SINGER JoJo Siwa was left confused when her Celebrity Big Brother housemates kept calling Patsy Palmer by her EastEnders character’s name.
Telly star Angellica Bell was one of the housemates on the reality TV show who kept referring to Patsy as ‘Bianca,’ after the actress rose to fame playing the feisty Bianca Jackson on EastEnders.
Angellica made the gaffe while at the kitchen bench while sitting with American singer JoJo, Towie’s Ella Rae Wise and RuPaul’s Drag Race star, Danny Beard.
Her mistake left Ella and Danny in hysterics.
But the 21-year-old American popstar who has limited knowledge of British pop culture, could not understand what was so funny.
“Who’s that?” she asked in confusion.
Danny tried to compose himself to explain why there were laughing.
CBB fans reacted to the hilarious moment on X, formerly Twitter.
“Angelica just called Patsy “Bianca” accidentally and JoJo is SO confused about why they’re all laughing lmao,” wrote one person.
Another added: “Someone really needs to show JoJo an episode of EastEnders.”
And a third posted: “it’s when Jojo goes “who?!”
Patsy had earlier told housemate, Donna Preston, that her real name was Julie and didn’t mind being called by that name or Patsy, but should never be called Bianca in the house.
The confusion at the kitchen bench was a lighthearted moment for JoJo after she was embroiled in a homophobic incident at the hands of veteran actor, Mickey Rourke.
