Celebrity Big Brother fans are fuming over Ella Mae Wise’s behaviour towards JoJo Siwa after the TOWIE star appeared to be trying to flirt with the US star after previously bad mouthing her behind her back on the ITV show. Taking to X after the two stars appeared to be bonding fans raged. “@bbuk Ella is annoying me now. She’s so lovely to JoJo’s face, even a bit flirty lol, but behind JoJo’s back she’s saying her and Chris are fake and badmouthing them at every opportunity. I don’t like that falseness at all. #CBBUK #CBB,” one wrote.
“I really want to go into the house to just tell JoJo to stop being friendly with Ella. How is Ella gonna go from insulting JoJo to having girly chats, saying she wished JoJo was her girlfriend and hugging her… Makes me sick. Such a game player. #CBB #CBBUK,” another seethed. A third questioned: “Why is Ella trying to be all nice to Jojo almost like game playing #CBBUK.” A fourth opined:”Ella has seen that flirting with JoJo has worked for Chris and now she’s having a go. Such an obvious attempt to grab screen time. #CBBUK.”
A fifth speculated: “I feel like the real reason Ella hates Chris is because she had the plan of going in the house and becoming JoJo’s best friend, cause she has mentioned JoJo followers a few times. She wants that fanbase! #CBB #CBBUK.”
A sixth commented: “Nah Ella having these nice chats with JoJo after constantly slagging her off – especially with the popcorn and the ‘even better cos it’s hers’ two faced #cbb #CBBUK #bigbrother.”
The reactions came after Ella cheekily asked the Dance Moms alum “do you want to be my girlfriend?” after she confessed she had scheduled a video for her partner for each day she is in the house.
“Sorry, I’m taken,” JoJo responded as Ella said: “Okay, sorry.”
“It’s so hard, because I feel like I’m so proud. I love having a partner, but like, I wish nobody knew,” JoJo confided in Ella.
“Like, I wish I was better at keeping it private, because I separate my life into two people – JoJo and Joelle (her real name).
“And typically, when I date somebody, they start to really get to know Joelle. But they’re both always present at all times, right?
“Now I’m Joelle, but JoJo still here, you know what I mean, and…Joelle runs Jojo,” she said.
