Despite previous years leaving the contestants guessing, Donna Preston made an appearance to confirm that the Celebrity Big Brother housemates actually know the time.

Celebrity Big Brother fans noticed a big flaw in the show tonight that was revealed during a quick exchange between Ella Rae Wise and Donna Preston. The English comedian popped her head into the bedroom and was concerned to see Ella already tucked up for the night while the rest of the housemates were enjoying themselves in the hot tub.

She approached the The Only Way Is Essex star to ask if she was okay, saying: “Babe, it’s ten to nine.” Ella responded: “That’s what I mean, so early. My social battery is at three percent, maybe five at a push.” This exchange baffled fans, but not because Ella was ready for a snooze before the clock even struck nine.

More alarmingly, viewers discovered that the actors appeared to be aware of the time. One sceptical fan questioned, “How did Donna know what the time was?” as a number of people flocked to X to express their opinions on the incident.

Another queried: “I thought they weren’t supposed to know the time in the house?” Big Brother bosses previously made it clear that contestants were being sent into a house where they would have no access to clocks, phones, internet, or streaming services.

However, a member of the 2024 Big Brother cast previously let slip that the producers forgot to tamper with one kitchen item, which meant housemates were able to figure out the time while on the show. Martha told Heat World : “We were really fortunate – [producers] left the time on the cookers, so we always knew the time. The only thing we did know was the time.”

Some eagle-eyed viewers also pointed out that other kitchen appliances still told the correct time in the 2024 Big Brother house. These included the coffee machine, microwave, and oven. So the likelihood is that this tradition has been carried on in the 2025 series of Celebrity Big Brother.

This is not the first time Donna has been involved in controversy on the ITV show, but last time it came at her expense. Mickey Rourke was accused of fat shaming her when he mocked her efforts in using an LED mask to tighten up the skin on her face.

Before making the offensive joke, “You’d probably be better off running round the block for ten minutes,” he inquired if she had seen any results. Donna responded, “I have to try something,” in a polite manner. My neck is a little turkey-toothed.

Mickey quickly responded, “It comes with the territory.” Donna looked confused and inquired as to what he meant by “the territory.”

He went on to explain, “You are what you eat” as they say. Patsy Palmer jumped in to defend her, saying Donna eats really well. The comedian seemed quite upset when he made his comment. Ella and Danny Beard supported Donna afterward when they later spoke to her about the incident.

Michael Underwood, the wife of Angellica Bell, made a eminently rare TV appearance tonight on Late &Live, the show’s companion on Celebrity Big Brother. He mentioned that his wife is staying at the Big Brother house while he is away.

Angellica, also 49, was supported by former TV presenter Michael, who is known for his presenting roles on CBBC and CITV earlier. He appeared in a ITV interview where host AJ Odudu, 37, discussed housemates’ loved ones with him ahead of tomorrow night’s third eviction.

Since 2010, Angellica and Michael have been married. In recent years, Michael has become a teacher and host of Virgin Radio. The couple is the father of two children.

Michael said that it’s “hard” not being able to speak to his wife while she’s in the Big Brother house while he was talking about his wife on Late & Live tonight. He also expressed his joy at how well-performing she is overall on the program.

He told host AJ on the companion show, “I would tell her she’s doing so brilliantly,” when asked what he would say to Angellica. She is a joy to the entire family. I’m proud.

And it’s the show’s most emotional scene, Michael continued. She is normally known for being extremely strong, strong, and independent. However, you’re aware that the intense circumstance is causing the emotion to creep out, which is obvious.

He continued, “Sometimes I literally have to hold myself back because just looking at her like that makes me want to be there and give her a big cuddle.” and let her know everything will work out. Therefore, it’s difficult for me to speak with her.

AJ also inquired about her friendship with housemates Ella Rae Wise and Danny Beard, who she claimed was “fangirling” after watching Jungle Run host Michael on television as a child. He stated, “Angellica prefers people who are straight talking.”

Danny, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race in the UK, was another comment Michael made tonight when he said, “Angellica likes people who are just direct and honest. And that’s Danny, in my opinion. She knows where she stands, he’s funny, and he talks direct.

