Celebrity Big Brother’s Chris Hughes has backed claims Ella Rae Wise is ‘jealous’ of JoJo Siwa during the show’s latest chaotic shopping task on Sunday.

TOWIE star Ella, 24, has seemingly had her nose put out of joint amid her rivals incredibly close friendship blossoming in the house with tensions slowly boiling.

In the task, which saw the housemates become a family, Chris, 32, took a swipe at Ella with fans branding her ‘two faced’ as she chose JoJo as her least favourite housemate and the biggest game player. 

Taking to the diary room, the furious former Love Island star was quick to stick up for his new friend as he accused Ella of being ‘jealous’ of his and JoJo’s ‘matching energies’.

He said: ‘She isn’t sweet on JoJo so there might be a jealously thing there I don’t know, she likes to have her two pence worth and if she’s out of a conversation she wants to be in it.’

Chris also took a swipe at Ella earlier in the task when he told her to ‘use her brain’ while they tried to memorise a dance as toddlers in Big Brother’s nursery.

Later fans claimed Ella was showing her true colours as she chose JoJo as her least favourite housemate, leaving the Dance Moms star stunned as she believed the pair to be friends. 

Taking to X they fumed: ‘JoJo finally seeing that Ella is two faced!!!’: ‘Ella is so two faced bc why she sucking up to jojo but talks s*** about her behind her back’: 

‘Ella is a two faced person!! Yesterday she said she doesn’t get on with Jojo tonight she’s laughing and talking with her’: 

‘ella is definitely a mean girl and tries to get ppl to gang up on any girl she’s jealous of for w/e reason it may be’.

‘Chris isn’t wrong – Ella is definitely jealous and definitely not a JoJo fan’: ‘& the public can read that you are JEALOUS Ella’: ‘yeh the public can read that you’re jealous and weirdly obsessed Ella’.

Earlier in the episode, viewers branded Ella a ‘hypocrite’ she slammed JoJo and Chris for their reality TV pasts

Ella said the pair were ‘professional reality stars and social climbers’ who were ‘playing a game’ despite her own career in the field, which has also featured stints on Celebrity Ex on the Beach and The Challenge UK.

Daley Thompson, 66, also dubbed Chris and JoJo’s incredibly close friendship as ‘performative’, ahead of his eviction, and said they were both reality stars who did ‘reality every single day’.

Commenting on his remarks, Ella told Donna Preston: ‘He said “They know what their doing, they know they are doing, they know if they pair up they will get more airtime”.’

Taking a swipe at Chris, Ella then said: ‘I just feel, and this is my personal opinion, that there are social climbers in this industry and I think he would benefit a hell of a lot.’

However, many viewers took issue with her remarks as they pointed out that she is also known for reality TV.

Taking to X, fans fumed: ‘Is Ella forgetting she is also from a reality show and hasn’t done anything else apart from that?’: ‘Find it ironic that Ella is saying about people being reality stars, when she is literally from TOWIE and would benefit the most from social climbing’: ‘Isn’t Ella Literally in TOWIE? a reality TV show??’. 

‘Isn’t Ella literally a reality TV star too?’: ‘Ella replaying Delay’s ‘There’s two reality every single day’ when she does reality every single day on TOWIE… the call is coming from inside the house’. 

Chris found fame on Love Island in 2017 and has gone on to appear Celebrity Hunted and Pointless Celebrities, meanwhile JoJo was catapulted to superstardom as a youngster on Dance Moms. 

Chris and JoJo have raised eyebrows with their close friendship and were seen stripping down to their bathing suits for a dip in the H๏τ tub during Saturday’s livestream.

During their time in the tub, the pair appeared to get even closer as JoJo touched Chris’s thigh before he later went on to give her a foot rub.

Chris has continued to make baffling comments to the performer as he also previously referred to her as his girlfriend in the house.

JoJo revealed to her fellow housemate, Donna Preston, that she wanted to have children to ‘take on holiday’.

Donna said: ‘You have to take these holidays, take these dreams, do what you want to do as well.’

To which JoJo replied: ‘I wanna have babies and take them on holiday.’
