ITV CBB viewers rush to defend housemate as evicted Daley Thompson’s blistering accusations resurface: ‘Jealous!’
Celebrity Big Brother’s latest eviction saw former Olympian Daley Thompson leaving the house, but he managed to ruffle some feathers with a word of warning just before leaving.
The 66-year-old was up for eviction alongside EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, and knowing he could be leaving the iconic house soon, he issued some “advice” to Ella Rae Wise on Friday, which came up again during Sunday’s instalment.
Thompson seemed to be taking a not-so-subtle dig at Chris Hughes, 32, and JoJo Siwa’s, 21, close friendship as he told Wise, 24: “I have got no advice for you… Except, I know it’s difficult if you are struggling to be heard, put your hand up.
“Because there’s some people that are really loud and there’s some people that do this professionally as a game.”
He continued: “There’s two people in here that do it all of the time. I think on the cameras, people will be interested in their relationship.”
In last night’s episode, Danny Beard, 32, heard about the warning when Wise decided to tell him and Donna Preston, 38, about Thompson’s parting words.
“Daley just basically said that you’ve got to be careful. There are two reality stars in here that do reality every single day,” she relayed.
“He said they know what they’re doing, if they pair up, they’re going to take a lot of air time from people. And it’s going to be very fixated on them both. And just to be mindful.”

Later, Beard, told Hughes and Siwa about the remark, with former Love Island star Hughes calmly responding: “I’m fine with that.
“I know that mine and JoJo’s friendship is genuine. I’m fine with other people looking at it from that perspective.
“When you’ve been somewhere for two weeks, naturally you’re going to gravitate towards people. That’s just life.”
However, Wise quickly added: “What we’ve got to take into consideration is that there’s people in here that have caring sides, and there’s people in here who wouldn’t want you to be used for your platform.”
As fans took to social media to discuss the episode, both Wise and Thompson were blasted over the accusations.
One penned: “Daley continuously saying ‘professional performers’ bore off #CBB.”
“Chris was exactly the same in love island! He’s just a laugh, he’s got his own platform and has done well with itv racing, I don’t get the hate #CBB,” another argued.
Someone else echoed this, adding: “Chris is just being himself, if you watched his season of Love Island then you’ll know!! #CBB.”
Someone else asked: “[How] many reality shows has Ella been on compared to Chris? #CBB.”
“Ella’s HATE for Jojo becomes more and more apparent every day #CBB #CBBUK #CBBLL,” another wrote.
“Why is Ella so motivated to ruin Chris and Jojo’s relationship? It’s giving jealousy. She should be called “jeal-la” #CBB #CBBUK #CBBLL,” someone else commented.
However, others agreed Hughes and Siwa were getting far more air time, with one posting: “Am I the only one who can’t be bothered #jojo and #chris in #CBB they get on every single one of my nerves. just not my cup of tea.
“Who ever does the editing needs to show other house mates as it’s just boring.”
Another agreed: “Loved Daley!! True words from him to Ella!! He clearly cared for Ella! Speaking up for what is clearly going on with Chris and Jojo!” (sic)
