Gemma Collins is a reality TV legend and ‘memay’ sensation.

And one fan was so keen to immortalise one of her most iconic moments that they had it tattooed on their arm.

Superfan Billy was branded a “fool” by viewers after he revealed an inking of Collins’ crying face on E4’s Tattoo Fixers.

The tattoo is of Collins wiping a tear from her eye from the moment she suffered an epic meltdown on Celebrity Big Brother after lamenting her lack of a boyfriend.

The inking is accompanied by her famous quote: “It’s going to be a long slog this life for me.”

The unusual inking is Billy’s second tribute to the former TOWIE star, having previously immortalised another famous scene from CBB which saw her running for the fire exit after claiming to have spotted a ghost.

The tattoo reads: “Get that fire exit door, I’m off.”

Viewers were less than impressed with one posting: “This fool on #TattooFixers wants a Gemma Collins tattoo...”

Another wrote: “What #Idiot would want to get portrait of Gemma Collins tattooed on them? Oh yea Billy does. #TattooFixers.”

A third posted: “Amazing tattoo but still it’s of Gemma Collins LOL! #TattooFixers.”

It comes days after New Zealand singer Kelsy Karter debuted what appeared to be a tattoo of Harry Styles on her face.

The self-confessed Styles fanatic, posted a picture of Styles’ face on her cheek to Instagram alongside the caption: “Mama, look what I made me do.”

The inking was blasted “fake” and branded a “publicity stunt” online.
