Now, in a new interview, JoJo, 22, has revealed the extent of her feelings for Chris, 32.
The Dance Moms star said she is "shocked" at how close the pair have them have become in such a short amount of time.
Speaking to Billboard, JoJo said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for.
"I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing.
"You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell."
LOVED-UP TRIP
JoJo's interview comes fresh from a cosy weekend she spent with Chris and his family in the Cotswolds.
The YouTuber shared their time together on social media, which included a series of loved-up snaps with the Love Island hunk.
In one of the snaps, Chris could be seen picking his girlfriend up and carrying her, whilst in another they held hands.
JoJo described holding her boyfriend's hand as "the one thing that can make everything better".
She also shared pictures of the pair enjoying breakfast and cups of tea as she relaxed at Chris' family home.
MISSING HER MAN
JoJo, who fell for Chris in the Celebrity Big Brother house, said she struggled to go back to normal life without Chris when she returned to the US for a month.
But now the American star, who hails from Nebraska, plans to spend more time in the UK.
The couple also spent time together when JoJo was in England for her tour.
The happy couple drove fans wild with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok when the pair were seen hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other.

And at her recent London gigs she changed the lyrics of Bette Davis Eyes to ' Chris Hughes' eyes' as he looked on, giddy and red-faced at a music venue in Shoreditch.
The two have set tongues wagging ever since getting close while competing on this year's series of Celebrity Big Brother.
However, they have been since the show ended.

JoJo Siwa hits back after her idol Miley Cyrus caused outrage with post about her sexuality and controversial romance with Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa has responded to Miley Cyrus ' post about her romance with Chris Hughes, admitting that the comment was not 'what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week.' Miley ignited outrage earlier this week after she joked about JoJo's sexuality amid the dancer's newfound relationship with Love Island star Chris. The Party in the USA singer parked backlash after she poked fun at 22-year-old JoJo's romance with Chris, 32, while appearing in a video message shared at World Pride over the weekend. Speaking from inside a closet, Miley said: 'Oh, my God, I haven't been in here since sixth grade! Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you,' she continued. 'It shouldn't be a month - it should be a year; it should be infinite.' Wrapping up the video, Miley added with a laugh: 'I'm going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.' JoJo has now insisted that it is 'all love' between herself and her idol Miley but admits that hearing judgement from 'someone you love, and look up to can be very hard.' Sharing photos of herself as a child when she had a Miley-themed birthday party, alongside snaps with the popstar herself, JoJo wrote a passionate message. 'I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on…' She added that she had taken some time to process Miley's words, telling fans: 'I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts…. I don't believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha.' 'Not what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week. I messaged miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said 'All love. Always . ❤️❤️❤️.' 'Honestly the most beautiful thing I've learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don't question yourself, don't second guess yourself, just love.' 'Love love love love love.❤️ People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to…' 'But if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important. You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love.' JoJo recently confessed during an episode of Celebrity Big Brother - where she met Chris - that she previously identified as a lesbian, but now identifies as a queer woman. While Miley's gag was met with cheers and applause at the Washington D.C. festival, it failed to land online, with many social media users blasting Miley over the 'unnecessary' dig. She told fans: 'I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that miley is my day 1' Taking to X, one asked: 'Can ya'll just let bi people exist?' 'I adore Miley, but this isn't OK,' another said. 'JoJo never went back into the closet, SHE'S STILL QUEER! 'Again, JoJo being with Chris doesn't erase or change her attraction to women. Pride month should be about celebrating all members of the LGBT+ community, not about making jibes like this.' Echoing a similar sentiment, a third added: 'Publicly shaming a young woman exploring her sexuality is abhorrent not just Miley, but all of yall posting "jokes."' 'It should be studied how she gets away with being awful and not a girls girl,' wrote someone else. A fifth user posted: 'Mature enough to admit this was unnecessary.' 'This isn't even remotely funny,' said another. JoJo and Chris, who both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April, finally confirmed that they were dating last week following weeks of frenzied speculation. While starring on the reality show, JoJo opened up about her sexuality and her journey. She said at the time: 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think being here, I've realized, "Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer." I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters.' Later, while speaking to Us Weekly, the former Dance Moms personality said she thought the statement wouldn't make it to television. 'That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, "This will never see the light of day,"' she said. 'I don't mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical.' JoJo went on to reject putting her sexuality 'in a box.'

The 1% Club eliminates 15 players on difficult letters question – but are you smarter and can answer in under 30 secs?
THE 1% Club eliminated 15 players on a difficult letter question - but are you smarter and could you have solved it in 30 seconds? Hosted by Lee Mack, contestants put their logic and common sense to the test in the hit ITV quiz. 3 3 Lee was on top form on the ITV favourite in which he is tasked with finding who is the brainiest of his 100 audience members. Every week, fans see the players whittled down as they fail to advance past the increasingly difficult questions. This time around was no different, as 15 people failed to correctly work out the 70% puzzle. Reading the question to the audience, Lee asked: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "Is a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet but which letter appears the most?" Lee then gave the contestants the choice of A, E, I or O. And as the thirty seconds counted down he joked: "The foxes around my way are very cocky. "They knock on the door to remind me to put the bins out - I'm joking, my wife puts the bins out." Once 30 seconds was up, it was revealed 15 people had given the wrong answer and were eliminated. The correct answer was O, as it was explained: "Many people think it's E as it's the most commonly used letter in the alphabet. The 1% Club knocks out 25 players on 'easy' picture question - can you get it? "But it is in fact O which appears four times in the sentence." Since debuting three years ago, the game show is well-known for its tricky puzzles. A previous episode saw a whopping 30 people wiped out on a smiley face brainteaser. The 1% Club's Most Difficult Questions The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show's most difficult teasers. Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides. Find the image and answer here. Players were shown groups of six symbols then asked which were in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Find the image and answer here. Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. Find the answer here. Peter had recently found his old diary that he'd written in secret code but he couldn't remember how to decipher what he wrote. Players were asked to crack the code and find out what the bold word was. WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72. Find the image and answer here. Players were tasked with working out how many eyes they could see in an image, which was made up of letters, symbols and emojis. Find the image and the answer here. A 1% question was based on a grid of numbers going in ascending order from 1 to 49. Starting on 25, the middle square, SEEN took you to square 27. From there, NEW took you to 20. From there, which square would SEWN take you to? Find the image and the answer here. And finally, an easy one - What common food in bold has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER If you really don't know you can find the answer here. Shown on screen were 18 emoji-style faces arranged in three rows of six. Once the time limit was up, Lee revealed 30 people had answered incorrectly and were therefore out. On another occasion, 18 people went out on a tricky alphabet question. Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that did not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet. The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable. Meanwhile a contestant has revealed a strict rule that might get you kicked off the show instantly. 3 The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
