EXCLUSIVE Chris Hughes packs on the PDA with girlfriend JoJo Siwa as he gushes he's 'totally in love' with her while they head to a couples' massage in LA
The couple have gripped fans with their surprise relationship since meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house, with Chris admitting over the weekend he's 'obsessed' with her.
And after flying across the Atlantic to reunite with JoJo, 22, Chris, 32, couldn't hide his love for her, as they held hands after heading to the The NOW Massage parlour together.
The loved-up pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, with Chris gushing that he's 'in love' with JoJo, before calling her his 'princess.'
He said: 'I am really in love with this one.'
Grilled on his recent admission that he's already thought about marrying JoJo, Chris added: 'One day, I am a proper family man so one day! Yeah 100% that's the fairytale right? She is my princess, she is a good one.'
JoJo also reflected on the recent release of her cover of Kim Carnes' 1981 hit Bette Davis Eyes, with fans sending the track to number two in the UK iTunes chart.
She said: 'I've been scared of doing covers for about six years, and it's my first one in a long time.
'I think that song did fit my voice fairly well the way the original singer sang it, and if one falls in my lap the way that one did I would do it again! But covers are scary.'
Ever the supportive partner, Chris added: 'Keep streaming it, that's what I say, it was a beautiful cover.'
Following her decision to postpone her US tour, JoJo also hinted that there would be an update for fans coming later this week, having previously hinted that she was planning a series of shows in Europe.
After finally confirming his relationship with JoJo in June, Chris broke his silence on the unexpected romance over the weekend, as he admitted he is 'obsessed' with her.
It certainly wasn't a showbiz relationship anyone saw coming, and when the former Love Island star and the former Dance Moms star met, JoJo was in a relationship with her ex partner Kath Ebbs.
Confirming on CBB that she identifies as queer, she has openly discussed how Chris is her first relationship with a man.

Speaking to The Sun 's Fabulous Magazine, Chris hit back at accusations their relationship is fake, as he admitted: 'I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before. But it doesn't bother me – as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine.'
He revealed even he was surprised by the turn of events, and after a string of public relationships, he began to wonder whether there was anyone out there for him.
He explained: 'Then meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person... I'm obsessed with her. I'd do anything for her.'
The star confessed the 10-year age gap doesn't phase him as you can't help who you fall in love with.
And while it has only been a matter of months Chris can already see the relationship going the full way and believes it is forever.
Discussing the prospect of marriage after confessing they both say 'I love you' every day, he hinted: 'I do see a forever here... I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day.'
He also revealed they both want children and he has received the seal of approval from her family after joining them on their Orlando holiday in May.
Chris joined JoJo for her birthday trip alongside her parents Jessalynn and Tom and her brother Jayden and his fiancée Abby.
Last week, JoJo addressed rumours she could be pregnant after one of her videos went viral on TikTok

The star is already been invited as JoJo's plus one to the family wedding next year as the couple continue to go from strength to strength, but he admitted the pair don't plan on moving in just yet and are prepared to carry on long distance.
And Chris isn't the first one to mention marriage after JoJo previously admitted they had discussed putting a ring on it.
Last week, JoJo addressed rumours she could be pregnant after one of her videos went viral on TikTok.
On Wednesday, she asked her fans to play the game '2 truths & a lie' - before she read out three statements, one being a lie and the other two being truthful.
She then said: '1. I've never smoked a [cigarette] 2. I'm pregnant 3. This song comes out on Spotify Friday.'
JoJo was playing into online speculation that she could be expecting after Chris gently rubbed his finger over her tummy during a recent TikTok video.
Fans wrote things like, 'Pregnancy craving???' as she tucked into a plate of red food.
Another wrote: 'When the pregnancy craving is red 40,' and another penned, 'r u pregnant?'
After JoJo shared the 'two truths and a lie' video, social media users jumped to the comments to choose which option was the lie, while others applauded JoJo for nonchalantly poking fun at the pregnancy speculation.
A fan typed, 'Everyone's saying it's 1 or 3, meaning everyone thinks she's pregnant,' and another added, 'You Gonna be a Dance mom.'
'Not you addressing the pregnancy rumors in the most hilarious fashion,' one shared, and another penned, 'Joelle not u egging on the pregnant rumors. Youre too funny.'
Others replied to the comment and said, 'She's brilliant smiling her way through life is the key' and 'She's doing it in style and hitting the silly rumours out of the park.'

