Gemma Collins is said to be cashing in on her popularity in the wake of Dancing on Ice by charging thousands of pounds for club appearances.

The GC, who got the boot on Sunday night’s show, is reportedly charging as much as £13,000 for a one hour appearance, which works out at £216 per minute.

“Gemma’s value and money-making ability has sky rocketed since Dancing on Ice – everyone wants to book her,” a source told The Sun.

“But she’s The GC – she’s not going to turn up for free.”

Collins, who is dating TOWIE co-star James ‘Arg’ Argent, is said to be in talks to capitalise on her raised profile.

“Gemma is obviously very business savvy and is keen to strike while the iron is hot,” a source told the Mirror. “It could end up being a huge step forward in her career.”

Standard Online has contacted a representative for Collins for comment.

Collins hit the headlines throughout her time on Dancing on Ice after several spats with judge Jason Gardiner and a nasty fall during a live performance.

The pair locked horns after Collins accused the Australian choreographer of “selling stories” about her and commenting on her weight.

Gardiner criticised her lack of elegance and branded her a “brat”. He later appeared to suggest her epic fall was “karma” after liking a string of negative tweets about her.

She was booted out on Sunday night agfter failing to win over the judges in a skate off against Ryan Sidebottom. Gardiner described her behaviour on the show as “disturbing” following her exit, while Collins said she felt “embarssed” by it.
