Divina De Campo lifts lid on Gemma Collins feud - “Where was she? On Instagram selling cheap clothes made in China.”

Drag Race UK runner-up Divina De Campo has spoken publicly about past tensions with Gemma Collins.

Divina shared the experience while appearing at Hayley Palmer: An Audience With, a talk show event held at the London Hippodrome. Speaking on stage, Divina said Collins had been booked to appear at a Manchester club but pulled out at short notice.

“We had events upstairs, so we booked Gemma and she cancelled on us three hours before the show,” Divina told the audience. “She said, ‘Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’ll reschedule for two weeks’ time.”

According to Divina, Collins did rearrange the appearance, but then cancelled again moments before she was due to arrive.

“She did reschedule for two weeks later,” Divina continued. “And then thirty seconds before she was meant to be there, we got the call that she wasn’t coming.”

Divina added that Collins was instead posting promotional content on social media at the time, saying: “Where was she? On Instagram selling cheap clothes made in China.”

The drag star also recalled later appearing alongside Collins on the BBC entertainment show All Together Now, where Divina was part of the judging panel. Hosted by Rob Beckett, the programme saw contestants attempt to impress a panel of 100 judges led by Spice Girls singer Geri Horner.

Divina said Collins performed Hey Big Spender on the show, as well as a song from The Greatest Showman. Reflecting on the performance, Divina said: “It was the worst thing that I’ve ever heard in my life - and it filled me with such joy.”
