BIG Brother fans have slammed the show as a romance heats up just mere days into the new series.
“This isn’t Love Island,” fans have fumed as in Wednesday’s episode.


Not only did the pair share some flirtatious words and glances at the top of the show, but the housemates got cosy in bed later in the episode.
Fans instantly flocked to social media to slam the first ‘showmance’ of this year’s series.
After the teaser at the start of the episode showed Marcus and Elsa in bed, X exploded.
One person wrote: “Marcus and Elsa already in the same bed after 24 hours… i’m sorry I thought I was watching big brother not love island.”
Another added: “ELSA AND MARCUS SHARING THE BED ALREADY? OK NOW IM IN NOT BORED RN.”
Elsa, 21, is a content creator with more than 500,000 followers online and is the ex-girlfriend of controversial internet personality Ed Matthews.
Marcus, 22, is a hunky mechanical engineer who seems to have taken a shine to the blonde model.
At the start of the episode, Elsa looked over at Marcus and laughed.
He then said: “She just looks at me and laughs.”
Caroline was quick to weigh in, saying: “I think she’s in love.”
Marcus joked back: “I know, I don’t blame her.”
He then said: “Come here, Elsa,” and gave her a hug.
Caroline quickly chimed in with: “The romance is coming.”
Then, towards the end of the episode, Elsa and Marcus were seen cuddling in bed.
