Gemma Collins impersonates Carole Baskin but gets her name totally wrong

Ditsy Gemma Collins tried to do her best Carole Baskin impression - but it all goes horribly wrong.

The GC, 39, called the Tiger King star 'Carole Biskin' after hilariously messing up as she stepped out in the sunshinre.

She threatened to throw her followers to the big cats as she twirled a bag around dressed in her safari style top and trousers.

Gemma looked the part - but didn't get the words right.

Carole is one of the world's most talked about women at the moment after madcap Joe Exotic accused her of throwing her husband to the tigers before trying to orchestrate her death during the surreal Netlix show.

"Guys it's the GC, here to entertain the nation," she began. "I'm obsessed with Carole Biskin - that b****h has got nothing on me!

"Just wanna remind y'all... if you p**s me off I'll feed you to the tigers!"

At least she recognised her less than purrr-fect mistake as she went to upload.

Plugging Sunday's latest episode of Diva In Lockdown, she invited the ridicule thanks to her cringe slip up.

She captioned the Instagram video: "Biskin or Baskin!!! What do you think FRANK - tonight 9pm @itvbe #divainlockdown "

The reality star is more than happy to be smiling after a difficult few days.

She is mourning the loss of her beloved cat Twinkle after she rescued the feline 22 years ago.

Gemma took to her Instagram Stories to share the sad news of Twinkle's passing, as says she now feels "absolutely heartbroken".

She wrote: "I rescued her 22 years ago, she passed last night.

"I'm absolutely heartbroken. I love you Twinkle."

Gemma shared a sweet snap of her tabby with Whitney Houston's hit song I Will Always Love You playing in the background.