He said, “In the years that I’ve been married to Angellica, she’s had to deal with people who she doesn’t read or who she doesn’t trust. They act in those kinds of behaviors when they say something and then do it. So, in my opinion, why does she like Danny?

Michael continued on the show by referring to Ella from Only Way is Essex, adding, “And with Ella she sees the vulnerability, I think. When Ella and Angellica and Danny interact, in my opinion, is at their best. She simply feels more introspective.

Angellica was one of the thirteen celebrities who stepped into the Big Brother studio last Monday to watch the new season. Three housemates have already left, making her one of the ten who are still living in the house prior to tomorrow night’s eviction. Tomorrow, Daley Thompson and Patsy Palmer will be forced out.

Tomorrow night at 10:30 p.m. on ITV2 and ITVX, Late & Live will air. It will begin airing right after Celebrity Big Brother’s live eviction, which will be available on ITV, ITVX, STV, and STV Player starting at 9 p.m.

Celebrity Big Brother viewers saw tension brewing between EastEnders star Patsy Palmer and TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise on the ITV show tonight when the housemates played a game

Celebrity Big Brother viewers have reacted to tension between Patsy Palmer and Ella Rae Wise. It came during a discussion between some of the remaining housemates on the ITV show about their personal lives.

Ten celebrities remain in the Big Brother house in the new series, which launched last week. The group includes EastEnders cast member Patsy – who was saved by the public from the second eviction on Tuesday night – and the Only Way is Essex star Ella.

Tensions began to rise on tonight’s episode between Patsy and Ella amid the housemates playing a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ together. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard asked his fellow housemates if they had ever “hooked up with a really famous person”. Ella then teased: “Never Have I Ever had a really famous celebrity in my DMs.”

Ella went on to say that she had a “naughty one,” because “he’s got a wife,” message her on social media. Patsy told her: “No, you better not share that. Don’t share things about people with wives.” She then told Chesney Hawkes: “I hate that kind of thing. It brings it low. Like, we’re not scum of the earth.”

Addressing the reaction, Ella said: “Why is everyone so serious today? Pats made me feel really bad about saying that. But I didn’t reply to the DMs. I didn’t reply.”

Patsy added: “I think it’s sometimes good to flag up because everyone gets carried away. You do have to be protective of yourself because you might regret it in the morning. You know how things can go and it’s not nice.” Following the remarks, Ella assured that the message had been received from the celebrity – whom she didn’t name – before he had been married.

Viewers shared their thoughts on X. One person wrote: “Ella totally backtracked when Patsy called her out on it.” Another said similarly in a post tonight: “Ella changing her story after Patsy rightly so told her not to mention anything about a married man. ‘Oh he wasn’t married then’ please.”

A third said: “Ella genuinely made it sound like he had a wife at the time of the DM and he messaged back. like she wanted to stir the pot then changed the story to he never replied and before he had a wife?” Alongside a laughing and crying emoji, one fan said: “THE BACKTRACKING FROM ELLA ‘No this was before he was married’.” Someone else said: “Lmfao Ella backtracking saying he wasn’t married yet…”

Others agreed with Patsy over the situation. One fan wrote: ” Yeah Patsy [is] right on that one, Ella keep quiet on that one..” Someone else said: “Patsy right why does Ella have to advertise someone else life that maybe don’t want to be exposed.”

Some viewers instead appeared disappointed that Patsy shut down the discussion. One person wrote: “I get what Patsy is trying to say but I also wanted to know who slid into Ella’s DMs smh.” Another said: “Oh Ella get yourself back on the Challenge! You can share that juicy gossip on there without the likes of Patsy getting upset.”

It isn’t the first time that Ella has spoken about her personal life on Celebrity Big Brother. She was seen in tears last week just days into the experience whilst speaking to JoJo Siwa and Angellica Bell about her latest relationship coming to an end recently.

Ella had been in a relationship with TOWIE co-star Dan Edgar prior to entering the Big Brother house. Last week though, it was announced that they had split up, with Ella then telling her co-stars that it happened “like a week ago”.

