When asked for her opinion on the matter, given her own history of celebrity impressions on Big Impression, Ronni expressed her support for Aimee.

She said: "Full disclaimer, I think she's amazing, I think she's unbelievably talented. Very funny and very talented and very beautiful actually. I do have an element of sympathy with her, I think if you watch the whole sketch , which I have."

Ronnie clarified for Jon and Sally how she envisioned what Victoria might say in private with .

Continuing, she explained: "You wouldn't be able to do that these days because of the advent of social media, everybody knows what everybody is going all the time! That's why parody and satire are much harder to pull off nowadays.

Although she acknowledged certain aspects of the sketch that she approached carefully, she steered clear of commenting on physical appearance.
