They might have only been dating since February this year, but Love Island star Chris Hughes has revealed his biggest ambition, and it involves his girlfriend, Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson. The reality TV star has opened up about their relationship, telling how he would love to wed his girlfriend.
Speaking to the Racing Post, Chris said, "I want to get married. That’s something I’m looking forward to doing one day. When I’m travelling around, exploring new places, with my other half not having a clue where we’re going. Being lost in a foreign country with my girlfriend makes me feel free and is when I’m at my happiest."
He also went on to reveal his career plans saying, "I want to continue to develop my presenting skills, as I really enjoy television presenting and I want to do a lot more of it as my career progresses".
Earlier this year, there were many rumours that the pair were dating however, Jesy initially denied them saying they were just friends. However, it wasn't long before the couple decided to confirm their relationship by going Instagram official.
