We’ve got to do this.” GK added: “And it’s got to be a little bit towards the end. When they’ve started to argue and they want to know what’s going on, on the outside.” She was referring to the dramatic moment during Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, when Casey Batchelor’s mum arrived – after the housemates had been instructed that, in order to win the task, they were not to move or talk. Casey’s mum had a stern warning for her daughter, who was caught up in a love triangle with Blue singer Lee Ryan and actress Jasmine Waltz. Most read in TV She said: “Hello my princess.
