But the comedian revealed the time as she went into the bedroom to check Ella was OK.

As the Towie star lay in bed, Donna told her: “It’s ten to nine.”

Those watching at home took to social media to discuss the moment, with one person commenting: “I thought they weren’t supposed to know the time in the house?”

Another said: “How did Donna know what the time was?”

Earlier in the series, Trisha Goddard was seen with a watch on, but was exempt from the rule due to the fact she is living with stage four terminal cancer and is thought to need it to monitor various aspects of her health.

Ella appeared to be struggling in tonight’s episode as she retreated to the bedroom and admitted her social battery was at 3%.

Later tensions began to rise between EastEnders star Patsy Palmer and The Only Way Is Essex's Ella, when RuPaul's Drag Race UK season four winner Danny Beard asked the group if they had ever "hooked up with a really famous person".

Ella replied that she had a "naughty one cause he's got a wife" messaging her on social media. 

Patsy told her "don't share things about people with wives", before telling Chesney: "I hate that kind of thing. It brings it low. Like we're not scum of the earth."

Having overheard Patsy, Ella added: "Why is everyone so serious today?

"Pats made me feel really bad about saying that. But I didn't reply to the DM. I didn't reply to the DM."

At the end of the show it was then revealed that Daley and Patsy  would face the public vote ahead of Friday's live eviction.

Olympian Daley received four nominations from Angellica Bell, Chris, Donna Preston and Patsy. Meanwhile, while Patsy received five nominations from Angellica, Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, Ella Rae Wise and JoJo Siwa
