Sparks were flying in theĀ Iām A CelebrityĀ camp this evening whenĀ SinittaĀ brandedĀ Gemma CollinsĀ a ājokeā in a bizarre clash about musical theatre. On Thursday night (April 9), Ant and Dec returned to the helm, where they the music mogul faced off against Sean Walsh in a nail-biting head-to-head challenge. But minutes into the show, tensions were on set when the two rival camps merged after spending four days apart.
It was at this point that the 62-year-old musician sparked fury with the TOWIE legend over the popular musical, Chicago. Sinitta starred in the West End musical as Matron āMamaā Morton, a role Gemma herself was due to reprise in 2022.

It was only a matter of time before the topic came up, as Sinitta asked: āWhat happened with Chicago? Because you were supposed to follow me as Mama Morton in Chicago, it was like announced and everything.ā
Gemma bluntly replied: āI had a terrible injury⦠it was something to do with the insuranceā. Despite the believable response, Sinitta was quick to question her response. She snapped back with: āIām sorry, but Iām going to admit it, when I heard you were going to do it, I thought it was a joke announcement.
āI think youād just presented something at an awards show and fell off the stage. It was like you were more of a comedian.ā Clearly offended, Gemma asked: āBut why, Sinitta? Itās not a joke, I auditioned for it and got it fair and square. I did all the training and the voice coach.ā
Sinitta then compared Gemma to Zsa Zsa Gabor, adding: āI thought you were that girl, like you donāt really do anything, but you make a great entrance and you make everybody laugh. But I didnāt know you could actually sing, dance and all that jazz.ā

The comments from Sinitta certainly stung, and she wasnāt the only person taken aback by her comments. Watching on, Scarlett Moffat mouthed āWhatās happeningā to Seann Walsh as the pair came to blows.
Gemma added: āI donāt think you get cast as Mama Morton in Chicago if you could not get past the audition. I am not a joke, darling. I have done everything in my life on my own.ā It didnāt take long before viewers flocked to social media to react to the explosive scenes online.
One user penned: āSinitta did really call Gemma ājoke castingāā as another agreed: āSinitta and Gemma providing more drama in this episode alone than the main series has provided in the last 5 years.ā A third echoed: āSinitta usually comes across as lovely, the hunger must be setting inā as a fourth argued: āDavid and Sinitta, I wouldnāt mind if you went home today.ā
