Celebrity Big Brother's Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa moment sparks outrage among fans
Celebrity Big Brother fans have been left divided over Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa's 'relationship'.
Celebrity Big Brother fans wasn't no time sharing their reaction after unseen livestream footage revealed an intimate moment between Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa in the show's hot tub retreat.
While ITV viewers didn't witness the scene during regular broadcasts, sharp-eyed fans watching the 24/7 feed spotted Chris, 32, and JoJo, 21, appearing particularly close as they luxuriated in the bubbles with a few housemates.
This close interaction follows earlier footage showing the duo sharing another private moment. In the recent clip, Love Island star Chris tenderly drapes his arm around JoJo and plants two kisses on her forehead as she leans comfortably against him - a gesture that swiftly found its way onto social media - but not everyone is happy.
Taking to X and Reddit to voice their opinions on the pair's connection, viewers didn't mince words.
"I don't care what anyone says anymore! ! ! ! Chris and JoJo's relationship and how they act with one another is so inappropriate. Imagine JoJo's girlfriend watching this. She's not going to be okay with this behaviour," one vented.
Another fan asserted: "Chris knows exactly what he's doing and it's just f***ing weird at this point."
Someone else echoed: "What I don't understand is how the rest of the housemates are not deeply uncomfortable with that behaviour. Chris kissing JoJo on the forehead and her basically being on top of him in the hottub. I know that would really p**s me off."
The brewing romance and striking chemistry between reality stars JoJo and Chris has become the talk of the town, particularly after eagle-eyed viewers noticed JoJo's intimate gesture of rubbing Chris' leg during a steamy hot tub moment, fuelling further gossip about their connection.
The plot thickens as JoJo, who is romantically linked to non-binary performer Kath Ebbs, recently divulged details about her journey of self-discovery, saying in a deep-dive chat with Drag Race favourite Danny Beard: "I feel so queer. I've never - I think I've always told myself, I'm a lesbian. I think being here- I've realised I am not a lesbian, I'm queer."
JoJo went on with evident excitement: "I think that's really cool, I'm switching letters! I've dropped the L and I've gone to the Q baby! That's what I love about sexuality."
Teasingly, Danny replied with humour, affirming: "And you know what British people love more than anything? To queue!"
Previously identifying as pansexual back in 2021 before later self-labelling as gay, JoJo has been vocal about her sexual orientation.
On Paul C Brunson's insightful podcast We Need To Talk, she mused prior to her Big Brother adventure: "One I'm still on for sure. I never thought twice about anything."
With her developing sense of identity and the intricate dynamic with Chris in the spotlight, some fans are left bewildered, reports the Mirror.
During their stint in the series, the duo have often faced criticism from their fellow contestants for allegedly keeping to themselves and forming an exclusive clique.
When Daley Thompson left the show, he hinted that the close relationship some contestants have might be a strategic play for more screen time. Ella Rae Wise, another evictee, took it a step further by alleging Chris was getting close to the Dance Moms star to leverage her huge social media following of over 80 million.
Chris responded with visible emotion. In a tearful Diary Room confession, he expressed his weariness: "I'm exhausted in this house to be honest. I think I'm too normal and lead a stress-free life. If people have things to say just say it and air it."
He continued: "I hate toxic stuff in life. I hate toxic energy. It just brings you down. You can feel when energy shifts and it's just not nice. I don't want to be emotional and sad but sometimes you just can't help it."
