BIG Brother fans have been left convinced that housemate Elsa Rae is ‘faking a showmance’ in order to make her TikTok star ex jealous.
Influencer Elsa Rae, 21, rose to fame thanks to her controversial romance with internet personality Ed Matthews.
After splitting following their on-off romance, Elsa has ditched Ed in favour of the Big Brother house.
And it hasn’t taken long for the 21-year-old content creator to set her sights on a replacement for her very outspoken ex.
Just days into living in the famous house, viewers have spotted a budding connection between Elsa and hunky 22-year-old Marcus.
Marcus is a mechanical engineer and has already appeared to have taken a shine to the model who boasts over 500,000 followers online.
In scenes aired during the latest episode, fans saw Elsa getting Marcus to help her out with applying fake tan on her back as she giggled with him in the bathroom.
In another scene aired on Late and Live, Marcus can be seen hugging Elsa from behind as they shared a joke with each other in front of their fellow housemates.
They were quick to call out the pair for a “romance” but fans think Elsa could have an ulterior motive.
Being sceptical, they have cast doubt on Elsa’s intentions and have suggested she is faking a romance with Marcus purely to make streamer Ed jealous.
Writing on X, one viewer said: “Elsa trying to make Ed Mathew jealous.”
Another added: “If that’s a hint of a Marcus / Elsa showmance then they can f*** off…..”
A third penned: “Marcus and Elsa showmance omg Ed Matthews is raging somewhere.”
Elsa dated Ed on and off for three years with their romance documented in detail online.
It catapulted them into viral stardom with their tension and arguments often featuring in their livestreams with each other.
Ed Matthews is a social media star who primarily posts videos on TikTok and YouTube.
He is well known for his collaborations with other content creators such as Hstikkytokky, and his feuds with Simple Simon and Astrid Wett.
