With a new series of Big Brother waiting in the wings (seriously, it somehow launches this weekend), we've been keeping a close on the show's presenters and former Housemates' socials over the last few days.

And we've learned two very interesting tidbits that we simply had to share with our loyal heat readers.

One, apparently Love Island 2017 star turned Celebrity Big Brother 2025 staple Chris Hughes doesn't know what Married At First Sight is. ICYMI, he took snaps of one of the most recent eps and shared them on his story like he'd just uncovered some sort of life-changing mystical relic. How is this possible, please? You're telling us he's never stumbled across it on E4, run into a MAFS star at the endless showbiz bashes he's attended over the last few years, or even seen it mentioned on heatworld?

That last one stings, we're not going to lie.

Two, apparently there's secret beef between Big Brother host Will Best and Chris' girlfriend/former Celeb Big Brother housemate JoJo Siwa and the origin story will make you cringe.

Okay, maybe not secret beef (us? Sensationalise? Hush), but in a recent interview – ahead of Sunday's launch – Will revealed that he's 'probably not going to be invited to the wedding' of JoJo and Chris if and when they tie the knot.

While discussing the role he might play in his bestie AJ Odudu's forthcoming nuptials, the conversation moved to the hypothetical wedding of CBB housemates JoJo and Chris.

While discussing the relationship, Will revealed that a week after leaving CBB, JoJo was interviewed on Hits Radio – on Will's show – and when the pair came face-to-face JoJo INTRODUCED herself to him, despite the fact that he had just hosted the very show she had starred on for weeks and had no doubt come in to talk about.

How did Will take it? Well, he used the word 'offensive', but we're pretty sure he was just joking; the way Will does.

He began by saying, 'They’re like early Posh and Becks you know, thrones at the wedding. That's the energy.

'But I interviewed Jojo on my Hits Radio radio show about a week after Big Brother, and she walked in and the first thing she did was introduce herself to me like "Hi, I'm JoJo".

'I was like JoJo, I know, it’s Will! From Big Brother! Offensive.'

He added, 'She did say the final was a whirlwind.

'But no, I'm probably not going to be invited to the wedding.'

Definitely not if she keeps forgetting meeting you. That's showbiz, baby.

But seriously, how has Chris Hughes never HEARD of Married At First Sight, please?
