The 32-year-old reality star has backed his pal, who was in tears after getting a disappointing score of 13.5pts out of 40 on Sunday evening's show (03.02.19), to go all the way on the ice skating series after she was saved in the public vote last night.
Speaking on Monday's episode (04.02.19) of 'This Morning', Bobby said: "I think she's gonna try and pull it out of the bag next week. She's gonna be in full GC mode and every week I just can't wait to see what her outfit is gonna be, what performance she's gonna put on.
"I really think she can [win], she's got a really good shot at it if the public stay behind her and, touch wood they do, like social media is always blowing up when she's performed and yeah, I think she's got a really good chance."
Bobby - who has been on the 'The Only Way Is Essex' since 2012 - says Gemma was in a lot of pain following her tumble on the ice last month, and admits it was important she got her "confidence" back.
He added: "With Gem, when she puts her mind to something, she really wanted to do well. So from October, when she found out, she was down the rink six days a week and really was taking it seriously.
"I spoke to her this morning and she was so gutted and she cried because she knew she could have done better but she's been in so much pain form the fall the week before and realistically it takes some confidence to get back on the ice after a fall like that. She's a brave girl.
"I think it shows the public are really behind her, she literally could go out there and sit on the ice and she would still get votes because Gemma's an entertainer and she might be at the bottom of the leaderboard but people are behind her, they are voting for her."