After saying that she was “alright,” Ella was seen in tears as the other two housemates comforted her. She said: “Thank you. It’s just one of them things. I just feel like an idiot because everyone … I just knew he weren’t gonna be what I wanted him to be. And I thought maybe he might for me but he’s just …”

She told them: “And I don’t want to waste years trying to change someone. Do you know what I mean?” Angellica replied: “That just shows strength.” Ella then commented: “Just have to let it be. It doesn’t mean we can’t be friends.”

Ella had aannounced that her 18 month relationship with Dan had come to an end shortly before entering the Big Brother house last week. She said that while their chemistry was undeniable, she wanted more from the romance than just physical attraction.

She told the Sun: “It was a decision that I had to make because I didn’t feel that we were getting things that we wanted out of each other.” Ella said: “We can be best friends, but if something’s missing, what are we wasting our time for?”

Sharing her thoughts, Ella suggested that Dan is “very set in his ways,” adding that she can’t “expect someone to change”. She added: “And if he’s comfortable in how he is and if he thinks what he gives in a relationship is enough, that’s okay because that can be enough for someone.” Ella continued by stating that it’s “just not enough” for her though.

Dan has since addressed the break-up. He said in a statement: “The past week has seen a strange turn of events and things have been said that I didn’t really want to comment on, but to put it straight, Ella and I agreed to go our separate ways amicably last week, and were speaking right up until she left to go into the house.”

He added in the statement issued last week: “I think we both have our reasons for why it wasn’t working out, but there are certain things in life I would rather keep private. I wish her all the best and hope she enjoys her experience.”

Celebrity Big Brother continues tomorrow night with its live eviction from 9pm on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Late & Live will then air from 10.30pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Angellica Bell nominated both Daley Thompson and Patsy Palmer for eviction and then cried as the results were announced – and fans think she was faking the emotion to hide her guilt

Angellica Bell became emotional during Celebrity Big Brother tonight, but fans think they were crocodile tears. The CBBC alum started crying after the nominations were revealed, despite having voted for the very two people facing eviction.

Retired athlete Daley Thompson and EastEnders star Patsy Palmer were the two who got the most nominations from their housemates and could be facing the boot from the public. Daley was nominated by Patsy alongside Chris Hughes and comedian Donna Preston.

Meanwhile, Patsy was nominated by Chris. Danny Beard, former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa and the Only Way is Essex’s Ella Rae Wise. Notably, Angellica also voted for both Patsy and Daley as her two choices.

As soon as Big Brother announced the nominees the celebs were quickly distracted by Angellica, who seemed to be quietly crying at the news. As people asked what was up, she said: “Just know, everyone, it’s really emotional for me as well. Just that I love you all. I’m going to have a shower, it’s quite stressful isn’t it.”

“Bless you Angellica,” someone said as she started walking away, while Patsy said: “Honestly, don’t be stressed because I’m fine with it.” “It’s a game, it’s fine,” Daley said, with Angellica having already left the room. Patsy added: “Everyone’s got to go, we’re not just in there saying nothing are we?”

On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans quickly noted that Angellica had nominated both Patsy and Daley, and suggested she was covering her tracks with her emotional response. “Both of Angellica’s nominee’s facing eviction- the guilt hit her then,” one person said, with another adding: “Angellica showing love but nominated Patsy WTF?”

“Angellica you voted for Patsy, don’t be two faced dorlin,” with someone else pointing out that “she voted Daley too.” Another fan simply joked: “Angellica and Patsy were besties on launch night and now they’re starting to despise each other lollll.”

This isn’t the first time Angellica has broken down in tears on the show. The star recently shared an emotional chat with fellow housemate Danny, who told her that she was his inspiration growing up – and Angellica gushed over her children’s TV career.

“I’m really proud of it, but it is quite emotional,” she while holding back the tears. “What I love about children is that they’re so open, they’re not tarnished by sinisterism, the world or by life.”

The star then went on to tell a story about a letter she found from a young girl who wrote to her. “She sent a picture of herself and her brother, and she said that she wants to get into acting – and by watching me she’s going to go for her dreams.

“Obviously her name’s on it, so I looked her up, and she’s gone on to be a teacher, and she went to drama school,” Angellica explained with tears in her eyes. “I feel like they’re my babies.”
