing, she said: “My toe pick got caught in the ice, and that was it. I was down in seconds. I hadn’t even reached the harder part of the routine. My ego took a battering to be honest. I felt so sorry for my partner Lukasz too, like I had let him down, but he was so lovely. ”
Trisha has certainly bounced back and has been training every day.
She added: “So many people have asked me if I’m ok, which has been really sweet. So now I’m training all the time. I haven’t even had a day off. I’m in the skate off on Sunday and although I’m nervous I’m going to give it my all.”
Trisha has been overwhelmed by the support from fans, and was touched when Gemma Tweeted: “Well done Trisha @dancingonice. Well done girl.”
Gemma became an internet sensation when the video clip of her fall went viral and made her famous in America.

Despite suffering horrific knee injuries after her fall, Gemma bounced back and made it back on the ice with her partner Matt Evers.
Reflecting on the tumble, Gemma said: “I remember thinking, ‘I’m nearly at the end, I haven’t fallen yet, this is a miracle, maybe I’ll stay in for one more week.
“I got so excited, I just went too over the top with my movement, which you’re not allowed to do in ice skating and my toe pick got caught – and bang.”
She continued: “I thought I was dead. I literally thought I was dead.
“And [pro partner] Matt was going: ‘Get up! Get up! Get up!’
“And then I just got up and I was just like: ‘Oh no, my life’s over.'”
