CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have turned on 'vile' Ella Rae Wise after she 'targeted' Chris Hughes in her brutal nominations bombshell.

Towie star Ella, 24, was left in floods of tears and stormed out of the face-to-face challenge after accusing Chris Hughes, 32, of playing a “massive game” - a claim she struggled to back up.

Ella then explained one of her choices and said: "I’m nominating Chris. I’ve been told you like to play a massive game. And you come into things with a game plan."

She also claimed evicted star Daley Thompson had warned her about two reality star housemates "playing a game".

She continued: "And when Daley said that to me, and told me to be careful, it sort of solidified that to me, and I can’t get it out of my head.”

Chris then hit back and asked what TV shows she was talking about.

But Ella failed to back it up and said she wouldn't "throw that person under the bus" to avoid giving him an explanation.

She also nominated Chesney Hawkes, citing his failure to defend her when Mickey Rourke made inappropriate, sexualised comments towards her.

That move, too, sparked backlash, with some fans feeling Ella unfairly put Chesney on the spot for a situation he had little control over.

As nominations continued to unfold, it all proved too much for Ella.

JoJo Siwa also nominated her and explained: "When we do a task I think sometimes I see you almost decide how you're going to feel about something before it's even happened and almost want there to be a problem or there to be a negative or a drama.

"I think that can be really hard when there is attention that doesn't need to be there."

Ella broke down in tears and furiously stormed out.

The reality star tried to compose herself and returned for the rest of the nominations.

The fallout extended to Instagram, where a clip of Chris comforting Chesney prompted an outpouring of support for both men - and a wave of criticism directed at Ella.

One viewer wrote: “Ella to go!!" while another said: "In a world of Ella’s be a JoJo."

Someone else added: "Ella is vile. she's throwing her toys out of the pram because Chris doesn't fancy her. It's embarrassing."

A third said: "Jojo is very mature and emotionally intelligent love her and Chris’s relationship Ella just super jealous! Felt so sorry for #chesneyhawkes when Ella made him feel small."

If nominating face-to-face wasn’t hard enough, Big Brother has another brutal twist up his sleeve. 

Chris, Angellica, Ella, Patsy and JoJo received the most nominations.

One of the nominated housemates was given the chance to save themselves by finding one golden egg hidden in a basket at the centre of the room.

JoJo was successful and had to choose one of the non-nominated housemates to replace them.

She decided to pick Danny to replace her, ultimately putting him up for nomination.