Hunter Biden curses out George Clooney for pushing dad Joe out of race: ‘Not a f---ing actor'
Scandal-plagued former first son Hunter Biden ripped into actor George Clooney in a foul-mouthed tirade aired Monday. The 55-year-old son of former President Joe Biden went on an expletive-filled rant against the Hollywood megastar in an interview with Andrew Callaghan, an independent journalist and former host of the podcast, All Gas No Brakes. He railed against the Goodnight, and Good Luck auteur's demand that Joe Biden drop out of the 2024 presidential race, which the younger Biden and others in the family's inner circle have made clear they believe is to blame for the Democratic Party's loss to Donald Trump. But he also took aim at Clooney's acting chops, suggesting hurt feelings were at play. 'F*** you. What do you have to do with f***ing anything? Hunter Biden seethed about the ER star. 'Why do I have to f***ing listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his f***ing life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the fucking New York Times to undermine the president at a time in which, by the way, what do people care about the most?' Biden claimed that the division within the Democratic Party led to Republicans having an insurmountable advantage ahead of November. He also claimed that the disastrous performance of his father at his one and only debate with Trump was due to his father taking Ambien in order to sleep on foreign trips. "I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world, basically mileage that he could have flown around the world three times, he's 81 years old, he's tired as s---, they give him Ambien to be able to sleep, he's gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights," Hunter told Callaghan, adding: '[I]t feeds into every f***ing story that anybody wants to tell." Of Clooney's acting, he said of the From Dusk Till Dawn star: "I agree with Quentin Tarantino. F***ing George Clooney is not a f***ing actor. He is f***ing like… I don't know what he is. He's a brand.' Biden's rant was nearly duplicated in a second podcast appearance — this time, a buttoned-up conversation with Jaime Harrison, former chair of the Democratic Party. Even here, Biden told the At Our Table host he didn't give a 's***' about Clooney's political opinions. 'We lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party,' he said during that appearance. 'That's my position. We had the advantage of incumbency, we had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down.' His father's performance at a June presidential debate with Donald Trump alarmed voters on all sides of the political spectrum and drew immediate fears from Democrats that the party was preparing to hand the election over to Republicans. Clooney was a prominent part of that avalanche, penning an op-ed for the New York Times titled, 'I Love Joe Biden, But We Need a New Nominee'. Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau, a former speechwriter for Barack Obama, said that internal polling conducted by the Biden campaign showed the former president losing by a landslide were he to remain in the race. The elder Biden dropped out of the race a month later, after an agonizing few weeks of calls for him to step down by backbencher Democrats and the less-than-delicate hinting from the likes of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others seemingly urging the same. Kamala Harris, his vice president and running mate, ascended to the top of the ticked after party officials shot down the idea of a last-minute primary election playing out at the Democratic National Convention. Democrats had already blown their own chance to hold a real primary earlier in the year. Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was drafted as her running mate after a short candidate search. Hunter Biden's own shenanigans were a major weight around his father's neck for the entirety of 2024. The recovering crack addict's prosecution on tax and gun charges led to speculation that Joe Biden would pardon his son, which he denied — then did anyway. Many of the Democratic president's detractors argued that Hunter's treatment by law enforcement was far lighter than others accused of the same crimes, including drug offenses for which he was never charged, would have faced. According to 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, Joe Biden was mentally preoccupied with his son's federal gun trial, and the possibility of Hunter going to prison, at the height of election campaigning last summer. Hunter was convicted on three federal gun charges for unlawfully purchasing and possessing a firearm in 2018 while battling substance use disorder. Despite claiming he would not pardon Hunter if found guilty, Joe Biden granted his son a full pardon shortly before leaving office. He became a de facto senior adviser to his father's re-election campaign early in the year, which according to news reports complicated efforts by the president's allies to communicate with him directly as his son shielded him from criticism.

Pee-wee's bike is at the Alamo, but not where you think
It took 40 years, but Pee-wee's bike is now at the Alamo. Just not the basement. The Alamo announced last week it had acquired and would display the iconic bike from the 1985 Tim Burton film, 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure.' The San Antonio landmark plays a key role in the film chronicling Pee-wee Herman 's search for his stolen bicycle when a devious fortuneteller tells him the bike is located in the Alamo's basement. Pee-wee, played by the late Paul Reubens, learns the Alamo doesn't have a basement, but hasn't stopped tourists from tongue-in-cheek inquiries. 'It's the most common question our guest services team hears is, 'Where is the basement at the Alamo?'' said Jonathan Huhn, senior communications director for the Alamo Trust, Inc., the nonprofit organization that oversees the Alamo's operations. 'It's an iconic piece of Alamo pop-culture history.' The red-and-white bike — or as Pee-wee calls it in the movie, 'the best bike in the whole world" — is adorned with streamers on the handlebars and a lion emblem at the front. Huhn said it was acquired from an auction in Los Angeles. The bike will serve as a centerpiece in the Mays Family Legacy Gallery, which examines the the Alamo's cultural impact, part of a new visitor center and museum slated to open in fall 2027. It will join other pop culture items including memorabilia from the 1960 movie about the Alamo that starred John Wayne. 'It's really a pop culture bridge" that will bring people to learn about the Alamo's history, Huhn said. But before then, the bike will go on display for a limited time at the Ralston Family Collections Center. The Alamo also plans to host a free public screening of 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' in Plaza de Valero. More details about dates for the display and the screening will be released later. Unlike the Alamo, the building where Pee-wee's bike will eventually be located does have a basement. But, before you ask, that's not where the bike will be.

