Big Brother star Marcello Spooks’ unlikely celebrity connection is revealed after he was brutally mocked by fans for his pursuit of Ali
He already caused a stir among viewers with his search for the lesbian psychologist Ali.
But it has been revealed that Big Brother star Marcello Spooks already has an unlikely celebrity connection, having collaborated with budding rapper Junior Andre.
The 34-year-old musician, whose real name is Marcello Dentamaro, already has 6,000 Instagram followers and said before entering the house that he “hopes people see a side of him that they wouldn’t expect.”
Now it has emerged that Marcello has previously collaborated with Junior on his budding music career, even appearing in one of his Instagram photos in 2022.
Junior, the son of model Katie Price and singer Peter Andre, simply captioned the post: “My brother.”

Junior’s website states that he first met Marcello while visiting Rebel Studios in London, and co-wrote his debut single Only One in 2023.
His website also states that Junior first met Marcello while visiting Rebel Studios in London, and co-wrote his debut single Only One in 2023.
The song is said to reflect on a particular relationship where “even the negatives became positive.”
Marcello has also previously attempted to launch a music career, releasing the song True Colors in 2018, as well as an accompanying video.
According to his profile on music site Vibrate, Marcello’s songs have been streamed more than 9,000 times on Spotify.
It comes after Marcello was brutally mocked by viewers after announcing his plans to kiss housemate Ali.
The youth worker said he would ‘probably talk to the 38-year-old psychologist’, not knowing she was a ‘late lesbian’.
During a challenge, the non-housemates in the store were tasked with choosing who they would compete against in the main house and while they chose Ali, Marcello shared his interest in the stunner.
Fans went to bruises’: ‘Save Ali from all these men OMG’.

Marcello previously teased that he hoped to have a ‘bromance’ or even start a ‘romance’ during his time on Big Brother
‘Marcello is a freak, get him out’: ‘Marcello thinks he has a chance with Ali, he’s in for a shock’: ‘Marcello can go now, yuck’.
During Monday’s live launch, Ali described herself as a “late in life lesbian” as her partner cheered her on from the audience.
Meanwhile, Marcello teased that he was hoping for a ‘bromance’ or even a ‘romance’ during his time on Big Brother.
Earlier in the episode, fans were raving about the show’s drama, which started early this year when two housemates clashed within hours of entering the iconic house.
During the show’s opening, Lily and Sarah were seen bumping heads as tensions rose following the shocking twist.
After being told they weren’t real housemates and would be living in a depot, 11 participants were all lumped together in an incredibly uncomfortable environment.
In the episode clip, Lily, 20, could be seen making fun of Sarah’s posh accent, before Sarah, 27, burst into tears after being ‘overwhelmed’ by the big brother experience.

To is so hard’: ‘Who had Lily and Sarah on their bingo card for day 1?’.
Monday’s live launch saw fans criticize the show for ripping off Love Island, as they accused ITV of raiding the dating show’s rejection pile to create the line-up.
Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcomed the new contestants, all hoping to scoop the show’s huge £100,000 prize later this year.
But viewers at home noticed that many of this year’s cast shared many similarities with each other, with the vast majority being in their twenties and only one contestant over the age of forty.
As the new stars introduced themselves to each other and to the nation, fans pointed out that they were all ‘young and attractive with veneers’ and said they felt like ‘participants in Love Island’s love shop’.
They condemned ITV for ‘misunderstanding the purpose of the show’, arguing that what made Big Brother interesting was the fact that there were ‘people of all ages and backgrounds’.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Why did you sign up for this new series of Big Brother? I’ve been a fan for the longest time. I’ve wanted to do it since I was 11, but never had the confidence to do it. As I got older I was still obsessed with the show and as soon as it came back it was ‘this is my time to apply’.
