Celebrity Big Brother fans have jumped to JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes‘ defence after their housemates claimed they’re game playing.

During Tuesday night’s episode, Ella Rae Wise, Daley Thompson and Trisha Goddard all blasted the pair for ‘not being themselves’ and playing up to their reality TV past.

JoJo and Chris have set tongues wagging in recent days with their super close relationship.

And once again they found themselves at the centre of drama as JoJo drew out an unknown message on the Love Island hunk’s hand – leading to a rule break.

A fed up Daley said: ‘You know its part of the plan because every time they get a punishment, they get the airtime.’

Ella added: ‘I told you they’ve been having secret conversations.’

JoJo and Chris have set tongues wagging in recent days with their super close relationship

But fans completely disagreed with claims JoJo and Chris have a game plan, with some writing on X: ‘STOP WITH THE OH THEIR GAMEPLAYING! AND WHAT ABOUT IT! YOUR IN A GAME! #cbbuk #cbb’,

‘”Jojo and chris are playing a game” yeah you’re on a game show #CBBUK #CBB’,

‘Everyone clocking Chris and Jojo’s game plan is so funny’,

‘Ella is so f*cking annoying complaining about Chris and Jojo “playing a game” WHEN THEYRE ON A BLOODY GAME SHOW! #CBBUK’,

‘#CBBUK the thing is it doesn’t even seem like Chris and jojo are playing a game. All it is is 2 people who have a stronger bond than others. Surely if they were game playing they’ll want to mingle with everyone????’,

‘I dont think its fair for the housemates to label chris and jojo as game playing to try and turn audience against from them just bc they’re the two that have clicked the most, not necessarily game playing also chris was EXACTLY like this on love island w kem #cbbuk’.

Lying on the floor next to his bed, JoJo, 21, grabbed his hand and spelled something out with her finger, before telling Chris, 32, to ‘think about it’ and adding that it ‘made sense’.

Big Brother gathered the housemates in the living room to announce that this was rule break.

But fans completely disagreed with claims JoJo and Chris have a game plan, with some writing on X: ‘STOP WITH THE OH THEIR GAMEPLAYING! AND WHAT ABOUT IT! YOUR IN A GAME!’

Big Brother said: ‘This is Big Brother. Before you entered the house, the rules regarding attempting to communicate in code or write messages were clearly explained to you.

‘Today, that rule was broken. At 1:59am in the bedroom, JoJo wrote messages on Chris’ hand in secret. Chris gave JoJo his hand and said, ‘you can write it out’. JoJo then wrote on Chris’ hand and said ‘It makes sense, think about it.’

Big Brother said, ‘Chris and JoJo, stand up.’

JoJo revealed: ‘I solemnly swear, put my hand on a bible, it had nothing to do with nominations.’

Big Brother added: ‘Chris, JoJo, you have broken a fundamental rule of the Big Brother house and you will be punished. You have communicated in secret so from now on your conversations will be anything but…’

‘JoJo, Chris, until further notice you are only permitted to speak through a megaphone for all to hear.’

Daley added: ‘But that’s not a punishment, that’s a punishment for us. They’re laughing because they’re annoying us.’

‘Big Brother likes to put a cat amongst the pigeons,’ Angellica quipped.

Lying on the floor next to his bed, the Karma hitmaker, 21, grabbed his hand and spelled something out with her finger, before telling Chris, 32, to ‘think about it’ and adding that it ‘made sense’

Danny replied: ‘A cat amongst the pigeons? That’s two massively loud hyenas amongst a flock of doves.

Fans reckon they’ve worked out the secret code JoJo Siwa wrote on Chris Hughes’ hand at the end of Monday’s show.

Some reckon she was giving the heads up on Ella’s potential feelings towards him, remarking: ‘I feel like jojo told chris that she thinks ella fancies him’,

With another adding: ‘Jojo could have noticed how Ella has been acting towards Chris and was telling him, and spelling it out so nobody would hear.’

While others believe she was sharing her affection for him, with users commenting: ‘Did JoJo do 143? I love you?!?!?’, ‘I heart u probably’, and ‘She draw a heart and said it makes sense.’

Meanwhile, different viewers were of the opinion that JoJo may have been offering a secret code about nominations or their fellow housemates.

One shared: ‘I think Jojo wrote E and P on Chris’ hand btw’, with another adding: ‘What did Jojo write on Chris’ hand??? 3 letters. Second letter looked like it could be an o or a lowercase e.’

With a further believing it there could have been a simpler explanation: ‘IMO she said she was hot in answer to his question why she was lying on the floor.’

Celebrity Big Brother fans reckon they’ve worked out the secret code JoJo wrote on Chris’ hand at the end of Monday’s show

Watching the peculiar scenes unfold, viewers believed they’ve solved the mystery of the pair’s secret message, with many giving offering varying theories

It appears that Big Brother wasn’t impressed by the late night communications as the show’s official X account later revealed that the two would be punished for the rule break

Either way, plenty of watchers called out the duo for breaking the rules as they were communicating in secret.

It comes as CBB viewers fans accused Ella Rae Wise of being ‘jealous’ of fellow housemate JoJo Siwa .

Monday’s episode of the ITV show saw the TOWIE star, 24, sitting in the garden with Angellica Bell, 49, as they watched the pop star give Chris Hughes a back massage.

Expressing her feelings about JoJo, Ella remarked that she was ‘not her cup of tea’ as she complained about how loud the singer was.

Continuing her rant about the Karma hitmaker, Ella said: ‘There’s not an off switch’, before adding: ‘You’re not like that all the time at home, you’re not, of course you’re not. My mum would tell me to calm the f**k down.’

Turning to the presenter, Ella then asked whether she was ‘being a b***h’, with Angellica noting that there was some truth in what she was saying as Chris and JoJo have separated themselves from the group.

Watching the scenes unfold, viewers believe that the real reason she slammed JoJo was because she was ‘jealous’ of her close friendship with Chris, with some claiming she is craving the Love Island hunk’s attention.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, they penned: ‘Ella is coming across like she is jealous of Chris and JoJo,’

CBB: Ella admits fellow housemate Jojo is ‘too much energy’

‘Ella, everything is not fine and you definitely do care. You’re jealous of Chris and Jojo. It is what it is,’

‘It might be best for Ella Rae Wise to go back under the radar because she’s being a little toxic with the gossiping,’

‘liked ella at the start but now i’m sorry i just can’t with how purely jealous she is of chris and jojo. the gossiping. the faces. the comments. girl jojo is lesbian and chris might not like u just do u!!!!’

‘Ella, my dawwlin’ you’re looking very desperate my love, very desperate. Jealous of a lesbians friendship with an ALLY! HA! Get a life my Luvvie,’

‘The jealousy pouring outta Ella is f**king hilarious! She is raging he hasn’t been all over her’
