In what was the most unexpected friendship to emerge from Celebrity Big Brother<\/a>, Chris Hughes<\/a> has now declared JoJo Siwa<\/a> to be his \u2018soulmate\u2019.<\/p>\n

Over the past few weeks the Dance Moms star, 21, has generated plenty of attention after growing close to fellow housemate Chris, 32.<\/p>\n

During their time on the show the pair quickly hit it off and spent much of their time in the house together.<\/p>\n

They then became the subject of much speculation<\/a> they were more than friends, after being filmed cuddling and giving each other back rubs.<\/p>\n

Although their actions raised eyebrows, some shut down claims they were more than friends however in the past few days they\u2019ve again come under the spotlight after JoJo dumped her partner Kath Ebbs at the show\u2019s wrap party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today they appeared on This Morning together<\/a>, where Chris went on to speak about their \u2018strong friendship\u2019. Here\u2019s everything we know about JoJo and Chris\u2019 close bond that developed just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

On Monday April 7, Celebrity Big Brother hit screens again, with a string of stars signing up to cut themselves off from the world for a few weeks.<\/p>\n

They included Hollywood star Mickey Rourke, talk show host Trisha Goddard, drag queen Danny Beard and EastEnders\u2019 Patsy Palmer, as well as JoJo and Chris.<\/p>\n

Two of the youngest in the house, they quickly hit it off.<\/p>\n

However, it was after Chris told off Mickey<\/a> for directing a homophobic comment towards JoJo<\/a> that they appeared to become close.<\/p>\n

On their first day in the house Mickey told JoJo: \u2018If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.\u2019 He then threatened to tie her up and \u2018vote the lesbian out real quick\u2019 before making the offensive homophobic comment.<\/p>\n

Calling Mickey out, Chris told the actor he \u2018can\u2019t say that\u2019, before comforting JoJo, who told him after: \u2018What I felt just then was you had my back when I\u2019ve known you for 24 hours and you have no reason to have my back.\u2019<\/p>\n

Bonding while breaking the rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After becoming inseparable, JoJo and Chris were seen sharing many cuddly moments and late-night whisper sessions.<\/p>\n

However, during their first week in the house they were reprimanded by Big Brother for \u2018breaking the rules\u2019 after she wrote a message on his hand one night. They were then made to speak to each other through megaphones.<\/p>\n

While it was initially believed they might have been discussing nominations, JoJo later revealed the message had been in reference to \u2018her sexuality\u2019<\/a> and she\u2019d been discussing her gender identity with Chris.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s something that I\u2019m not ready necessarily to be open about or upfront about but it has to do with gender and how do I feel,\u2019 she told Big Brother before explained that she suspected she might identify as non-binary.<\/p>\n

Facing \u2018gameplayer\u2019 accusations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chris and JoJo\u2019s friendship came under the microscope in the house, with some of their fellow housemates claiming it was all for show.<\/p>\n

Before he was sent packing Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson accused them of \u2018playing a game\u2019.<\/p>\n

The next day Ella declared: \u2018I just feel, and this is my personal opinion, that there are social climbers in this industry, and I think he would benefit a hell of a lot.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chris later went on to take aim at Ella<\/a>, accusing her of being \u2018jealous\u2019 of his and JoJo\u2019s \u2018matching energies\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018She isn\u2019t sweet on JoJo so there might be a jealously thing there I don\u2019t know, she likes to have her two pence worth and if she\u2019s out of a conversation she wants to be in it,\u2019 he said in the diary room.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Celebrity\t<\/div>

However, he went on to break down while speaking to Big Brother in the diary room, sharing: \u2018I\u2019m literally just in here being me, living. I hate toxic stuff in life like I hate environments. It just brings you down.<\/p>\n

\u2018You can feel when energy shifts and it\u2019s not nice. I don\u2019t want to be emotional and sad, but you can\u2019t help it sometimes. People have made me feel like I can\u2019t have a friendship with JoJo. Or feel like I have to justify a friendship with JoJo \u2013 because we get on and we have fun. I\u2019m actually really sad.\u2019<\/p>\n

During one episode Chris confessed that he would kiss JoJo if he had the chance, to which she joked \u2018sucks to be you!\u2019<\/p>\n

Many viewers struggled to believe their relationship was solely platonic, with some accusing JoJo of cheating on her partner Kath Ebbs.<\/p>\n

Kindred souls acting catty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chris and JoJo did however spark strong backlash from viewers during one episode.<\/p>\n

In a task given by Big Brother, the celebrity housemates had to pretend to be cats for the day, providing litter trays in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

However, the pair did actually use them and urinated in the trays<\/a>, covering up the mess with their hands in actions viewers labelled \u2018disgusting\u2019.<\/p>\n

Who is Chris\u2019 ex-girlfriend?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chris rose to fame on the 2017, where he met and started dating Olivia Attwood, but they split up about a year later.<\/p>\n

However ahead of him entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, Olivia apparently warned Ella <\/a>that he \u2018comes into things with a game plan\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018There are two sides to every story, but I guess my side, I told Ella when I was on \u2018TOWIE\u2019, just to give some context of the situation of what she knows,\u2019 she revealed.<\/p>\n

\u2018Some people, very few people, go on reality TV and they are 100 per cent themselves \u2013 the good, the bad, the ugly \u2013 they are the same on or off camera.<\/p>\n

\u2018Other people, they go on reality TV, they are one person and when you experience them off camera, you literally, it\u2019s like shapeshifters\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n

Who was JoJo dating when she went into the house?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ahead of entering the Celebrity Big Brother house JoJo was dating Australian actor, writer, presenter and content creator Kath<\/a>, 27.<\/p>\n

The couple went public in January this year, with JoJo saying she was \u2018so happy\u2019 and in a \u2018very mature relationship\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s taught me so much about life. It\u2019s taught me so much about love and respect, and it\u2019s a beautiful thing,\u2019 she told People.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn\u2019t even know what to say the biggest is \u2018cause just everything is so different and special.\u2019<\/p>\n

JoJo came out as pansexual in 2021 but has described herself as gay in recent interviews.<\/p>\n

However, during her time in the house, she revealed she was no longer sure that she identified as a lesbian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Danny, she said: \u2018I feel so queer. I\u2019ve never \u2013 I think I\u2019ve always told myself, I\u2019m a lesbian. I think you \u2013 I think being here \u2013 I\u2019ve realised I am not a lesbian, I\u2019m queer.\u2019<\/p>\n
