It might've wrapped last month, but we're still obsessing over Celebrity Big Brother. Is anyone even surprised? In fact, in our minds, if we keep clinging on to every word the cast of CBB 2025 utter in podcasts and on socials for another three or four weeks, that might just see us nicely into the start of summer Love Island season. Anything to avoid dealing with real life, to be honest.

And to be fair, we don't have to try that hard to achieve this, as our Celebrity Big Brother housemates continue to spill piping hot show tea in podcast and telly studios across the country right now. And, of course, we've got eyes and ears on them all.

Take the latest episode of Saving Grace, for example; host GK Barry invited Drag Race UK legend Danny Beard and TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise to join her for CBB-themed chinwag and it was a juicy one.

Not only did Ella lift the lid on her unsupportive TOWIE cast mates and admit to 'teeing up' that showmance-that-never-happened with Chris Hughes prior to entering the house (we can only imagine the PR popped to the loo at that point), but Danny opened up about Chris thinking like a Love Island producer in the house.

During a conversation about whether housemates ever contemplated how they were being perceived on the outside and if they ever thought about which scenes would and wouldn't get used, Danny revealed a moment where the Love Island 2017 star definitely had his Love Island producer hat on – and it's safe to say this never got aired.

Danny told Grace, 'It's funny, because you don't know what [footage] they're going to use.

'I remember the day after the pirate task, so much had happened, that people were like getting out of their costumes for the task and I remember Chris being like, "Surely they've got more than one show out of today? We could all just got to bed now."'

Danny then added, 'It was so Love Island of him.'

To be fair, Chris' familiarity with all things reality TV (and what producers want from pros like him) was the reason a huge chunk of the Big Brother fandom thought the Love Island legend might be using pop sensation JoJo Siwa for airtime and and clout.

It's safe to say Chris knows what he's doing in telly world as rumour has it, he has signed up for the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, following Christine McGuinness' sudden exit.
