Celebrity Big Brother viewers branded Ella Rae Wise a ‘hypocrite’ as the TOWIE star slammed JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes for their reality TV pasts on Sunday.

Ella, 24, branded the pair ‘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. 

After watching JoJo, who is dating Kath Ebbs outside the house, and Chris continue to touch one another, viewers were left in frenzy over the pair’s ‘chemistry’.

One show penned: ‘Chris and JoJo’s chemistry in the H๏τ tub is on fire.’

‘Everyone’s cleared out of the H๏τ tub, and now Chris is giving JoJo a foot mᴀssage’.; ‘It’s just Chris and JoJo in the H๏τ tub now, he’s giving her a leg mᴀssage…’; ‘Ouhhh they went there omggg,’    

Her comments come after Daley Thompson, 66, 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’.

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.’

Donna the cheekily referred to Chris to help her out and as she quipped: ‘There you go. Pop a couple out, babe. Chris is available.’

JoJo then added that she could ‘show the kids’ the footage one day, and confessed that she would tell them: ‘Here’s how we decided who the father was.’
