CBB fans predict a romance between Chris Hughes and Ella Wise
Ella recently split from TOWIE's Dan Edgar
It may be early days, but after just two episodes, Celebrity Big Brother fans are already predicting this year's series could see a potential romance, with many thinking single housemates Chris Hughes and Ella Wise could get together.
The pair, who are both no strangers to reality TV, having appeared on shows such as Love Island and TOWIE, entered the house alongside the likes of Trisha Goddard, Mickey Rourke, Chesney Hawkes and JoJo Siwa, during Monday night's live launch.
Although viewers have only witnessed one episode of the housemates mingling in the famous house, many are predicting there could be a romantic spark between Chris and Ella, especially after seeing their flirty chat over cleaning products on Tuesday night (8th April).
One fan wrote online: 'Chris chose a bed… and then moved next to Ella 👀 calling it early … a love island and towie fan here 🤣 #CBBUK'. (sic)
Another wrote: 'ella and chris ‘romance’ incoming', with another adding: 'Chris and Ella already flirting, my ship #CBB #BigBrother'. (sic)
Cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch then commented: 'Flirty cleaning … I’m here for it 😍😂😉'. (sic)
Whilst some viewers were more optimistic about a connection between the pair, others are worried CBB bosses will try and force the 'showmance' storyline between the two.
One added: 'The way they put the camera straight on Chris when Ella came in 💀they want a showmance chile not subtle at all 😭'. (sic)
A second added: 'Itv already trying to force a Chris and Ella romance down our throats #CBBUK'. (sic)
Somebody else wrote: 'The inevitable Ella and Chris showmance looms #CBBUK'. (sic)
As reality TV fans will know, Chris Hughes first found fame when he appeared on the third series of Love Island back in 2017, making it all the way to the final alongside Olivia Attwood.
Things didn't work out for the pair in the real world, with Chris going on to date the likes of Jesy Nelson and pro golfer Annabel Dimmock. However, in recent years, Chris has been single, with the 32-year-old focussing on his TV presenting career with ITV Sport.
Meanwhile, Ella has been in an on-off relationship with her TOWIE co-star Dan Edgar for the last 18 months, with viewers witnessing the pair's romance blossom during the current series of TOWIE.
However, just days before Ella entered the CBB house, she confessed her relationship with Dan is now over, admitting there was just 'something missing'.
