Eagled-eyed fans reckon they know why any budding romance between and has stalled. There were high hopes for the pair when the show kicked off last week, with Ella appearing to flirt with the star fresh from her break up with Dan Edgar.
However, rumours of a feud soon started brewing as Ella, 23, insisted she didn't fancy Chris while complaining about the amount of time he was spending with Dance Moms star, JoJo Siwa, 21. It's now been revealed that the TOWIE star may have heard some rumours about Chris before she entered the house as she coyly discussed the 32-year-old with some of the housemates.

Lying on the bed, Drag Race star Danny Beard declared: "If I looked like that I'd be at it constantly." Rolling her eyes, Ella said: "I don't think he's that fit," which shocked Danny and Donna Preston prompting Ella to ask: "I'm sorry, is that mean?"
While they said no, Donna and Danny continued to praise Chris, with Danny saying: "He's such a lovely personality. I did not expect him to be as nice a boy as he is."
Donna agreed, but then added: "Maybe he's different on dates, we don't know." As Ella raised an eyebrow, Donna gasped and questioned: "Have you heard a story?"
Rather than lifting the lid on any gossip, the reality regular simply mimicked her mouth being zipped and throwing away the key.
Analysing the exchange over on Late and Live, reality star, Tiffany Pollard said Ella had every right to be cross with Chris, telling host, : "Ella has every right to the p****d off with Chris. He's ignoring her ovaries, her advances, her beauty and her oversized eyebrows.
"This woman wants this man, and I would be p****d off too. Him not to notice all the ember that she's throwing at him. She's on fire for this man."
On fire or not, Ella seemed irked by the amount of time Chris was spending with 'CEO of gay pop' JoJo as she shockingly nominated him for eviction.
Giving her reasons for her vote, she revealed in the Diary Room: "I don't know if he's 100% being his genuine self," she told the Diary Room. "And I wouldn't know that, because the only time that we ever speak is if he asks, or if we ask each other, are we okay, and is there anything that we want. Like we haven't had any other conversation other than that."
"I feel like he's keeping himself to one person only, and that's obviously JoJo," she continued. "He hasn't allowed himself to make connections with anyone else other than her. I just feel like he's playing a massive game."
* Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight on ITV at 9pm.
