‘They take advantage of your vulnerability’: Ex On The Beach star Jemma Lucy claims bosses told her she’d be sent home if she didn’t have sex on the show
Jemma Lucy has claimed Ex On The Beach bosses told her she’d be sent home if she didn’t have sex on TV.
The reality star, 35, opened up about regretting her actions on the show during an appearance on James English’s Anything Goes podcast.
Jemma, who took part in MTV’s Ex on the Beach in 2015 and 2016, slept with Geordie Shore‘s Gaz Beadle on the very first night on the show.
But Jemma claims she was ‘manipulated’ into it: ‘They take advantage of your vulnerability.
‘They make you do stuff. Without literally forcing you physically, with words they’ll manipulate you and I regret everything I did on those shows.’

Jemma, real name Jemma Henley, added: ‘I hate them, I just look like a t***. It’s how I got to where I am now so I can’t really slate it too much.
‘There were times when they would drag me off set by my clothes and be like ‘if you wanna make it, if you wanna be famous you need to start doing stuff or you’re going home tomorrow. Go and get in that room and sleep with him…’
‘They did it to me so many times and I listened to them because I wanted it so much.’
MailOnline has contacted MTV for comment.
Jemma gained herself a bad girl reputation during her stints on the MTV dating show after she became involved in furious rows with co-stars.
During her first apperance in 2015’s third season, she enjoyed dalliances with Kirk Norcross before returning in series five in 2016.
But the inked-up beauty made an explosive exit when she was dropped from the show for her ‘unreasonable behaviour’.
She and shamed Stephen Bear dated for two months in 2016 before his relationship with Charlotte Crosby.
Following her appearances on Ex on the Beach, Jemma took part in the 2017 series of Celebrity Big Brother and came sixth.
And in 2019 she gave birth to a daughter but has never revealed the child’s name or the identity of her father.

In the announcement post she wrote: ‘My angel is here never felt love like this before born 25.5.19 my world’.
Back in December 2018, Jemma stunned fans when she announced she is pregnant, and the controversial star admitted she debated not going through with having her first child yet decided to ‘do the right thing’.
In her initial pregnancy announcement, she vowed to never reveal the father’s identity after a secret two-year romance yet has now divulged details of their ‘toxic’ relationship which included a kidnap attempt and bids to abort her child.
The formerly hard-partying star confessed she had been struggling with the side effects of her pregnancy while also admitting she is aware doubts will be rife, but she remains defiant in her abilities to care for the child.
