CELEBRITY Big Brother fans are convinced one housemate is playing up to the cameras after spotting them “fake crying”.
Last night Ella Rae Wise broke down in tears after it was revealed that Patsy Palmer and Daley Thompson was nominated for eviction.
Towie star Ella, 24, was seen sobbing as the names were announced.
An upset Ella told her housemates: “It’s not about me, I’m not crying because of me, I’m crying because I feel for them.”
But some fans have said that Ella is quick to turn on the waterworks in a bid to secure more “airtime”.
Some viewers have claimed this is part of her “gameplan” after crying on a number of occasions.
One spotted this clue and wrote: “Ella crying while looking at the cameras,” with a laughing emoji.
A second posted: “Ella crying for screen time lol.”
A third asked: “Does Ella go a day without crying?”
“Angellica and Ella trying to steal Patsy and Daley’s moment, they weren’t even up for eviction, it wasn’t about them,” a fourth said.
Later in the episode Ella and Patsy had a major clash.
Things took an awkward turn when the Ella exposed some cheeky DMs from a married celeb – and Patsy didn’t hold back with her fiery response.
Spearheaded by Danny Beard, the Drag Race star asked his fellow housemates: “Should we do some like, never have I ever hooked up with a really famous person.”
Reality beauty Ella quickly replied: “Yes, that’s a good one.”
When none of the housemates raised their hands Danny questioned: “No?”
Ella then chimed: “Or never have I ever had a really famous person in my DM’s. Oh, I have, mine’s a naughty one cause he’s got a wife.”
Speaking quietly to Chesney Patsy fired back: “No, you better not share that. Don’t share things about people with wives.”
“I hate that kind of thing. It brings it low. Like we’re not scum of the earth.”
Having overheard the soap star Ella protested: “Why is everyone so serious today?”
She continued: “Pats made me feel really bad about saying that. But I didn’t reply to the DM. I didn’t reply to the DM.”
Patsy then replied: “I think it’s sometimes good to flag up ‘cause everyone gets carried away.
But you do have to be protective of yourself ‘cause you might regret it in the morning. You know how things can go and it’s not nice.”
Ella quickly clarified her comment, saying: “Oh no, this was obviously before he was married. He’s married now…”
The Towie star has been in a rough spot since entering Big Brother house after dumping partner Dan Edgar after 2 years together.
Now, Dan has furiously vowed never to take his ex Ella back.
Fans were convinced Ella broke it off with Dan for a showmance with Love Island‘s Chris Hughes in the house, but the pair have clashed.
Towie bosses have since been hopeful of a reconciliation on the next Towie series – but Dan is having none of it.
Our source said: “Dan is absolutely fuming about how he was played by Ella.
“He feels used that she dumped him straight before going on Celebrity Big Brother in hopes of a showmance.
“Even though it’s backfired on her, it doesn’t make things easier. Ella embarrassed him in a bid to gain popularity and more followers.
“The cast have heard there’s been talk about producers asking Dan to get back with Ella on-screen when she gets out of the house, but he’s not having it.
“She’s made her bed, now she needs to lie in it.”
