A potential rift is brewing within the Celebrity Big Brother house as viewers have noticed a clear tension between Ella Rae Wise and JoJo Siwa, seemingly fueled by their shared interest in Chris Hughes.
The initial signs of discord emerged after the housemates learned they had failed yesterday’s shopping task. The challenge involved dressing up as pirates and completing various assignments throughout the day, some requiring sustained effort. Hughes expressed frustration that their efforts were deemed unsuccessful, lamenting what he perceived as wasted time.
Wise responded to Hughes’ complaints with a dismissive remark, telling Donna Preston, “It is what it is, ain’t it? Get over it. We aren’t going to starve; we’ve got food.”
Following the task failure, the house received an economy budget, and Siwa attempted to take charge of its management. This further agitated Wise, who later commented to Trisha Goddard, “I’m not being funny but does JoJo do her own shopping at home?” She also questioned Patsy Palmer’s involvement, stating, “Patsy probably should have done it but it is what it is; I don’t care.”
The dynamic shifted again when Siwa offered Hughes a massage in the garden. Wise confided in Angelica Bell, expressing her reservations about Siwa: “This is going to sound so bad, JoJo’s a lovely girl, but not a bit of me. Too energetic for me. I don’t feel like there’s an off switch.” She continued, “Be who you actually are; you aren’t like that at home all the time. Tell me if I am wrong for being a b***h? My mum would tell me to calm the f**k down.”
Wise also voiced her frustration with Hughes, saying, “The more I’m around him, the more he is getting on my nerves. They are secluding themselves. Don’t forget about us because we are still here… You don’t get a lot out of him when you do talk to him though… maybe he doesn’t like me. I don’t give a s**t anyway.”
During the nominations process, Wise voted for Hughes, alleging that he wasn’t being genuine and was isolating himself with Siwa. Siwa, in turn, nominated Wise, citing their conversations as feeling forced and referencing an overheard conversation with Bell, which she described as “b****y.”
Social media users quickly picked up on the pattern of complaints about Siwa and Hughes, with many criticizing Wise’s behavior. Here’s a snapshot of what viewers are saying:
- “Omg Ella is not even hiding her jealousy towards Chris and JoJo. I have second-hand embarrassment.”
- “JoJo isn’t E lla’s cup of tea because she’s jealous that J oJo gets to spoon with C hris , that’s all,”
- “E LLA VS JOJO STARTS NOW.”
- “Just because Chris is very close to Jojo doesn’t mean you have to hate her this is so unfair for her.”
- “Ella, MISS GIRL. Just admit you fancy him and call it a day,”
- “ Ella you reek of jealousy, please calm down.”
Adding another layer to the situation, Wise recently ended her relationship with fellow reality TV star Dan Edgar, leading some to speculate that she may be hoping to pursue a connection with Hughes within the house.
