It's wild to think this year's Big Brother has been out of our lives for almost a month now – and it's even wilder to think we've got through it. When the show's on we genuinely tune in EVERY night, we are glued to the official Instagram account, hum the theme tune in our sleep (apparently) and, honestly, rarely leave the house (except for Halloween - gay obligation).
We're genuinely that level of scary fan - to be honest, if producers hadn't have scrapped that all night watching the housemates sleep feed from back in the day, we'd have clocked some seriously unhealthy hours watching that since the show returned to our screens
And 'cause we're heat, we got to interview almost all of the Big Brother 2024 housemates upon their exit from the house.
We've really got it good here at heat HQ. Seriously, how many of your heroes do you get to meet in your job? Okay, maybe that question doesn't apply to anyone who worked on Taylor Swift's Eras tour. Fine.
Naturally, we've been keeping a close eye on the housemates IRL, after all they've all got their socials back now and are being invited to every swanky party and event going right now.
As such, many of them are crossing paths once again, and after a little snoop at legend Emma Morgan's TIkTok, it appears the Big Brother queen is doing more than crossing paths with one hunky male housemate...
Last week, Emma posted a TikTok of her night out at a Christmas party for NEON Management with several of her BB co-stars, including Nathan King, Sarah Griffiths and Marcello Spooks, and while we were expecting an unfiltered edit from such a legend, we were not expecting her to share this...
Yep, Emma shared a short clip of her smooching hunky Big Brother star Marcello and the way we clutched our pearls.
Also, let's take a minute for Emma's nails...
Emma and Marcello, of course, shared a smooch inside the Big Brother house during a saucy game of spin the bottle, and it appears their lips have reunited once again.
In Emma's voiceover, she said, 'I said, "Let's relive that three seconds with Marcello". Bleeding lovely. Sarah's gobsmacked.'
So are we.
We know they're only joking, but can we all just imagine if these two actually got together for a hot sec? It's giving reality telly power couple and we're shipping it.
WHAT: Are Big Brother 2024 Nathan and Rosie a romance or a showmance? Last year's winner Jordan Sangha has his say
