Moments after walking into the Celebrity Big Brother house, Trisha made a beeline for Chesney.
She then dropped a HUGE bombshell that they had a connection from their childhoods.
After saying hello, Trisha said to the The One and Only singer: “You know what, I’m glad to meet you.”
“Did you go to St Ann’s Primary School?” she inquired, to which a surprised Chesney responded: “I did! You are joking.”
Continuing, the chat show queen said: “Then I went to Sir William Perkins. My dad worked at Holloway Sanitorium, and I used to work in that pub.”
“The Rose and Crown? I live right near there. I moved back there,” Chesney replied.
Shortly after, EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer entered the house, and Trisha had a connection with her too, as they had spent time together in West Hollywood.
Fans went wild for these celebrity revelations, with one saying: “Trisha knows everyone… went to same school as Chesney and partied with Patsy in West Hollywood.”
Another added: “Love that Trisha and Chesney went to the same school!”
TRISHA’S BATTLE
Meanwhile, last night Celebrity Big Brother fans were moved to tears when Trisha shared the special reason she signed up for the show.
The chat show legend revealed last year she had been given a terminal diagnosis after her breast cancer returned.
But viewers were touched by Trisha’s positive attitude when she confessed she’s doing Big Brother to inspire others also living with the disease.
She said: “It’s my new normal.
“I’m going into the Big Brother house to show you can’t be so scared of dying that you become frightened of living.”

Fans immediately took to social media, with one writing: “It’s so brave of her to go in given her prognosis and to share that with the nation.”
Another said: “Wow what a brave woman Trisha is. Hats off to her.”
And a third added: “All love to Trisha Goddard.
“Literally losing her life and taking all opportunities coming to her to live her life and have all the experiences she can.”
Trisha is best known for her self-titled morning talk show, which ran from 1998 to 2010.
