Celebrity Big Brother in 'fix row' after Chris Hughes lets slip he knows about Katy Perry space mission - despite being in the house during lift off
Last week the pop star, 40, was fiercely criticised and brutally roasted for her role in Jeff Bezos ' all-female Blue Origin space flight.
As one of the passengers on the 11-minute excursion, Katy was especially derided for singing to fellow travellers during the journey and kissing the ground after they landed.
However while the space mission took place on April 14 when the celebrities were already in the Big Brother house without access to the outside world and social media, Chris seemed to know about the controversial event.
Speaking with his housemates, Chris appeared to catch Jack P Shepherd off guard as he asked him: 'If you had the opportunity to go to space like Katy Perry did would you?'
Clearly hearing the news for the first time Jack asked: 'Did she go to space? Why Katy Perry?'
Chris then replied: 'Just to give it a bit of f****g traction probably but it was the first all female descent to space.
'I wouldn't get on that not a chance. I would s**t myself. I'd be so worried I wasn't coming back'.
And fans were quick to spot the slip up as they took to Twitter to share their shock.
They penned: 'How TF did chris know katy perry went to space?? Didnt she go up on April 14th and he wemt in the house 7th April';
'watching big brother earlier and chris mentioned katy perry going to space and ive been wondering how tf he knew that';
'Wait, wait… Chris talking about Katy Perry going to space… that happened whilst #CBB was on! What's all that about! Sure it was announced in February she would be but it's a bit weird.';
'How does chris know Katy Perry went to space?'; 'Errrr how did Chris know Katy Perry & Co went to space? It happened whilst they were in the house?';
'Ehhh ? How did Chris know about Katy Perry going to space ??'; 'How did Chris know about Katy Perry going to space?'
Fans were quick to spot the slip up as they took to Twitter to share their shock
'How did Chris know Katy Perry went to space? He was in the house when it happened';
'How does Chris know Katy Perry went to space when they can't know stuff from the outside and that only happened like last week didn't it?!'
Yet while the mission happened during the celebrities time in the house their was coverage of the upcoming mission prior to the start of the series.
One fan wrote: 'Of course he knew about it. Every single person on the planet knew about it. Just because he's in the house doesn't mean he hasn't been watching the news or been on social media since literally the beginning of the year. Calm down people and use your brains.'
MailOnline have contacted ITV representatives for comment.
Meanwhile Katy Perry is now facing scrutiny on her tour, as she struggles to sell tickets for her US dates which kick off in Houston, Texas, in two weeks time.
The California Girls singer launched her Lifetimes Tour Wednesday in Mexico and will embark on a string of dates across North America in support of her seventh studio album, 143, which was widely panned by critics on its release in September.
As footage of Wednesday's show circulated online, social media users were merciless in making fun of her stilted, awkward choreography.
'Not the mom moves,' groaned one observer, while another joked: 'Maybe she should have spent less time in space and more time rehearsing lmao.'
One social media user compared her moves to 'my cat when she's cleaning herself,' another called her a 'straight up soulless vessel' and still another marveled that 'her fans have the audacity to say she's a better performer than gaga… byeee.'

Coronation Street star unexpectedly axed in shock exit as character 'killed off' without warning
A Coronation Street cast member announced their exit from the ITV soap and fans are convinced their character was killed off. A Coronation Street star has announced their departure from the ITV soap and it's already been broadcast. In a shocking turn of events, their character may have met their demise, after the actor's goodbye message left viewers convinced they were "brown bread". Logan Radcliffe returned to the ITV drama this week, receiving a visit from Carla Connor whilst behind bars. She was frantic for answers about what had happened to Becky Swain, the late wife of her girlfriend Lisa Swain. Lisa had been finding it difficult to progress and move forward, uncertain whether Becky was in danger prior to her death and why she died, whether by accident or otherwise, with Carla wanting to help, the Mirror reports. She went to see Logan who demanded £10,000 for any information he might have about Becky. He then accidentally revealed a name, Tia Wardley, though no context was provided. Regardless of who she is, it was enough to get Logan into hot water with a fellow inmate over a "mutual friend" he'd angered. He was told he had revealed too much, and with that his cell door was shut - making it obvious to viewers he was in serious danger. As the episode came to an end, actor Harry Lowbridge, who portrays Logan, went on Instagram to announce his departure from the programme - confirming his final scenes had now been shown. With that, fans are certain Logan is now dead. They suspect that whoever Tia was, genuine or not, he'd disclosed too much and an unknown individual had the cellmate punish him for running his mouth. Fans reckon it will be disclosed that Logan has been killed, murdered in his cell. The actor confirmed no additional scenes were planned when he shared on Instagram: "Farewell Logan. It's been a blast x." Following the post and the broadcast scenes, viewers took to social media to share their theories that the soap had just killed off a character without any prior warning. One viewer said: "So Logan is brown bread then?" Another viewer agreed, writing: "RIP Logan," as a third viewer stated; "So Logan gets killed off in prison then!" A further comment read; "Harry posting a goodbye? Has Logan been killed in prison?" The reactions continued pouring in with one fan penning: "Okay so when Logan is killed in prison then what?!" Whether Logan has died or remains alive is still to be disclosed despite the speculation, with viewers questioning if he might make a comeback at some stage and whether we'll discover who was behind the assault. Then there's the matter that Tia might or might not be connected to the plot. Why are individuals so frantic to keep the truth hidden as well? Everything will have to be revealed at some point.

