Celebrity Big Brother fans work out real reason behind Ella’s feud with JoJo as jealousy over Chris escalates
CELEBRITY Big Brother’s feud between Ella Rae Wise and JoJo Siwa has escalated – and fans think they know why.
Ella was seen moaning about JoJo again in the latest episode of CBB and complaining about how much time the US star is spending with Chris Hughes.
The Towie star even asked Angellica Bell is she was a “b**ch” for accusing JoJo of being ‘fake’.
She said: “This is going to sound so bad, but I’m honest so I’ll just say it. JoJo, lovely girl. Not my cup of tea.
“I just don’t feel like there’s an off switch for being who you actually are, because you’re not actually like that all the time. I’m sorry, you’re not.”
Ella continued: “Chris… I think… The more I’m around him, the more he’s getting on my nerves. They’re so secluded.
“Listen, each to their own. If you feel like you’ve got more of a connection on that side, that’s absolutely fine but don’t forget about us, cos we are still here.”
Days before Ella entered the CBB house, it was revealed she had split with her boyfriend Dan Edgar, who is also her Towie cast mate.
There was widespread speculation that she would make a beeline for single Chris, who found fame on Love Island, for a “showmance”.
And despite JoJo being opening gay, CBB fans are certain Ella is “jealous” by the amount of time she is spending with Chris.
In fact, viewers even believe the reality star has muddled her telly shows and fear she thinks she’s on Love Island or The Only Way Is Essex.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “It’s Big Brother not Love Island Ella!!! #cbb.”
Another added: “Does Ella think she’s on Love Island and she’s annoyed Chris hasn’t pulled her for a chat #CBBUK.”
And a third wrote: “Just wait till Ella finds out she isn’t on Love Island or TOWIE. God she’s annoying as hell, her jealousy towards Chris and JoJo is weird and her constant ‘do you know what I mean’ p****s me off #CBBUK.”
Ella found fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2019. She has also appeared on Celebrity Ex on the Beach and The Challenge UK.
The Sun revealed on the weekend that Ella dumped boyfriend Dan in a bid to have a “fake showmace” in Celebrity Big Brother.
A source told us she wanted to be part of a “CBB love story” in order to “boost her chances of staying longer” on the ITV fly-on-the-wall show.
A source told The Sun: “Ella had already been telling pals over the past few weeks that she didn’t see a long-term future for Dan.
“It was clear their relationship was nearing the end and with Ella having managed to land CBB, she knew she wanted to give producers what they were after.”
However, fans are convinced Ella has now realised her “game plan” has backfired.
