The GC more than lived up to her reputation as her ITVBe fly-on-the-wall series kicked off.

With a show called Diva Forever, it was clear from the off that Gemma Collins was not planning to be on her best behaviour in her new reality series.

And sure enough, in Wednesday night’s first episode, The GC more than lived up to her “diva” reputation – but viewers were left unsure exactly what to make of her carry on.

Fans watched on as the former TOWIE star turned up to a photo-shoot four hours late, before another segment saw her kicking off at her agent when he failed to answer the phone to her at 6am.

Elsewhere, we saw her abruptly throwing a camera crew out of her shop claiming she was too busy to film her own reality show, while another moment featured Gemma questioning why she was having to get her own tea.

Who's getting the tea in, then? Because #TheGC ain't, that's for sure ☕ #DivaForever pic.twitter.com/kRjO6O4NiK

As reactions poured in online, there were those who were left astounded at quite how rude Gemma was being...

How Gemma Collins gets away with talking to people the way she does it beyond me 😨 #rude

I can’t not watch this Gemma Collins programme, I do think she’s funny (at times) but fuck me, she is SO rude

#DivaForever what an awful individual Gemma Collins is. Rude and arrogant with a loud mouth. She thinks she shouldn’t open doors or make her own tea. Who tf does she think she is. Sadly fame has gone to her head. We live in very sad times

Honestly who TF does #GemmaCollins think she is ?!? And why TF are people allowing her to speak to them like it?! Naaaaaa mate

The ego of Gemma Collins is just ridiculous. She is one flash, rude; arrogant woman.

— Dave Metcalf (@chunkydave37) August 7, 2019

No. Standard behaviour from her on #Towie, #CBBUK, #lmACeleb, #DancingOnIce etc. Seen it before so it bores me. Its not my idea of entertainment. #GemmaCollins #DivaForever

— Yes, l did tweet this: (@hooray_k) August 7, 2019

I mean I like her but WHO THE FUCK DOES GEMMA COLLINS THINK SHE IS 😱😱 #DivaForever

— Alice⚘ (@AliceDelamaine) August 7, 2019

I wanted to like it. I thought it’d be easy entertainment and harmless fun but Gemma came across as arrogant, unprofessional and quite mean. Using people [Laurence] isn’t something to feel good about. It’s a ‘no’ from me.

Think Gemma Collins's fans seem to forget the way Gemma Collins speaks to people, very rude etc.

Others questioned whether the show was actually a parody and she was simply playing up to the cameras...

Is #DivaForever a parody or is Gemma Collins really like this?

— Tim (@tim_carlisle) August 7, 2019

Gemma Collins in #DivaForever seems like a parody of David Brent...

— Natalie Loftus (@natalieloftus) August 7, 2019

Is this Gemma Collins show a parody, is she the greatest comedian in Britain??? #gemmacollins 😭😭😭

— Danny Grimshaw (@Grimstraw) August 7, 2019

Watching #GemmaCollins Diva Forever and she reminds me so much of David Brent. This is amazing 🤣 #DivaForever pic.twitter.com/x1NDdZqBuP

Is GC actually real?? Or is she a parody of a complete dick.

— Harvey (@leharve80) August 7, 2019

What is this #DivaForever thing 😂😂😂 Is Gemma Collins for real? This is a wind up right? Yeah.... definitely a wind up.....

— Jam Williams-Thomas (@JamAntonioITV) August 8, 2019

Is this Gemma Collins thing for real???? Surely not!

Gemma Collins: Diva Forever has made me incandescent with rage within 5 minutes. It has to be an act....surely!

— Jen Caldwell (@Jennifer_cald) August 7, 2019

People were not impressed at the way Gemma and boyfriend James “Arg” Argent treated one another either...

- Gemma and Arg are as bad as each other .. #DivaForever

— Kelly-Ann Clark (@KellyannBabes) August 8, 2019

Gemma and Arg it’s pretty toxic. Hopefully she’ll realise she deserves better. If he got his life together he’d leave her. She puts up with things other won’t. Doesn’t do him or her any good tho. #DivaForever

— JAMiE WALKER™️ (@JLW1006) August 8, 2019

The way Arg speaks to her is vile imo. I love Gemma cause I think she’s funny. Doesn’t mean I agree with everything she says.

— Ellie (@TheQueenElliex) August 7, 2019

But, of course, there were those who unashamedly enjoyed every moment of her acting like a complete diva...

gemma collins telling the paparazzi which angle to take photos from is the level i wanna be on

— jade (@amyhickmans) August 7, 2019

Can’t cope. Watched this seven times now. The best TV show titles ever. So extra. #DivaForever #GemmaCollins @missgemcollins pic.twitter.com/14LW4XoBzs

Gemma Collins new show was everything I wanted it to be and more

— dan (@daviesxdan) August 7, 2019

Gemma Collins: Diva Forever is honestly the greatest show to ever have been commissioned for television and I’ll have nothing said otherwise.

— Michael King (@MiichaelKing) August 7, 2019

But whatever your opinion of Gemma’s behaviour, somehow we don’t think she’ll be changing any time soon.

Gemma Collins: Diva Forever continues next Wednesday at 9pm on ITVBe.
