Craig Revel Horwood risked facing the wrath of Gemma Collins last month when he referred to her as too ‘low rent’ for Strictly Come Dancing.
And the TOWIE star, 36, has now hit back at the dance show judge’s desire to blacklist reality stars from the BBC One show – admitting that she found his comment ‘funny’ and explaining that ‘everyone had to start from somewhere’.
Speaking to The Sun, the bubbly TV sensation revealed: ‘I’m not low rent, Craig. We’ve all got to start somewhere and it’s a shame to just knock someone out of giving them a chance because they don’t think I’m high calibre enough.’
