Fans of Celebrity Big Brother have questioned the connection between Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa following their growing bond despite their age gap. The former Love Island contestant, 32, and the reality TV star, 21, have became close friends in the ITV house.
However, despite JoJo having a partner on the outside, some have questioned their friendship. And now, in a hot tub scene shown on Saturday’s livestream of the show, fans saw the duo take a soak in the garden together.
They looked cosy in the tub as JoJo appeared to touch horse racing pundit Chris’ thigh before he gave her a foot rub. And it didn’t take fans long to share their thoughts of the interaction online.
Taking to Twitter/X, one user wrote: “Chris and JoJo’s chemistry in the hot tub is on fire.”
Another added: “‘Everyone’s cleared out of the hot tub, and now Chris is giving JoJo a foot massage’.; ‘It’s just Chris and JoJo in the hot tub now, he’s giving her a leg massage…’; ‘Ouhhh they went there omggg.”
Their bond raised eyebrows on Friday’s edition of the show when Chris seemed to offer to be the father of JoJo’s kids in the future. He old her he has “good swimmers” in a bizarre conversation.
Chris’ offer came after a group task in the famous house which saw the remaining celebrities dress up as cats. Before Chris’ admission, JoJo had been engaged in a conversation with Donna Preston. She told her fellow housemate she would love nothing more than to take her children on holiday.
He also told her he would kiss her if he had the chance – before he was abruptly shot down by JoJo. In scenes shown on Late & Live, Chris pretended to peck his pal’s lips, but actually touched her with his finger and kissed her forehead instead.
Chris told her he “probably would actually” kiss her, to which she responded: “I know,” chuckling before adding: “Sucks to be you.”
“Nah, just saying I probably would, that’s all,” Chris reiterated. “Just a compliment, that’s all.”
Their friendship has caused viewers to share questions online. One user wrote: “Chris’ behaviour with Jojo is making me SO uncomfortable #CBB #CBBUK.” Another added: “i’ve grown to love jojo and her friendship with chris but some of the things that’s happened between them is not normal in a friendship imo. #cbb”
Earlier in the week Chris’ brother also appeared on the spin-off show. He hit back at criticism of the pair’s friendship and claimed they simply have the ‘same energy’. He then explained why they became inseparable since the show started earlier this month.
He said: “I believe the friendship between Chris and JoJo is based on the fact they have similar energy and have obviously bonded really well as a friendship.”
