Piers Morgan has pledged his support for Gemma Collins amid her Dancing On Ice dramas.
Gemma has faced backlash on the celebrity skating series after she was branded unprofessional by Holly Willoughby and Jason Gardiner.
But Piers has backed Gemma to thrive on the show, throwing his support behind the TOWIE personality, saying: 'You know what? I think they’ve been very mean to her.'
Backing the GC: Piers Morgan has pledged his support for Gemma Collins amid her Dancing On Ice dramas
Chatting on Good Morning Britain, the news anchor, 53, said: 'They put her on the show knowing she’s probably not going to be that great, and now they’ve been sort of taunting her and ridiculing her.
'I think she’s giving it a damn good go. I didn’t think that I’d be the Gemma Collins defender in all this!'
He took the opportunity to specifically slam notoriously-catty judge Jason, saying: 'I think most people watching would be on her side in that debate, because he did give a big interview dumping all over her.'
Piers was referring to an interview Jason gave last week in which he branded her 'mediocre and lazy', after it was reported that Gemma left last week's live show before the broadcast had ended.

As a result, Jason and Gemma were at loggerheads during Sunday night's live episode of the show, with Gemma telling him to 'shut up' and Jason branding her a 'brat'.
Following her performance as Marilyn Monroe on the ice, the TOWIE star, 37, explained she'd had a 'hell of a week', adding: 'It's really knocked my confidence, I haven't been able to get much does as I've been so upset.'
But this was no excuse for the four judges, Jason, Jayne Torvill, Ashley Banjo, and Christopher Dean, who gave the reality star a 13, the lowest score of the series.
And hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly also poked fun at her later on in the show.
Explaining why he gave her only a three for her Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend routine, Jason, 47, said: 'There wasn’t any elegance. Marilyn Monroe was a woman in control of her femininity. You were all over the place still and there was not enough skating content.

Not impressed: But this was no excuse for the four judges, Jason, Jayne Torvill, Ashley Banjo, and Christopher Dean, who gave the reality star a 13, the lowest score of the series
'And as Ashley said, there's not enough skating. This is your second skate now. You need to up the ante. We're not going to see big lifts from you. We're not going to get any impressive moves.'
However, before he could continue, Gemma was quick to jump in and shout: 'Maybe if you didn't sell stories on me I wouldn't have been so much upset this week.'
Continuing her scathing onslaught, the GC proceeded to yell over the choreographer, adding: 'Boring! Next! Don't sell stories on me.'
Yet Jason fought back too, telling the television personality: 'This doesn't help your cause. It shows you're just a brat. Listen to what we're saying.'
Ever the professional, Phillip Schofield was quick to jump in and break up the argument, saying: 'Let's jump in here before it gets completely out of hand.'
Harsh words: Explaining why he gave her only three for her routine, Jason said: 'Marilyn Monroe was a woman in control of her femininity. You were all over the place'
Handing it over to Jayne to give her comments, she told Gemma: 'Skating, yes. You didn't manage the three rotations on the spin. You touched down.
'You said you've had a difficult week and I feel like the routine was very under rehearsed and lacked content.'
Chris also admitted there was a lack of particular moves, adding: ‘There's a lot of production and that looked great. But for the steps, I counted - there was four.’
Shouting: However, before he could continue, Gemma was quick to jump in and shout: 'Maybe if you didn't sell stories on me I wouldn't have been so much upset this week.'
And Ashley urged Gemma to do more skating if she wanted to move further on in the competition.
He told her: ‘I look forward to you skating every week as I'm sure a lot of people do. But the fact of the matter is, there wasn't enough skating. You didn't do enough to do a higher score. It's great that you turned up and you're here but I think moving forward, more skating.’
During the show, the visibly upset star was brutally mocked by show's hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Something to say: Gemma's boyfriend James Argent threw his support behind his love, joking about her 'selling stories' jibe in the comments
When introducing Pussycat Dolls star Melody Thornton, Holly said: 'Well it is time for the final skating star of the night and it's our Pussycat Doll.
'Let's get the inside story as she skates to a song from West Side Story - nobody sold that story that's for sure.'
Moreover, Phillip said: 'Hopefully this week she will be able to put the time in.'
Earlier this week, Jason called Gemma ‘lazy’ and ‘mediocre’, telling The Sun: ‘I can always see who’s lazy. Gemma is lazy. She doesn’t look like her heart is in it at all.’
Elsewhere, EastEnders actor Richard Blackwood has become the second celebrity to be voted off Dancing On Ice.
The 46-year-old and his professional partner Carlotta Edwards were eliminated during Sunday night's musical-themed show, following a skate-off against Saira Khan.
But viewers were left outraged following his exit as some suggested the ITV programme was fixed when Gemma sailed through to next week's show - despite receiving the lowest score of the series from the judges.

She added: ‘We've built a friendship that has lasted forever and that's what means the most to me. And the fact my dad and brother are watching.’

Richard and Saira found themselves in the bottom two after a public vote, it was then up to the judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, Jason Gardiner and Ashley Banjo to eliminate following a skate-off.
He said: ‘This is a really close skate off actually and the two of you, I can see you really want this. But tonight I'm going with the couple that has more of the skating ability.’
Jason opted to save Richard as he felt he ‘has more of the skating ability’, adding: ‘This is a really close skate off actually and the two of you, I can see you really want this. But tonight I'm going with the couple that has more of the skating ability.’

Ashley, too, chose to vote for Richard and Carlotta. However, Chris decided to save Saira based on her save-me skate.
As head judge this week, Jayne was given the casting vote and she opted for Saira, commenting: 'One had the skating, one had the performance but the couple I'm going to save was Saira and Mark.'
Richard is the second contestant to leave the programme, after Australian actor Mark Little was sent home last week.
There are now 10 hopefuls remaining in the ITV competition, including Didi Conn, James Jordan and Gemma Collins.
Fans were disappointed to see Richard leave, with some suggesting it should've been Gemma, 37, in the skate-off, after she received only 13 points from the judges compared to the actor's 18 out of 40.

One wrote: 'Not watching Dancing On Ice. Gemma still in and Richard voted off. Madness.'
Another said: 'Beginning to think dancing on ice is fixed... Gemma Collins stays and Richard Blackwood goes home? Ridiculous.'
A third commented: 'That is a dreadful result. It is Dancing On Ice, not getting thrown around on ice! Of course we know Gemma should have gone anyway! Richard was by far the better skater in the skate off.'

Yet the judges didn't quite agree with Ashley commenting: 'I thought you did a good job. I could certainly see the nerves. I just really want you to relax and release that tension.'

But Piers has backed Gemma to thrive on the show, throwing his support be...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
