During Thursday's episode, Lawrence accused Ellie Diamond of trying to set her up by placing her behind her comedy rival Bimini in a stand-up challenge.
Norwisch drag Bimini Bon Boulash defended Lawrence on Twitter and wrote: "This is a @shadylawrence stan account and you all need to realise it isn't that deep. It's a television show. If you support me please don't tear others down!"
