Sure, Gemma Collins nearly took a backwards tumble during her Dancing on Ice debut last weekend, but she styled it out just like Beyoncé would, and, as close friend Jonathan Cheban has pointed out, she wore an iconic outfit and performed the splits on the ice.
For some reason that wasn't enough to convince the judging panel, with The GC receiving only 2.5 from Jason Gardiner for her routine with Matt Evers, and she placed just above Didi Conn and Mark Little.
In response, Cheban – who was in the audience to support Gemma – has branded the judges "assholes" for not considering the whole GC package.
"I only think Gemma could win because of the popular vote, because the judges are assholes," the former Celebrity Big Brother star told Digital Spy.
That's harsher than the time The JC was bitchslapped by Kourtney Kardashian...
"They don't take into consideration the whole package. Someone giving her 2.5 in that outfit and doing the splits? I think it's insane they didn't give her credit for that.

"She can't move like a ballerina. She's never going to win with the numbers, but they have to take into consideration she is an entertainer, not an ice skater."
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star said he would consider taking part on the ITV show – although he hasn't been asked yet (and may have to personally apologise to Jason now).
"The only way I would do it would be if I could practise in the US, and then go there and do the show, which could work," he continued. "They haven't approached me yet."
And he'd definitely be up for his own reality TV show with Gemma (after hitting it off on CBB in 2016), which could be based between the UK and the US, as both grapple with culture clashes and inevitable hijinks.
"We're so different but we get along like two peas in a pod so that would be the best show on TV," Cheban pitched.
"Because the humour would be pure entertainment. We'll do a show, something online together. A YouTube show because people need to see it. I think the first show would be in the UK. I really feel like it could be a series. I'm a fish out of water in the UK so Gemma is showing me the ropes."
We'd tune in.
Cheban has been in the UK to promote his brand Foodgod.
Dancing on Ice airs Sunday nights on ITV.
