I’ve been on Celebrity Big Brother twice and can spot who’s playing a game – Louis is one of the only real ones
CELEBRITY Big Brother legend James Jordan knows a thing or two when it comes working out who's being themselves in the famous house.
He's one of a small number of people who's been holed up in the CCTV compound more than once and has never shied away from calling out false behaviour.
James, 45, has been casting his eye over this year's series with interest and in typical straight-talking fashion hasn't been afraid to debate with other viewers.
Last night he claimed one housemate in particular is playing a big game, while two entertainment stalwarts are staying true to themselves.
Writing on X, he posted: "Myself and Ola did 3 months on Strictly with Fern plus the tour and she is adorable and real. For me the biggest actor in the house so far and the obvious one that is trying to play the game is Ekin Su."
In another post, he said: "I see quite a few people playing games this year. Like Louis or not - at least his real as is Fern."

Doubling down on his defence of Fern, James claimed she could see through others' game plans too.
"Fern is amazing and a great judge of character," he said. "Several people in there performing when they know the cameras are on them during tasks and nominations - I’ve done the show twice and know acting when I see it."
He was less complimentary of Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin, whose show of emotion left James thinking that he needs to toughen up to go the distance.
He said: "Why does Nikita always have his hands over his face like he’s in complete shock about what’s going on? And that he just wants peace and harmony.
"Well unfortunately that’s just not life and certainly not Bog Brother. Wonder if he knew what he signed up for?"
James made the final of CBB 14 and returned for another crack at the show in CBB 19 where he was far less successful finishing 13th.
Last night Marisha Wallace threatened to quit the show.
Things turned sour between her and pal Ekin-Su after the face-to-face nominations.
Marisha nominated Love Island star Ekin, 29, telling her: "Only because I know if I get to the final with you, I can't beat you."
Their fellow housemates were speechless as Ekin-Su snapped: "I knew this would happen."
After the nominations twist Marisha tried to explain her reasons again and asked: "Why are you mad at me? I had to nominate someone!"
But Ekin had none of it and stormed off in tears.
Marisha headed to the Diary Room and told Big Brother: "I can't take it anymore. I just want to go home."
