Gemma Collins set to unveil harrowing images of injuries from alleged 'domestic abuse'

Back in 2014, Gemma Collins infamously quit I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! after just three days in the jungle.

At the time, she was ridiculed for complaining she'd contracted malaria, and getting hysterical about jumping from the plane.

But she then claimed there was much more going on behind the scenes, saying her partner Alex Moss had actually beat her the night before she flew out to Australia - something he has vehemently denied in the past, and was never charged for.

But now Gemma has claimed she's going to release pictures of her injuries from the alleged attack, ahead of I'm A Celebrity's return later this year.

Speaking to Mirror TV, she claimed: "I've been sitting on these pictures for three years, but people need to know.

"It was bad timing, but now I'm really happy and finally free, now I can finally clear it up.

"I've had to laugh and joke with people and I'm thinking, 'Mate you don't know what happened'.

"I was really severely beaten up by my partner the night before I went into the jungle, and not many people know.

"My partner Alex beat me to within an inch of my life, and when I went in there, I was really badly beaten from my neck down."

The TOWIE star may very well be going back into the jungle this year

Gemma went on to reveal I'm A Celeb bosses tried to stop her from taking part in the show, but she insisted she'd be fine.

She told us: "Because they'd given me such a massive opportunity, I was like, 'How can I let everyone down?' and then I had to take all the abuse and the stick that went with it for so long after.

"Now when it comes on, I dread it.

"I feel like that opportunity was taken away from me through no fault of my own.

"He was a bastard really."

Alex was previously jailed in 2012 for conspiracy to supply cocaine and taken into custody at the end of 2014 after breaching conditions of his previous licence.

But it seems there's still a chance Gemma could be heading into the jungle later this year.

When asked if she'd consider returning, she said: "Absolutely. People wold love to see me in the jungle!"