MasterChef bosses 'in talks' with huge star for new host role alongside Grace Dent
Robert Walton, who is known as the 'godfather of hospitality', is reportedly in talks to co‑host MasterChef with Grace Dent after the shock axing of Gregg Wallace and John Torode Acclaimed hotelier and restaurateur Robert Walton is reportedly in the running to become one of the two new hosts of MasterChef, following the shock departures of Gregg Wallace and John Torode. The BBC is seeking a new male‑female presenting partnership for its flagship cooking competition. While Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt was initially considered the frontrunner, it has been reported that Walton, 69, is now 'in talks' for the role. Walton, often referred to as 'the godfather of hospitality', has decades of experience in the food and hotel industry and is a prominent supporter of emerging culinary talent. It comes after John Torode was spotted looking tired on stroll after wife Lisa broke her silence on his MasterChef exit. Sources suggest he could be paired with food critic Grace Dent, who recently co‑hosted Celebrity MasterChef during Wallace's suspension. 'Robert is in talks for being appointed the MasterChef judge position with Dent,' a source told Mail Online. "He is a wild card but the most qualified for the job. They like the idea of Robert and Grace together. "They are playing around with pairs, and they are looking for credibility. It would make a refreshing change to have someone who is an authority on food and hospitality, who is highly decorated and respected, judging for MasterChef.' Dent, known for her restaurant reviews and appearances on various food programmes, stepped in alongside other guest judges last year. Her experience in food writing and television could complement Walton's industry expertise if the BBC proceeds with the pairing. The search for new MasterChef hosts comes after the long‑time duo Wallace and Torode were dropped from the programme. The BBC has yet to confirm who will replace them. Viewers will tune in to two new hosts when the BBC show makes a comeback. And it's reported the new presenters of the BBC cooking show have already been decided. According to reports Matt Tebbutt, 51, could join forces with Great British Menu star Andi Oliver, 62, to become the new faces of the long-running contest. It's thought the pair could be part of a "dream line-up" on the series, with the duo featuring alongside Grace Dent for the celebrity version. A source recently told the Sun: "Matt is seen as a really safe pair of hands by the BBC. He has been in the frame for some time and is now being lined up for MasterChef." They added: "The BBC are keen to bring Andi Oliver on board too. She has been so popular as host of the Great British Menu." No final decision has been announced, and the BBC has not commented publicly on the speculation.

Love Island's Megan takes swipe at Shakira and Harry as she shares verdict on co-stars
Megan Forte Clarke, who was dumped from the villa by the public alongside Conor Phillips this week, has shared her thoughts on the remaining couples on Love Island Former Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke has shared her thoughts on the couples still in the villa following her departure. She was dumped in a public vote alongside Conor Phillips this week, just days ahead of the live final. Megan, 24, had originally been voted out of the villa earlier in the series but she recently returned. She then rekindled a romance with co-star Conor, 25, but they received the least votes in the latest poll and their exits aired last night. After leaving the villa for a second time, Megan gave her opinion on the remaining couples, including teasing that she didn't expect one of them to still be together. It comes after Top Gear host admitted he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson as he made a bold statement. READ MORE: Shaughna Phillips reveals why Love Island's top couple won't last – and it makes sense Speaking to ITV, Megan said that it was a "shock" to see Harry Cooksley, 30, and Shakira Khan, 22, together. They are now coupled up once again after having been in a long-running love triangle with now-dumped Helena Ford, 29. Last week, shortly after Megan returned to the villa, Helena ended things with Harry, bringing the love triangle to a close too. In the same episode, he told Shakira that he was either leaving with her or without her, and he went on to choose her in the last recoupling. Asked if any couples had changed in the time between her first exit and her return, Megan said: "I don't think any couple has changed. I think Harry and Shakira being together was a shock for me but everyone is really genuine." Further sharing her opinion, Megan teased that she thinks the couples in the villa have potential for a long-term relationship. She said: "I definitely think all the other couples have long term potential, it all just makes sense." Megan however revealed that there's one couple in particular that she hopes wins Love Island. She named Yasmin Pettet, 24, and Jamie Rhodes, 26, as her choice as winners ahead of this series' live final taking place next week. Asked who she's rooting for on the show, Megan said following her departure this week: "I'm really rooting for Yasmin and Jamie this time round." Further discussing the couple, she added: "They balance each other out perfectly." Megan also revealed that she was feeling "much better" about leaving the villa with Conor compared to her first exit. She said: "I left on really good terms." She continued by saying: "It was a nice way to leave and I'm very happy." She added: "I took a big risk coming back because I could have easily been pied but I have gone out with what I came in for - everything happens for a reason." The islander also said that it was a "completely different experience". Megan said: "[It was] a lot more relaxing and a lot more lovey dovey. It was I think a completely different experience the second time round and it was a different villa to the first time when everyone was wife swapping." Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
