CELEBRITY Big Brother star Ella Rae Wise admitted she "wouldn't be happy" if she was JoJo Siwa's partner watching her connection with Chris Hughes flourish.
The TOWIE favourite was booted out of the spy house in a brutal triple eviction on Tuesday.

Since then, Ella, 24, has broken her silence on the "testing and overwhelming" experience inside the ITV compound after claims she was set to have a "fake showmance".
The Sun revealed that Ella dumped boyfriend Dan Edgar after setting her sights on Love Island alum Chris, 33, - who will battle it out against JoJo in tonight's final.
Yet fans speculated Ella's "gameplan" had "backfired" due to her lack of connection with the ITV Racing pundit during her Celebrity Big Brother experience.
Yet his close friendship with JoJo put a stop to any feelings forming - with viewers left confused over Chris' seemingly "flirty" behaviour towards JoJo, who is in a relationship with her partner Kath Ebbs.
On Friday's Lorraine show, stand-in host Ranvir Singh, 47, asked Ella about their connection and she said: "All I can see is they are really good friends.
"I have seen on social media comments they may be flirting, but I can't speak for that.
"I see a close friendship - and them being there for each other."
Yet Ella, who has her own fashion line away from reality TV, conceded she wouldn't be impressed if she was in Kath's position.

She told Ranvir she would be unhappy and said: "I would.
"I would think what's going on, and I would be feeling down about it naturally.
"But some people have friendships and physical touch."
As Ranvir again asked if she thought the pair were just mates, Ella insisted: "I do.
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 line-up
Celebrity Big Brother is back for a brand new series, with a whole host of stars set to live it up in the famous compound.
"I feel like she's [JoJo] got a partner, she's absolutely in love with her partner."
ON THE ROCKS?
Ella's words came after CBB fans were left convinced her relationship with Kath was "on the rocks" after a less than gushing letter from home.
The housemates were treated to letters from home as part of a special task.
JoJo’s note was from her mum, Jess - but included a message from the Dance Moms star's parter Kath.
JoJo had Chris read her letter from her mum.
He read to the group: “Hi JoJo, we're having so much fun watching you in the Big Brother house.
"The most important thing to tell you is a message from Kath because I know you really miss them the most. ‘Kath’s keen to see you when you get out’...”
"I've had so much fun with Kath whilst you're away, we've had lots of phone calls and Facetimes and they even came to my house to watch the launch of the show.
"I'm happy you're making such good friends and I'm happy you've chosen to see the good in everyone in the house.
"I know some moments have been hard when some true colours unexpectedly come out but I know you can handle anything and anyone.
"I can't wait to see you soon and hear of the stories, I know you'll remember every little detail. I miss you so much, love mum."
Recently, JoJo also told how she is no longer a lesbian as she clarified her sexuality on the show.
JoJo headed to the Diary Room to rant: “I do have beef to pick with them though, they didn’t even say in the note that they love me.
“I will not let them live that down. I will say, ‘where was my ‘hi sweetheart’, where was my ‘I love you’ where was my ‘I miss you’?’.
“Like happy you’re keen to see me when I get out of here, keen to see you as well, but come on baba, give me a little something something.”
Viewers raced to their X/Twitter platform to say they're convinced JoJo's partner Kath is furious at her.
The letter came after JoJo and Chris secretly held hands in the bedroom.
Chris then asked JoJo to lick his shorts in a move some found bizarre.
He also stripped naked in front of the actress before heading for an off-camera chat.
Chris has even offered to have JoJo's babies in another shock remark.
It comes as a source told The Sun: “JoJo and Chris have been the talking point of the series, with the ‘will-they won’t-they’ narrative.
“Even if it’s purely platonic, as they claim, fans are convinced Kath must be furious about the endless physical contact, at least."