Kids TV star admits he's ‘struggling to pay rent' after being underpaid for huge hit shows
DRAKE Bell has admitted he's "struggling to pay rent" after being underpaid for his huge hit shows. Kids TV star Drake, 39, opened up about his financial struggles in a new interview, claiming his work with Nickelodeon hasn't provided the long-term security many people assume. 5 The actor shot to fame on The Amanda Show and later became a household name thanks to Drake & Josh, which ran for three years and remains hugely popular in reruns. But despite the show's lasting success, Drake says he's far from wealthy - and is still worried about how to pay the bills. Appearing on The Unplanned Podcast, he said public assumptions about his wealth couldn't be further from the truth. He said: 'That's the perception of the world, it's always been this way. It's like, you know, 'Oh, you made a Folgers Coffee commercial. You must live in a mansion in Hollywood. Like, I saw you on TV. You're rich.' 'That's far from the case. And especially, which is the bummer for most of us on Nickelodeon, we don't get residuals for our shows.' Drake said that unlike the contracts seen by many adult stars, his Nickelodeon deals involved one-off payments. This means he doesn't earn anything when his shows air today - even as they continue to reach new audiences via streaming and syndication. He said: "If I had a fair contract, I'd be seeing money from that work now." He pointed to the cast of Friends as an example of how different things could've looked. Drake added: 'The Friends cast at the peak was making a million dollars an episode. You make 13 episodes that year, you make $13,000,000. You make 20 episodes that year, you make $20,000,000, right? Drake Bell tells Today Show kept his 'child sex abuse a secret' because he was afraid of the reaction 'But right now, each cast member of Friends just in syndication alone is making over $20,000,000 a year, and they're not filming a show every week. "They're not going to work, but they're playing their show and they're using their likeness and they're doing all this, so they get paid for it.' Even as his own show lands in the Netflix top 10, Drake says he's figuring out how to cover rent, continuing: 'Netflix just bought it, it's top 10 on Netflix, and I gotta figure out how to pay my rent this month." 'And some fat cat with a cigar is just sitting up at the top of Viacom just going [chuckles]. What do you call it? It's just like getting high on child labor.' He added that many people don't realise how little control young performers have behind the scenes: 'People don't understand how the business works, the business side of this. They just see what the perception is on Instagram and social media and all the glitz and the glamour of Hollywood. 'We're putting in all of this work. This corporation is making billions with a 'B' off of us, and we're being compensated for the week of work, cool, but that's it. 'And forever, in perpetuity, it literally says in the contract, across universes and galaxies and planets.' Drake also alleged that he experienced sexual abuse while working on set, saying the challenges he's faced as an adult are the result of deep-rooted issues within the industry. He said: 'It's a lot of evil, corrupt people. That's the only thing, that is the answer. There's no other answer. 'Do everything that they do to us mentally and emotionally, and then throw us to the wolves. And we're like, okay, cool. I got rent this month. There are three channels doing marathons.' Drake's finances aren't the only part of his past under scrutiny. In 2021, he was sentenced to two years' probation and 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to child endangerment involving a teenage fan. The case involved a girl who met Drake online when she was 12 and later attended one of his shows in Ohio at 15. In court, she accused him of grooming her from an early age and of sexually abusing her. However, Drake wasn't charged with any sexual offences. Speaking about the case last year, he denied any abuse and said he only pleaded guilty because he was in no position to fight a legal battle. 'I responded on some DMs and was incredibly irresponsible and got myself into conversations that I shouldn't have had,' He said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast: "I responded on some DMs and was incredibly irresponsible and got myself into conversations that I shouldn't have had. 'I ended up finding out that I was talking to someone that I shouldn't have been talking to, and it snowballed into these allegations that were not true, and it just turned into this big thing.' Drake said he pleaded guilty because he had just become a father and couldn't afford a drawn-out trial. He claimed: '[I] ended up pleading guilty, because financially I was just devastated, and I had just had a son and I didn't want to put my family through all of this anymore. 'I ended up going through the process the way that I did. Very regretful.' He said he wasn't aware of the girl's age when they first interacted online, and once he found out, he claims he ended communication. 'I was doing everything I could to kind of keep my distance,' he said. Drake also insisted that some of the most serious claims were investigated and found to be untrue. He said: 'A lot of the things she said about sending inappropriate pictures and things like this, it was able to be investigated and show that none of that existed.' Still, he admitted fault for having the conversations in the first place, saying: 'I did have those conversations and I took responsibility for that.' Reflecting on his past decisions, Drake said: 'There's just so much that I've had to deal with, and through that, like I said, not having the tools or not knowing how to process things, I made a lot of decisions in my life that I shouldn't have made and hurt a lot of people. 'But now, where I am in my life now, I think that I'm finally at a place where I can process and deal with this through therapy that I've been through and actively going through, unearthing all of these things and being able to face them head on for really the first time in my life.' 5 5 5 5
