Ryan and Hughie got together last year
 

It is all over Ryan's twitter

messy af

Looking at his twitter I can believe what he's saying that it was just a coincidence and the producers didn't know when they selected them, I know it's big coincidence but given they were playing on the whole 'people having connections' thing I think they'd have included that as being one of them if they'd known. Makes me groan a bit that they obviously covered it up in the show's edit after the fact but I don't think it's that much of a big deal tbh. I don't think there's anything 'set up' about it.

Can you post some receipts

Mess @ Ryan desperately trying to stay on good terms with them

He panicked so much once he realised he'd caused a stir

Then why didnt they mention it in the house?

I'm not buying all of this. BB is not one to ignore some potential links to the HMs and surely Ryan and Hughie would have talked about dating in the first few hours of being there. I can't see HMs like Natalie keeping quiet about this either especially since none of it made the highlights and accusations of unfair advantages can be thrown about as it was portrayed as a raw romance...

I mean maybe they did and producers just cut it out...

That's what I mean, I imagine they will have mentioned it but BB prods will have covered that up in the edit

They never showed that Laura and Marco knew each other before either did they? Or not until other people realised at least?

I believe him. He isn't trying to call the show fixed or anything.

This is BB we are talking about

Clearly they were both told to hide it

Most of them probably know each other anyway. The majority of them are cut from the same cloth chomping at the bit to be famous/be noticed.

People are being stoned to death!!! TO DEATH!

But I couldn't care less about their showmance, so whatever. It was trash like Ryan's eviction outfit.

That's true as well, I mean one of the ways they recruit is through the Star Now website so they're targeting a circuit where many of the same people will come into contact from time to time.

Meh doesn't really mean anything

It amazes me that anybody would want to date Ryan once let alone twice

I find it extremely likely that Ryan and Hughie mentioned being together more than once but it was cut out because it wouldn't fit with the narrative of Ryan getting something new in his life, or the narrative of Hughie exploring his bisexuality

The hottest couple since Rylan and Dan
