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