Celebrity Big Brother fans were left fuming by ‘annoying’ Chesney Hawkes as the iconic reality show returned to ITV2 on Monday evening.
The 90s singer, 53, entered the star-studded house alongside the likes of Trisha Goddard, 67, Patsy Palmer, 52, and Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, 72.
However TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise, 24, was the one that seemingly rubbed Chesney up the wrong way as he continually shushed her ‘like a school teacher’.
As the celebs all gathered and got to know each other, The One and Only put his finger to his lips as he encouraged Ella to be quiet.
Taking to X fans fumed: ‘Not Chesney shushing her’: ‘Chesney Shhing that girl, goes he think he’s her teacher?’: ‘Chesney shushing her… are you a school teacher or what’: Did Chesney just shush everyone?! Hate him already’.
‘Chesney stop shushing everyone like a teacher’: ‘CHESNEY STOP SHUSHING PEOPLE I SWEAR’: ‘Chesney keeps telling people to shush with his finger to his lips, like they’re children at school. think that’ll pee people off’.

Earlier in the episode Chesney left fans stunned when he stripped naked just minutes into the launch show.
As the first celebrity to enter the house on the night he shocked viewers as he played his guitar while completely naked in his VT.
Chesney hitmaker revealed in the clip that one thing people don’t know about him is ‘I am a bit of a nudist. I do like to get naked’.
His confession comes just six months after he bared all in a Saltburn-inspired music video for Get A Hold Of Yourself because he wanted to ‘feel free in his 50s’.
Fans were bowled over by his risque display, as one said: ‘Chesney Hawkes naked on my tele was not on my bingo card.’
Others wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘We’re only 4 minutes in and we already have NAKED CHESNEY HAWKES!!’;
‘Cannot tell u how much I don’t want to see Chesney Hawkes naked,’; ‘Chesney Hawkes naked 5 minutes into the show….reality tv is back!!
In September, Chesney admitted he ‘jumped on the opportunity to get naked’ in his music video for Get A Hold Of Yourself.

Fans were unimpressed and swiftly came to the defence of the TOWIE star (L) pictured with Daley Thompson (R)
Taking to X fans fumed: ‘Not Chesney shushing her’: ‘Chesney Shhing that girl, goes he think he’s her teacher?’
He released his first new single in 12 years, and took inspiration from Barry Keoghan‘s famous nude scene in Saltburn where he dances in the buff around the mansion at the end of the movie.
In one snap, Chesney was seen completely naked as he took a soak in a lavish marble bathtub while another showed him lying comfortably on a chair.
Another behind-the-scenes shot showed Chesney dancing down a grand staircase nude.
Filming for Chesney’s music video took place at Thomas Shelby’s (Cillian Murphy) mansion from Peaky Blinders.
In another hilarious snap, Chesney proudly showed off his pert bottom as he posed in front of the extravagant home.
During the filming process, he also opted to wear just a beige fedora hat as he posed naked on the stairs.
While discussing his thought process behind the music video, Chesney cheekily admitted that he wanted to ‘show a different side’ to himself.

He joked: ‘It’s good for us all to let go of ourselves sometimes and feel free – especially for me in my 50s… I wanted to show a different side of myself … even if it was my rear side.
‘I jumped on the opportunity for my new video to get naked and dance like nobody was watching!
‘Who wouldn’t in Thomas Shelby’s house! My wife says I get my kit off anytime I can ha ha.’
