Gemma’s Instagram post came hours after Charlotte, 30, took to her Instagram Stories where she branded the TOWIE star ‘vile and rude’ in a scathing rant.

The Geordie Shore babe said she couldn’t ‘hold her tongue any longer’ and accused Gemma of ‘degrading everyone’ as she unleashed a character assassination.

Beneath an image of Gemma on being interviewed on television, Charlotte wrote: ‘I can’t hold my tongue any longer. This women is the most rudest vilest women I’ve been in the same airspace of.

‘And she gets this kind of exposure. A show that Sir Tom was on and every legend under the sun.’

‘What had this girl done on TV but degrade everyone and act like she’s the dogs b***ocks. I have first hand witnessed her ABSOLUTE RUDENESS.’

Saffron, who joined TOWIE in 2018 as Gemma’s best pal, ended her post by saying: ‘So for everyone asking me why I didn’t take part I would feed you with more b****x.’

The reality star later shared another message to Stories showing what appeared to be an email from Life Stories asking if she’d like to talk about the GC on the show.

However Saffron wrote: Either the show didn’t research or this was another part of the plan. But to everyone saying I’m not supportive etc etc this women caused me upset beyond so please no more! I have not spoken to it for 2 years and will not.’

Charlotte’s shock rant and Saffron’s allegations came as Gemma revealed she felt suicidal as her on-off boyfriend James Argent’s battles with drug addiction destroyed their relationship at the end of 2019. 

During her interview with Piers, she confessed that when her on-off-boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent  hit rock bottom over Christmas of that year, she considered taking her own life.   

Troubled James was taken to hospital for the second time in two months in 2019, after friends and family feared he had attempted a second ‘overdose’. 

Arg would go on to seek treatment at the start of 2020, jetting off to Thailand to spend several weeks trying to kick his drink and drug habit once and for all. 

On his return, home, further heartbreak followed, when Gemma endured a miscarriage at the start of the COVID-19 lockdown last spring – news which took a toll on both her and James.
