CBB star Marisha Wallace reveals secret connection to one of her housemates after meeting when he was just 15
CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Marisha Wallace has revealed her secret connection to Bradley Riches, having first met when he was just 15.
Musical theatre star Marisha, 38, became a household name when she took part in the ITV reality show earlier this year.
It was here that she first encountered Bradley, 22, who shot to fame on the Netflix show Heartstopper last year.
But it appears they had, in fact, crossed paths seven years earlier when the young actor approached her for a selfie before one of her shows.
In a video shared to Instagram today, Marisha shared the throwback snap before cutting to a video of the pair partying in the present day.
She wrote: “Bradley used to be a fan at the stage door and now he is my friend.
“Who would have known 7 years ago we would end up in the Celebrity Big Brother house?!”
Marisha isn’t the only housemate Bradley’s reunited with as, just last week, he ran into Louis Walsh and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu at an event.
The trio came face-to-face for the BPerfect opening in Belfast and, thankfully, there were no hard feelings between Louis and Ekin-Su after they clashed in the house.
Instead there were smiles, hugs and peace signs as they put the reality TV drama behind them.
It’s no surprise as the former X Factor judge had raked in a huge five figure sum just for showing up.
A source said: “Louis has been away from the celeb party scene for a long time but he’s hot property now he’s been on CBB.
“He was paid a massive £12k just to show up last night. He got a huge fee for CBB, so it’s no surprise he can ask for loads.
“Ekin was also there as an ambassador for the brand, so was showing Louis the ropes.”
The tidy sum is a nice addition to the near £850,000 he received for his weeks in Big Brother.
