Celebrity Big Brother fans were left fuming by ‘annoying’ Chesney Hawkes as the iconic reality show returned to ITV2 on Monday evening.
The 90s singer, 53, entered the star-studded house alongside the likes of Trisha Goddard, 67, Patsy Palmer, 52, and Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, 72.
However TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise, 24, was the one that seemingly rubbed Chesney up the wrong way as he continually shushed her ‘like a school teacher’.
As the celebs all gathered and got to know each other, The One and Only put his finger to his lips as he encouraged Ella to be quiet.
Taking to X fans fumed: ‘Not Chesney shushing her’: ‘Chesney Shhing that girl, goes he think he’s her teacher?’: ‘Chesney shushing her… are you a school teacher or what’: Did Chesney just shush everyone?! Hate him already’.
‘Chesney stop shushing everyone like a teacher’: ‘CHESNEY STOP SHUSHING PEOPLE I SWEAR’: ‘Chesney keeps telling people to shush with his finger to his lips, like they’re children at school. think that’ll pee people off’.
