Gemma Collins previously hinted she’d be seeking legal advice after plunging through a trapdoor on the stage at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in October.
But according to a new totally unconfirmed report, the TOWIE star won’t pursue legal action against the Beeb if they give her something she really, really wants in exchange.
What, you ask?
Well, apparently Gem, 36, is eager for a place on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.

A source told The Sun: “She has said to BBC that she will not pursue legal action if they give her a slot on the show. She loves Strictly and has always wanted to have a crack at it.
“She thinks this might be her chance to get on the show.”
Hmm… really?
So far there’s no word from Gemma on whether this is true or not – and no word from the BBC either, so we’ll file this under the ‘we’re rather skeptical of this’ folder…
The corporation previously issued a statement about Gemma’s fall saying the production company behind the awards show had warned her about the trapdoor before she took to the stage.
It read: “The BBC takes the health and safety of everyone involved very seriously and we are awaiting a full report from Remedy – the production company who made the show – about the incident, but they have told us that Gemma did receive a full briefing before going on stage.”
Gemma, however, has insisted she wasn’t briefed about the trapdoor, which opened up to allow winners to come onto the stage from the audience.
She had been at Wembley event to present an award to the Love Island cast, when she twirled on stage and fell straight down an open trapdoor in the centre of the stage.
The Essex star landed on top of the Love Island stars, who had been coming up through the trapdoor to get their award.
Speaking to The Sun afterwards, she said: “I’ve got to consult a lawyer, yeah. The BBC, they’ve not been in touch with any compensation or anything — or even an apology.
“It’s very important this gets sorted out because, really, you know what it is — it’s negligence.
“Do you know what I find shocking? The BBC hasn’t sent any flowers. Nothing.”
In a separate interview with This Morning, she said: “It could have been fatal but it wasn’t so do you know what? You’ve just got to dust yourself off.
“Yes, I’m in a bit of pain but it was the best moment of my life to stand on stage at Wembley Stadium but I just wish I hadn’t got so excited and spun round to give them the award and fell in the hole.
“My mum was crying her eyes out. I was like, ‘Mum I’m okay!’ and she was like, ‘Gemma, this could have been fatal, you could have died’.”
Despite the incident, Gemma still managed to joke that her bottom was like an “air bag” that had protected her fall.
“It was my left side that hit as I went down. I’ve got a bit of a booty and thank God for that because it has protected me. I have a bruised left bum cheek but apart from that I’m rocking and rolling.”
She apologised to the Love Island stars, saying: “I wiped them out and they had to go see paramedics after.
“They were screaming ‘Get her up! Her legs are gonna be crushed!’ because the platform underneath was raising up and my legs were dangling over the end of it so thank you to the two Love Island guys.
“But you know what, I lived to tell the tale, I got back up on stage, gave the award and went on to present with Grimmy and Rita.”

Gemma took to Instagram after the incident, telling fans: “So Wembley Stadium people screaming my name and it was just OMG the best and worst moment of my LIFE.
“I’ve always compared myself to Bridget Jones now this confirms it everyone! Madonna stacks it, I stack it. Guys I am okay, and the show must go on. It’s gone VIRAL.”
