A lot of people have been divided over Gemma Collins this week - did she 'fake' her fall on Dancing On Ice, or did she genuinely fall like her skating partner Matt Evers believes? Either way, she's been the talk of the town (well, country) - and that has shone a light on one of her biggest fans.
The fan in question, named Billy, appeared on Tattoo Fixers Extreme, requesting a tattoo of - yep, you guessed it - the GC's face on his leg, accompanied by one of her quotes which reads, 'It's gonna be a long old slog for me this life.' sic.
But shockingly, this isn't even the first GC-inspired tattoo that Billy has had, as he also has another of her quotes across his ribs, which reads, 'Get that fire exit door, I’m off!' from her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house when she was convinced she'd seen a ghost.
Talking to the artists before he took to the chair, Billy revealed that he'd had a long-time love for her, saying, "I wanted to get a tattoo of a celebrity because I have a mild obsession with them, and I want to have an honour to them on my leg."

Billy went ahead with the inking, despite the fact that it could spell the end of his relationship, as he admitted his other half "wasn't having it" and that it could "potentially end the relationship."
Of course, Gemma herself caught wind of the situation, sharing a tweet about the story on her Instagram profile and writing, 'Next level fan love @billbo94 I saw this and had to make contact with you 👌👌👌 lots of love to you and thank you for the GC DEDICATION #gcfever #wow #fanlove❤️ I’m going to arrange to meet you in person and take you for lunch ❤️.' sic
