The 47-year-old TV presenter criticised the 37-year-old reality star on his Twitter page following their 'Dancing on Ice' row on Sunday (20.01.19), on which she accused him of "selling stories" about her and hit back, calling her a "brat".

Jason tweeted: "Back in the real world... Thank you so much for the outpouring of love & support I've received. I am overwhelmed by it. Faith has been restored as we stand united against such appalling behaviour! #honestjudge #KeepItReal #TruthPrevails (sic)"

Last week, Jason branded Gemma "lazy" and "mediocre".

He said: "I can always see who's lazy. Gemma is lazy. She doesn't look like her heart is in it at all."

The following day, their feud exploded live on 'Dancing on Ice' after Gemma interrupted Jason during his critique of her dance with Matt Evers, during which he said she "lacked elegance" and was "all over the place".

However, before he could continue, she interjected and fumed: "Can I just say one thing? Maybe if you didn't sell stories on me, I wouldn't have been so upset this week. So take that! Boring, boring! Don't sell stories on me."

However, Jason fought back, telling the TV personality: "This doesn't help your cause. It shows you're just a brat. Listen to what we're saying."

When she stepped off the ice, Gemma - who scored a total of 13 out of a possible 40 for her skate - admitted she had a hard week which "knocked" her confidence.
