Chris Hughes reveals the sweet way JoJo Siwa has 'rubbed off' on him
Chris Hughes has shared a sweet way his freshly confirmed other half JoJo Siwa has 'rubbed off' on him.
American TV and social media star JoJo entered the Celebrity Big Brother House in April and quickly bonded with Chris, best known for his stint on Love Island in 2017.
At the show's after party JoJo also dumped her partner Kath Ebbs, 27. Since then JoJo and Chris have been spending time together in the UK and US, sharing intimate photos – including one of them in bed together.
After weeks of speculation, JoJo, 22, confirmed she and Chris, 32, have made their relationship official and she's started calling him her boyfriend, in a new interview with Capital Radio.
She said: 'I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.'
Chris has now shared a sweet update on the couple, as he joined a knackered Sam Thompson on his multi-marathon challenge.

Sam congratulated Chris on his new relationship, after a tough day cycling 43K, and the loved up former Islander had some motivational advice he had taken from JoJo.
Chris told Sam on HitsRadio: 'I said to Sam on the way around, just keep it pushing and that's her terminology rubbed off on me, but it's a great phrase for this. You just gotta keep it pushing.'
Sam went on to say that Chris looks 'incredibly happy' as he congratulated him on the new relationship status.
'I was saying, just chase the happiness,' said Sam. 'That's the most important thing in this world. And I'm really happy for you mate.' More Trending
He added: 'You look over the moon and it makes me happy. So, yeah, keep doing it mate. Anything that makes you happy, you keep cracking on.'
In a recent interview with the Guardian, JoJo again spoke about identifying as queer, which she said best 'encompasses how I am, and who I am', adding: 'You can't help who you love.'
During an appearance on Sunday Brunch yesterday, JoJo spoke about her family's opinion on her new partner.

19th century ceramics recovered from shipwreck to go on display
The SS Eagle sank off the Isle of Arran on November 28, 1859, after colliding with a sailing boat, with the loss of 11 lives. The ship was sailing from Glasgow to Londonderry with a general cargo, 200 sheep and 54 passengers when the collision happened. The ceramics, discovered by Oban-based diver and maritime explorer Graeme Bruce and team in July 2024, were made by Glasgow-based Bell's Pottery. READ MORE: American investors buy UK's oldest ice hockey team based in Scotland During the 19th century, Glasgow was a major centre for the production of ceramics, and the items from SS Eagle will form part of the Scottish Maritime Museum's summer exhibition from Saturday. Bruce (below) said: 'Diving has been my great passion for 35 years. For me, a shipwreck is a time capsule hidden from view over time by the sea. (Image: Graeme Bruce) 'The privilege of being able to explore and connect with the past is beyond description. 'Enabling the artefacts from shipwrecks like this Bell's Pottery collection to then have a new life on show for everyone to learn from and appreciate is so important. 'Connecting people with a heritage like this means everything to me and those I dive with.' The Beneath The Waves exhibition at the museum in Irvine, North Ayrshire, brings together the ceramics, award-winning photography and an artist's marine sketches. Bell's Pottery is recognised as arguably the most internationally significant producer of ceramic wares in Scotland at the time. The haul from the SS Eagle is almost intact, which museum bosses say is unprecedented. Experts said this, coupled with the lack of surviving pottery from Glasgow's industrial ceramics period, which spanned three centuries from 1748 to the mid-1980s, makes the SS Eagle's ceramic tableware nationally significant. (Image: Scottish Maritime Museum in North Ayrshire) The SS Eagle collection features ceramics destined for trade and exhibition in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, and artefacts from the ship's galley. Exhibits include seven plates and a bowl, a teapot lid, two bottles, a decanter and bell. Complementing the SS Eagle ceramics, Beneath The Waves also features cups and plates from the Scottish Maritime Museum's own national maritime heritage collection, as well as four vessels dating back to the Roman Empire on loan from North Ayrshire Heritage Centre. The SS Eagle launched from the Dumbarton yard of Alexander Denny in July 1857. The 324-tonne steamer was acquired by the McConnel and Laird Line of Glasgow in June 1859 for service as a passenger and cargo vessel. (Image: Scottish Maritime Museum in North Ayrshire) Eva Bukowska, exhibitions and events officer at the Scottish Maritime Museum, said: 'We are really excited to host the first showing of these fascinating ceramics recovered from SS Eagle. 'The vessel also has a significance for the museum as it was built by Alexander Denny, who was the brother of William Denny, whose test tank is now home to our second collection in Dumbarton.'

Ryan Reynolds' legion of Australian fans get MORE good news as Deadpool star teams up with Hugh Jackman for exciting new Aussie sports venture
With Wrexham set to travel Down Under for their upcoming pre-season tour, Ryan Reynolds has once again delighted his legion of Australian fans by announcing a new venture with Hollywood A-lister and Aussie icon Hugh Jackman. It can be revealed that Jackman and Reynolds, have become the new co-owners of the newly rebranded BONDS Flying Roos - Australia's SailGP team. The news also comes as underwear brand BONDS have become the new Title Partner of the Australian sailing outfit. It is the first time that the SailGP side has had a Title Partner, with BONDS, one of Australia's most iconic brands, set to fly the Australian flag alongside the Flying Roos. In true Reynolds fashion, the co-owners released an amusing joint statement claiming that Jackman would be bringing his 'emotional support human [Reynolds]' along for the voyage. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' the Deadpool and Wolverine stars said in a joint statement. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. 'He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. 'Apologies in advance to Australia. 'No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' It also means that Reynolds has added yet another business venture to his expanding portfolio. The American actor was seen celebrating earlier this year after Wrexham were promoted to the Championship. He famously owns the footy club alongside fellow Hollywood superstar and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator, Rob McElhenney. Reynolds, 48, also has investments in Aviation American Gin and the Alpine Formula One team. Meanwhile, Aussie star Tom Slingsby and his team are currently leading the SailGP championship with 39 points, one point against Emirates GBR in second place, and two clear of Spain in third. The Aussie crew have won the SailGP championship three times over the past four years, with Slingsby, a CEO, driver and fellow co-owner of the team, speaking of his pride to have such inspiring brands and individuals join the Flying Roos on their venture. 'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team,' Slingsby said. 'They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humour that fits perfectly with our team. 'With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos, we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.' BONDS recently launched in the United States, in partnership with Robert Irwin, and Tanya Deans, president of the company added that the organisation were also over the moon to be on board with Australian royalty in Jackman. 'We're thrilled to join forces with such an iconic duo and an adrenaline-fueled sport ready for its moment in the spotlight. And how do you say no to Hugh Jackman? He's Australian royalty! 'As we set sail on this new adventure, the BONDS Flying Roos have one less thing to worry about – we've got their backs (and bums) covered,' Deans said. The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team are now due to make their official debut following the rebrand at the Muybadala New York Sail Grand Prix, which is being hosted between June 7 and 8.
