Gemma Collins has rallied her fans into petitioning for her to replace Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show - which has been at the centre of controversy in recent months.
Ellen, 62, was slammed by accusations from staff that she has enabled a "toxic culture" behind the scenes.
The accusations have forced WarnerMedia to launch an investigation at The Ellen Show, as rumours continue to swirl about whether or not she will be replaced when the show returns next month.
And it seems as though The GC is keen to be the one to do the deed.
In a now-deleted post, Gemma shared a petition on Instagram for fans to sign, which calls for Gem to take over from Ellen on the show.
Gem's fans went as far as kickstarting the petition themselves on Change.org as well as calling for ITV to be the outlet that gives them what they want.
The petition already has 367 votes and counting.
The countless allegations of Ellen enabling a "toxic" workplace environment have led to her issuing an apology to all staff for how they have been treated with a promise for a better way forward.
Ellen has found herself engulfed in accusations of bullying behaviour by employees, past guests, and fellow celebs – with many insisting her mean nature is common knowledge among the Hollywood elite.
Earlier this week, Ellen's wife Portia de Rossi showed public support for her wife on Instagram.
Portia - who's been married to Ellen since 2008 - captioned her post: "To all our fans....we see you. Thank you for your support."
Meanwhile, a number of celebs have spoken out in support of Ellen, including Katy Perry, Kevin Hart, Alec Baldwin, Diane Keaton and polo player Nacho Figueras.
