Ferne McCann's fiancé Lorri Haines 'didn't seem very close' to her mother at the Dancing On Ice recording on Sunday, according to The Sun.
The TOWIE legend, 34, took to the rink for the first time during the launch episode of the ITV1 skating show but an audience member has now alleged that Lorri and Gilly 'barely spoke' to each other on the night.
The audience member told The Sun: 'They didn't seem very close at all. They both spoke to Sunday but barely exchanged a word to each other.
'It was very bizarre, and it was clear there was some tension in the air.'
Ferne is mother to Sunday, seven, with her ex-partner Arthur Collins and she and Lorri have Finty, 18 months, together.
Her eldest was seated between Lorri and Gilly as the TV star skated her way around the rink with professional partner Brendyn Hatfield.

They even alluded to the 'struggles' between Ferne and her significant other lately, and suggested that was why there seemed to be a frosty atmosphere.
They added: 'It's no secret Ferne and Lorri have had their struggles recently, so perhaps that's why things appeared strained.'
MailOnline has contacted Ferne's representatives for comment.
The reality star was the second star to take to the ice with her pro partner Brendyn Hatfield as they performed to Lily Allen's song, Somewhere Only We Know.
Ferne made it through without any trips or stumbles and the panel praised her debut, scoring her a respectable 26.5.
But as they spoke, host Stephen Mulhern noted that Ferne was emotional and fighting back tears.
She said: 'I feel really emotional, I've got tiny tears. I'm just so happy, I really enjoyed it.'

Ferne expressed her dismay at the 'out of the blue' split rumours as she revealed how the couple strive to make their romance work despite the difficulties of juggling their careers and blended family.
She told OK! magazine of the break-up speculation: 'My heart sank – I even had family members messaging me and asking what had happened.
'But we are good. We feel like we have to justify ourselves sometimes because, you know, every couple has their ups and downs.
'I think this is my first proper relationship and we are juggling so much with businesses and raising our children together; we're a blended family, with lots of different personalities. Don't get me wrong, we're not constantly upbeat and positive, but we're very much together and doing life together.'
