Big Brother runner-up Marcello Spooks has revealed he’s already reunited with his close pal Junior Andre, after the budding rapper urged his fans to vote for him.
The youth worker, 34, finished in second place during Friday’s final behind winner Ali Bromley, and had previously worked with Junior on his budding music career.
Speaking to MailOnline about his time on the ITV show, Marcello said that Junior ‘is the best thing he’s gained’ throughout his music career, with the son of Peter Andre previously posting on social media, asking his followers to vote for him.
He said: ‘I’ve seen him already! He came over to my house, spent the night with me, Junior is my brother man for life, I will always say out of everything I’ve done in music, he’s the best thing I’ve ever gained from doing that.
‘He’s my little brother, I love him to bits.’

Marcello has previously worked with Junior on his budding music career, and even appeared in one of his Instagram snaps in 2022.
Junior, who is the son of model Katie Price and singer Peter Andre, simply captioned the post: ‘My bro.’
His website also shares 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 upon a particular relationship in which ‘even the negatives became positive’.
Marcello also opened up about the horrific trolling he’s faced since leaving the Big Brother house, revealing on Instagram on Monday that he’s received ‘death threats,’ after being accused of being ‘a misogynist and homophobic.’
Asked about his decision to speak out on the abuse, Marcello, who clashed with fellow housemate Ali on several occasions, said that his views ‘are based fundamentally on love.’
He said: ‘I just wanted to make it past week one, never mind come runner up, so I think the love that I’ve received has been mental, so I’ve never had that in my life and so many messages.
‘But amongst the messages there is a lot of negativity and not that it upsets me about, I just feel like sometimes people really got me confused for no reason, because I really do show love to everyone and what not.

‘I don’t judge anyone. I never even look at people to say a bad thing about them, I give everyone their space and platform to be themselves and embrace them on that standard.
‘I just wanted to clear the air because there’s a lot of things going around about me and a lot of names, and I just felt like I wanted people to know that where I do stand and my views on people and life are based fundamentally on love.
‘So, yeah, i’s very strange coming out, I’m still processing it all, to come runner up as well. I must have been doing something right in there and I guess I’m just trying to figure out what right I did because I don’t know yet.’
After his song True Colours landed a play in the Big Brother house as a reward for his secret mission, Marcello said that’s already got another track in the works.
He added that he’s already ‘halfway through’ rewatching the series, having reached the show’s much-publicised Halloween week.
