There have been loads of unexpected Big Brother friendships over the years, but none of them hold a candle to that of Celebrity Big Brother 2025 finalists Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa.
The Love Island 2017 star and the Dance Moms prodigy turned pop sensation quickly grew close after entering the house and basically spent most of their three-week stint stroking each other’s backs in bed.
Their close friendship had us tuning in every night to see what they were going to do next and now it seems Chris is going to be on our screens once again very soon.
He’s reportedly been signed up for the next series of Celebs Go Dating after Christine McGuinness pulled out.
'This is set to be a great coup for Celebs Go Dating,’ a source told The Sun.
'The agents will be eager to get to know the real truth about Chris and what he is looking for following his connection with JoJo.'
And following the news of his next TV move, Chris appeared to throw some playful shade JoJo’s way after her return to LA.
The reality star was filming a This Morning competition in Weston-super-Mare when he shared a picture of a cardboard cutout of JoJo’s face with the caption, ‘Can’t escape her’.
The pair previously appeared on the ITV daytime show following the CBB final and opened up about being ‘platonic soulmates’.
‘Erm, look. He is a great guy. It is platonic. We have a lot of fun together,’ JoJo said.
‘Life is life and I don't know any future of anything. But I'm really grateful for our dynamic and our bond that we have and whatever life does, life will do.’
Chris added, ‘You just deal with it, you allow for people to have opinions on things... We just had a great time. It was relentless from the minute you wake up and minute you go to bed.’
