Gemma Collins confessed it had always been her dream to be slapped by Dame Joan Collins, as her wish came true in a diva showdown on Joe Lycett's TV show.

The 89-year-old actor and the 42-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star were both guests on Channel 4's Late Night Lycett and took part in a Dynasty cat fight spoof sketch after the comedian provided them with a script.

Gemma said: "Shall I do it proper Essex? 'Step aside, Dame Joan! There's a new Collins in town!'"

Dame Joan replied: "I'm the original OG," before Gemma retorted: "You are, honey. I'll give you that but move over b***h because I'm here."

The Dynasty star then lifted her hand and gestured a slap towards the reality star's face, in time with a sound effect.

"Always wanted to be in Dynasty when I was young and I got to meet Joan herself it’s a total moment in my life which is unreal to then be next to her.

Dame Joan added on social media: "Great fun and #lorralaughs with @joelycett last night on #joelycettlive with @joeldommett @munroebergdorf and @gemmacollins"

Dame Joan famously starred as villainous Alexis Colby in American soap Dynasty between 1981 and 1989, as well as 1979 film The B***h.
