Gemma Collins has threatened to quit Dancing on Ice days before the launch.

The reality TV star, 37, has taken umbrage at her opening number after professional partner Matt Evers revealed she will be skating to the Venga Boys.

“I think you’re going to be very excited about today,” Evers said in a teaser ahead of Sunday night’s launch. “I’m going to reveal our music.”

“Do you know what, I feel fine,” Collins said before hearing the track We Like to Party! (The Vengabus).

“I’m not coming out to that,” she said. “Are you joking? I’m leaving the show. Is this a joke?”

Evers said: “It’ll be like a big old production.”

Unconvinced, Collins replied: “No I’m not coming out to that song.”

But she appeared to come round to the 90s track as she pretended to ride the Vengabus around the ice rink.

Collins will make her debut on the ice when she joins James Jordan, Jane Danson, Mark Little, Saara Aalto and Grease actress Didi Conn on Sunday night’s show.

Collins, who has dropped a dress size since training, previously warned viewers not to underestimate her abilities, saying she will not stand to be the “fat joke”.

“Everyone thinks I’m the fat joke on the show but whatever’s going to happen in my life, I can do this,” she told the Sun. “And I’m going to prove every f**** out there wrong. People will be eating their words.

“When I first started, I couldn’t even cross my legs over. I was like, ‘Oh no, my legs are too big,’ but now they cross over fine. I think people will be impressed with what I can do.”

Dancing on Ice is on ITV, Sunday at 6pm
