Matt Evers slams Twitter troll

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Evers has urged a Twitter troll to seek “professional help” after they slammed Gemma Collins.
The 42-year-old skater has jumped to the defence of his ‘Dancing on Ice’ partner after a social media user accused the ‘Only Way is Essex’ star of ruining the show with her “attention seeking” antics.
The viewer posted: “I’ve been an avid fan from series 1 and I honestly can’t stand this series due to her! All the judges are pathetic molly coddling the self centered attention seeker! Ruined a perfectly good show for me!”
Matt replied on his own Twitter account, writing: “Honestly, if our 1 minute and 30 sec performance ruins an entire 2 hour show…. you need professional help. The viewing figures don’t agree with any of the haters.(sic)”
And Matt also defended Gemma against accusations that she “can’t skate”, sharing a clip of her from the weekend’s show and highlighting the fact she successfully executed some inside three turns, a figure skating step that involves both a change of direction and change of edge and is found on the sixth level of Skate UK’s eight-level basic skills programme.
He captioned the clip: “Last time I checked… ‘ice skating’. These are actually called inside three 3 turns.
“Who ever says @missgemcollins ‘can’t skate’… she can.”
But when a critical user pointed out Gemma was “holding on” to her partner and not skating alone, Matt hit back once again.
He wrote: “Please do your research and watch week 1, 3 and 4… she does plenty of skating on her own. Believe me, I know. I choreographed her.”
Responding to another critic, he added: “I am hired to skate with them. WITH THEM. How often do @torvillanddean separate in a routine?
“How much of a ballroom dance are the dancers separated? Have you ever watched actual ice dancing? Google is amazing. Please educate yourself about the show before you hate. Thank you.”
