Gemma Collins WILL NOT leave I’m A Celebrity despite endless threats to quit according to Ferne McCann

We always knew Gemma Collins was going to be brilliant on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! but she’s taken entertainment to the next level.

So far we’ve seen her compare herself to adventurer Bear Grylls, burst into tears in a helicopter even though it hadn’t left the ground, and claim she was going to be so sick her WHOLE STOMACH would fall out if she ever set eyes on porridge again.

And before she even arrived in the jungle she was threatening to leave after choosing to trek in rather than fly, saying: “If I’m not in that camp in three minutes, I’m quitting, it’s the worst thing I’ve done in my life. It’s a nightmare.”

Fast forward to now and Gemma has threatened to quit a GAZILLION more times and has even said she would just end her life if she didn’t get some proper food soon.

But, living in some sort of parallel universe, is her friend and The Only Way Is Essex co-star Ferne McCann, who claims Gemma will definitely NOT walk off the show. Err, WHAT?!

She told Good Morning Britain: “I can’t believe she’s cracked this soon – but she’s definitely not a quitter.”

Ferne continued to stand up for her pal, somewhat strangely full-naming her throughout the television interview, saying: “This is Gemma Collins – this is her – she’s been completely herself… she’s just TV gold… I don’t think you’d want her any other way.”

Meanwhile, Ferne gave the I’m A Celeb campmates a warning about Gemma, who proudly said during the opening episode of the series: “From the minute my eyeballs open, I swear to God there’s gonna be a commotion.”

She said: “The other camp, it’s all very nice… they don’t know what’s going to hit them when Gemma Collins joins them!”

GOOD! Please don’t quit, Gemma!
