New Ultimate Big Brother housemate Michelle Bass knew Josie Gibson would do a runner from Ultimate Big Brother to be with John James Parton.
Michelle, 29, realised there was nothing keeping Josie, 25, inside the Big Brother house after she'd won BB11.
'Why would she stay?' Michelle asked Brian Dowling and Chantelle Houghton after joining the UBB contestants.
'She's won it. She's done her time. What incentive is there?'
Michelle believes that Josie and John James' romance is genuine, despite others expressing doubts about the Aussie hunk's sincerity.
'People say it's not a real relationship because it's been made in the Big Brother house,' Michelle told Chantelle.
'That's a load of bullshit. It's still a real relationship.'
Michelle and Stuart Wilson were rumoured to be the first BB couple to go all the way on the show - in the 5th series - after making a tent under the dining table and discarding their microphones.
They were a couple for a year after the series but split in 2005.
