But Gemma might not be around Essex for too long as it’s been claimed that she is vying for a spot on Dancing With The Stars in the US.

Sources claim the TOWIE star has vowed to crack America by taking to the dancefloor after being supposedly snubbed by Strictly Come Dancing for being too ‘low-calibre.’

A source told The Sun that Gemma is determined to crack the US after impressing fans with her cameo on an Orange Is The New Black promo, and is hoping a spot on DWTS could be in her future.

They said: ‘Gemma would love to have another crack at the US. The Americans loved her when she made a cameo on Orange is the New Black in 2018, and bookers on Dancing with the Stars have shown an interest.

‘Gemma’s schedule is always jam-packed and it’s difficult for this year but the team in the US are keen to secure her for 2021.’

Dancing With The Stars is expected to return to US screens later this year, though there are expected to be changes to the show’s format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Back in 2017, Gemma was unimpressed when Strictly judge Craig Revel-Horwood implied she was too ‘low calibre’ to take part in the show.
