What was all that about, anyone know? Why does Gemmas mum have problems with walking? Broken leg, disability?

[smudgie]

She has osteoarthritis. Needs two new knees I think.
I know it is very painful and can stop you moving about at times.

[kirklancaster]

I'm genuinely glad that she is walking again, but still baffled why a section of the public think her horrible **** of a daughter can 'walk on water'.

She spent so many years running round after that lazy twat she's only got stumps left

I know I shouldn't laugh,but I did.

[hot2go]

Isn't it amazing how she walked for the first time in the week leading up to the final ....and how Gemmas response was not to plan a celebration in honour of her moms achievement but instead to plan a party for HERSELF.

ME SMELL PORKY PIES ME DO

Osteoarthritis but people won't take an opportunity not to take a dig at Gemma even when it's not tasteful, hey

[hot2go]

She's probably trying to make a run for it before Gemma gets back....I know I would

I literally must be watching a different show, the amount of blubbing that went on anyone would think they were forced into the house at gunpoint

Gemma sat on her mum's legs?

Oh you went there

Laugh... but it could be any of you with a major disability in 20-40 years. Getting old sucks and is even more difficult if you have nobody who will help you...

[Maru]

I am glad Gemma's mom is walking. Don't know the condition, but my grandmother recently stayed in home after a full knee replacement and the recovery is BRUTAL. We're still having major problems with her back. She has degenerative disk disease among other things and the pain is enough to put her to tears just standing up to do basic things like making a sandwich... I'm a chronic pain sufferer as well and I wouldn't wish 1/100th of my pain on my worst enemy. Pain is very hard on the body when it is in long duration and severe and can be very mentally and emotionally draining.

Love Mrs Colins, Id vote for her to win.

I don't think people are laughing at her mum's disability, it's more like making fun of Gemma for her callous attitude towards it...i.e. her cutting off her mom to demand that she arrange for a party for Gemma then she hung up on her.

Sorry to hear you're suffering...no one wants to wish that on you or anyone.

[Johnnyuk123]

I am glad that her mom is walking again but very sad that Gemma will soon be out of the house and making her mom walk to KFC to get her regular family bucket for one again.

..yeah, those physical pains that people live with every day and just go on endlessly, a truly horrid thing and as you say, as people get older, the body doesn't recover so quickly and also depending on each individual as well...it's all very 'aging' and draining..I'm so sorry a bout your mum and you as well.....

Agree with this, not laughing at the Mum at all just stunned at how Gemma could ask her to get on with organising a party
