The penultimate Celebrity Big Brother of the series aired on Thursday, and some fans believe they’ve unearthed a blunder from the reality show.
As the finalists became emotional over their letters from home and the prospect of saying goodbye, one small conversation between Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, and Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd, 37, raised eyebrows.
Referencing last week’s Blue Origin space flight, which saw singer Katy Perry joining an all-female team for a controversial launch, Hughes quizzed Shepherd on his thoughts about outer space.
He asked the actor if he would “ever go into space like Katy Perry did,” admitting he’d be too scared.

Shephard was confused by the information, seemingly knowing nothing about it, and asked why Perry had been invited to go on the space flight.
However, Hughes’ knowledge of the trip, which caused a huge media storm last week, confused some viewers, as Big Brother housemates are supposed to be cut off from the outside world.
However, some were quick to point out that while the flight took place during the housemates’ Big Brother stint, it had been announced months ago.
Still, many were suspicious of the apparent rule break and flooded social media with their thoughts on the “error”.
