Christine Lampard doesn't seem convinced that Gemma Collins has got what it takes when it comes to being a superstar singer.
As rumours swirl that The GC could be joining the line-up of Celebrity X Factor , it's been said that she could be the 'next Beyonce '.
However during a showbiz chat on the Lorraine show this morning, the mere mention of Bey and Gem in the same breath had Christine in fits of giggles.
Gemma has got a great set of pipes on her, but when the suggestion that the TOWIE start could be as big as the iconic singer was mentioned the stand-in chat show host was in disbelief.

He explained that Simon had £3million to spend on getting talent secured for the show and mentioned that Gemma was apparently on the list.
"You know she could be the next Beyonce," Dan said.
Taken aback, Christine spluttered: "Did you just say the new Beyonce?
"I look forward to seeing that happen," she added with a snort.
