Splash! star Gemma Collins doesn't want to be seen as "just a big whale in the pool"
The TOWIE blonde also hopes "to show that big girls are beautiful" as she competes in the second series of the diving show
The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins is set to make a Splash! as she's put through her paces by Olympic diving star Tom Daley in the second series of the diving show.
The TV favourite says she doesn’t want to be seen as “just a big whale in the pool” and hopes “to show that big girls are beautiful.”
And the 32-year-old blonde couldn't hide her excitement over landing a place in the final line-up.
"Thank you for your amazing comments," she wrote, "I'm so excited to be in splash you will all be surprised."
When a handful of people replied to her tweet with barbed comments, Gemma's followers quickly came to her defense, including one fan who urged her to ignore all the cruel jibes.
"@missgemcollins you will bring some glamour and fun to the show Gemma - ignore all negative comments - some right sickos out there... Xx."

Celebrities are preparing to make a Splash! as the ITV diving show comes back for a second series.
Meanwhile Hollyoaks actress Gemma Merna, 29, is also preparing to take the plunge alongside TV presenter Michaela Strachan.
But the 47-year-old says she doesn’t “do glamour” and prefers to be “more comfortable in khaki and a woolly hat.”
Diversity star Perri Kiely, 18, and former EastEnders actor Ricky Groves, 45, will also be joining the girls in the first round of heats.
* Splash returns 5 January 2014 at 7.20pm on ITV
